The artist
Behind
the sound.
REZ HITS is Ryan Kaplan—an American DJ, producer and audio engineer exploring the space between live instruments and electronic music.
House grooves. Bass. Pop-funk. A world of sound and visual art, made to get lost in.
In the studio.
On the floor.
REZ HITS brings analog and digital sounds together: live instrumentation, detailed production and punchy house beats. The same curiosity connects his recording work to his DJ sets.
From Morristown’s nightlife to Jersey Shore rooftops and Manhattan lounges, REZ HITS brings his sound to dance floors across New Jersey and New York City. Alongside regular sets at Sushi Lounge in Morristown, his appearances include Parkside Tavern, Horseshoe Tavern, The Rooftop at Beach Haus in Belmar and Ploume at The Ivory Peacock in Manhattan. Earlier sets have also taken him to Miami and Tel Aviv.
