Welcoming the fourth instalment of our new ‘Reflections Revisited’ single series, British production duo Dusky present an ethereal, piano-led rework of their 2013 release ‘Mr Man’, originally heard as the standout track on James Grant & Jody Wisternoff’s Anjunadeep 05. 

Asserting themselves as leaders of the UK underground, Dusky have amassed a variety of titles throughout their career, including global headliners, where they have graced the likes of Berlin’s Parorama Bar to London’s famous nightclub Fabric. Since their 2012 breakthrough track ‘Flo Jam’ which saw them signed to Dogmatik, the duo continued to push their sound forward, landing a string of releases on iconic labels such as Anjunadeep and Polydor. Their biggest track ‘Careless’ went down as a cult classic, cementing their place in the scene’s hall of fame. 

Within these formative years, Dusky built up a strong rapport within the Anjunadeep eco-system, releasing their debut album ‘Stick By This, plus a series of EPs and multiple features on Anjunadeep’s annual series, including their 2013 production ‘Mr Man’ on Anjunadeep 05. 

With over 3 million streams on the original, the classically trained duo delve into their more traditional roots, which we have seen glimpses of over the years in the form of stripped back renditions such as ‘Lost In You (Pianopella)’, to present a stunning, moving piano-led rework.

"We have fond memories of making the original version of Mr Man and playing it out in our DJ sets over the years. The track came about from an unlikely pairing between a deep house backing and a piano line inspired by Debussy’s Clair De Lune. 

We’ve been listening to a lot of ambient music recently, and writing a lot too, so with encouragement from the Reflections label team we decided to re-work Mr Man into something beatless. The piano riff came first in the original writing process, so we felt it made sense to take it and completely re-imagine a whole new piano-led piece of music around it."

British composer and producer Cephas Azariah returns to Reflections with his latest peaceful piano composition ‘Fading Anxieties’ to celebrate World Piano Day 2024. 

Since first joining the label in 2021 on the third instalment of their emerging artist series ‘Reflections 03’ with his composition ‘Table Cloth’, Cephas has delivered a string of highly respected singles and EPs, amassing over 13.5 million streams in just a handful of releases. Including an ambient rework of Anjunadeep trio Cubicolor’s ‘Machine Keys’ and a 5-track collaborative EP with #1 Billboard charting Christian singer-songwriter Elle Limebear. 

With an intention to produce music for peace, contemplation and stillness, his sound has resonated with audiences far and wide, captivating a sold out 325-capacity room at his debut live show at East-London’s Night Tales Loft in early February of this year. 

In celebration of World Piano Day, Cephas presents his single ‘Fading Anxieties’, a slow and soothing piano-led lullaby. 

“Anxiety, for me, is a prompt towards space. Spiritual, physical and sensory space. “I need space” is what I’d say to myself. That’s why there are many audible, intentional gaps in this song - to help decelerate and allow room for the anxiety to slowly fade.” - Cephas

Cephas Azariah ‘Fading Anxieties’, out now on Reflections.

piano sound diary 0823 w/noise

This piece places a quiet piano performance against a subtle background of noise textures.
I sampled and layered two types of noise:

Gray noise (shaped from white noise with EQ, softened into a fog-like presence)

Pink noise (a warm, grounded layer that slowly emerges in the second half)

By combining these two noise sources, the background gains both depth and atmosphere,
like a shaded canvas on which the piano can unfold its diary-like reflections.

Today’s piano sound diary 0823 w/noise
was created by sampling and blending two different kinds of noise.

2020 was a breakout year for CRi (a.k.a Christophe Dubé). Already a star in his native Montréal, he found a global audience with the release of his acclaimed debut album ‘Juvenile’, which featured collaborations with a number of fellow Quebecois, including the legendary Daniel Belanger, one of CRi’s musical heroes. 

CRi and Belanger collaborated on ‘Signal’, which now receives a beautiful acoustic piano revision from another French-Canadian talent, Jean-Michel Blais. Blais is best known for his debut album ‘II’, which was named one of Time Magazine’s best albums of 2016, and has picked up over 50 million streams to date. Blais also won the Soundtrack Award at the esteemed Cannes Film Festival in 2019, having produced the score for Xavier Dolan’s film Matthias & Maxime.
