The Reflex

Nile Rodgers is a fan. Kid Creole is a fan. Disclosure, Jazzy Jeff, and Joris Voorn are all fans. From house music royalty Joey Negro, Dimitri from Paris and Mousse T, to the original DJ - remix pioneers John Morales, Greg Wilson, Danny Krivit, and Nicky Siano, all the way to Aeroplane, DJ Marky, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Horse Meat Disco, J.Rocc, Nic Fanciulli, Jazzie B, Cut Killer, Rainer Truby, Acid Arab, Nightmares on Wax… They are all fans of The Reflex. Fascinated by the remix from an early age, London-based French native Nicolas Laugier, aka The Reflex, takes his cue from the first wave of disco remixers by using only the original sounds from the master tapes (or stems) to breathe new life into soul, pop and disco classics. Imaginative arrangements, boxfresh sonics and intricate editing make The Reflex Revisions rocket fuel for every DJ set. Very few editors out there put as much time and detail into their work as The Reflex and the results speak for themselves: heavily championed by BBC6 Music’s Craig Charles, The Reflex Revisions have amassed over 50 weeks of radio play in just two years on this number one rated show. They have also found their way onto the playlists of tastemakers like Rob Da Bank, and Gilles Peterson, who last year sent the Michael Jackson ‘Rock With You’ Revision spinning around the globe. But it’s not all about the past for The Reflex; Nicolas has also been applying his stems-only formula to contemporary tracks, showing off the strength of his ‘less is more’ approach on production to a wider audience. Having clearly established himself as one of the best in the remix field, with two official compilations of revisions in the works and gigs lined up all over the planet, now is the time to sit up and take notice of this French DJ / producer doing it his way. There are edits, many of them. Then there are The Reflex Revisions – quite simply… next level. “When I play his version of The Jackson 5’s ABC I’m in awe at the sound coming out of the speakers” – Greg Wilson on The Reflex www.gregwilson.co.uk/2013/10/revisionism-remixing-the-reflex-way/ Who’s playing The Reflex (DJ sets, mixtapes and radio) https://soundcloud.com/thereflex/sets/djs-playing-the-reflex Bookings UK / Europe / Americas : paul@theunityagency.co.uk Bookings France: contact@madmanregent.com
