Django Django - Reflections

Light is proving to be the central theme of Django Django’s return, and after previous single ‘First Light’ flickered with the promise of what’s to come, ‘Reflections’ comes burning into view like an experimentation-fuelled beacon.

Its initial hit comes in the form of a galloping Todd Terje-esque synth pattern, and while it’s a suitable pointer for a track that owes much to house and disco, its 4/4 pulse and happy piano riffs are only half the story, here. Flirting generously with nu disco and piano house nods, it’s put up alongside a mind-boggling sax-led middle 8 that strikes of absolute ballsy triumph.

Django Django’s story is beginning to feel like a continuous evolution. It’s one borne of complete fluidity and a freedom with their own creativity, allowing them to pull things off in ways that few others could. Django Django have replicated their previous vibrancy, applying it in a way that’s positively glistening.
