Cinematic, melancholic dance music that feels like the city at 3am. Ethereal vocals meet deep, melodic progressive house for the drive home.
Reflekt creates the kind of electronic music that lives in the space between the dancefloor and the bedroom. It is characterized by a deep, pulsing melodicism that feels both expansive and intensely private. The sound is anchored by lush, cinematic textures often borrowed from film scores, giving each track a weight and narrative gravity that typical club tracks lack. It is music for the moments when the adrenaline of the night starts to fade into reflection.
What truly sets them apart is the interplay between Seb Fontaine's club-honed production and the haunting, breathy delivery of vocalists like Delline Bass. They specialize in the 'slow burn' - tracks that do not rely on aggressive drops, but rather on the gradual accumulation of emotional tension through shimmering synths and tragic, beautiful string arrangements. It is sophisticated, grown-up trance that prioritizes mood over tempo.
Start with 'Need To Feel Loved', specifically the Adam K & Soha remix if you want the definitive sunset vibe, or the original to hear the brilliant Thomas Newman sample. It is a masterclass in how to make a dance track feel like a heartbreak. From there, explore 'Shine' for a similar blend of ethereal vocals and driving, melodic progression.
Reflekt were an English electronic music duo consisting of DJ/remixer/producers Seb Fontaine and Julian Peake (aka Jay P. or Jules Vern – one half of Stretch & Vern).
