Reset Robot is returning to Last Night On Earth with Simple, a two-track EP scheduled for 16 October 2026. The Portsmouth producer, whose real name is Dave Robertson, has spent years navigating the space between techno and house, releasing on labels including Soma, Get Physical and Drumcode. His new record for Sasha's imprint presents two distinct directions within a compact format.
Two different readings of club music
The title track draws on analogue synthesiser tones associated with the 1980s, alongside soft vocal elements and a steady four-to-the-floor foundation. Break Me Down moves towards rougher bass weight, garage-influenced rhythm and manipulated vocal textures. That contrast is the clearest editorial angle: rather than stacking versions of one idea, the EP places a more open, melodic side of Reset Robot next to a darker, rhythm-led one.
Robertson's background is closely tied to the British club scene, including the influence of venues such as fabric and Slinky and DJs including Sasha and John Digweed. His own Whistleblower Records project sits alongside a long list of collaborations and releases across the house and techno spectrum. The return to Last Night On Earth is therefore part of an established relationship between the artist's production work and the progressive club tradition around the label.
Simple and Break Me Down make up the complete tracklist. With the release scheduled for 16 October, the most useful way to approach it is as a forthcoming EP rather than to claim a listening experience that has not been independently established. The two pieces suggest different places in a DJ set while maintaining a recognisable focus on rhythmic detail and arrangement.
