An edit master supported by the likes of GILLES PETERSON, FRANÇOIS K and DANNY KRIVIT, THE REFLEX has delivered releases on 〈STAR TIME〉 and 〈REVISION〉 that remain want-list staples years after they dropped — and now his own label 〈FLEX7〉 is back in action! On "Without Ur Luv" (sample1), he takes the disco-funk gem by THE BLACKBYRDS — students who studied under the legendary DONALD BYRD — and gives it a heavy, funky rework while keeping the original's glittering, silky vocal flair. Flip it over for "Xpress Urselves" (sample2), a remake of the classic that's been sampled by N.W.A and countless others, rebuilt with funky space and a killer bassline. A double-sider!
