Texture & Light

Texture & Light was formed by DJ Trevor Refix as a way to explore live instrumentation, synthesis, and narrative songwriting, while avoiding the common pitfalls of dance music production.

His debut Texture & Light album, 2013’s The Hard Problem of Consciousness, charted on campus radio stations across Canada. Its lead single “A Quiet Place” received extensive international radio play, with CBC Radio 3 listing it as one of the top Canadian tracks of 2013.

Texture & Light’s sophomore album, Inner Space Odyssey reached the National Earshot! Electronic Chart (Canada) following its October 2016 release. This album infinitely expands and refines Texture & Light’s distinctive electronic dream rock universe – it’s a dance floor destroyer one second, and a headphone mind-melter the next.

Inner Space Odyssey has been called “A buoyant and determined pop explosion that carries with it a multitude of effervescent melodies and gossamer sounds.” (Joshua Pickard, Nooga.com) and “deeply futuristic but infused with an invigorating effervescence reminiscent of the oxygen high one would encounter walking through an ancient forest.” (Dave O Rama, BC Musician Magazine).

A Texture & Light live show is a bumping, sweaty affair that features a mix of live instrumentation and intuitively interconnected hardware in lieu of boring laptops. Whether playing a festival main stage or crammed in a coffee shop, Texture & Light goes all the way.
