TUSKO FATALE was formed in the late 80's when singer/songwriter/psychonaut David Orr met drummer/recording engineer Bob Gurske. Originally it was a recording project exploring the effects of psychoactive plants (entheogens) on musical composition. Shortly after its inception, guitarist Donnie Kepley joined the band giving Tusko the opportunity to perform its music live. 
In 1990 'Roo Records released the self title album TUSKO FATALE containing such songs as 'Psychoactive Salad Bar' and 'The Unfortunate Elephant' (which was named after the ill fated 1962 LSD experiment that led to the death of the Lincoln Park Zoo elephant Tusko in Oklahoma City). 'Roo Records released Tusko's second album 'Prick (of the Pedro)' in 1993. This was Tusko's tribute to the San Pedro cactus though it also contained the song 'Yage' which was about the ayahuasca 'experience'. 'Roo Records released Tusko's 'The Master's Gone' and 'Working for Lorne Greene' in 1995 on the 'Soundings' compilation. Tusko Fatale's 'Bryce, the Skunkman & You' was released the same year on 'Roo's 'Expedition Series #1. 
TUSKO FATALE stopped recording and performing in 1997. 
In 2007 Alex Boese released his book 'Elephants on Acid and Other Bizarre Experiments'. The book cited the ill fated 1962 LSD experiment with TUSKO the elephant and talked about its effect on popular culture mentioning TUSKO FATALE and quoting David's lyrics in the song 'The Unfortunate Elephant'(see the video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmjhY4Iupzc&feature=related 
David released an acoustic version of a previously unreleased TUSKO FATALE song called 'It's a Pity' in 
2008 (see the video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlvuYVKO4E8 
TUSKO FATALE reformed in 2009 and performed a reunion show at the Norva in Norfolk, Virginia. Shortly thereafter, they started writing and recording new material. The song/video 'The Ghost of a Hurricane' was released in early 2011 (see the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utH0WSWBtCw). 
TUSKO FATALE'S drummer, Bob Gurske died unexpectedly on July 4, 2011. The band then released their song/video 'Arr... Ain't No Brouhaha' in late 2011 and dedicated the video in memory of Bob (see the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaZCetjwEIg). 
In 2012 TUSKO FATALE released their video for 'Bryce, the Skunkman and You' (see video at: 
www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUbsIg_W-kc ). 
Tusko Fatale was included in ' Hardcore Norfolk: A Story of Rock 'n' Roll Survival', a documentary about the Rock 'n' Roll music scene in Norfolk, VA and surrounding cities from the 1950's to today. 
David has continued to write new material for TUSKO, which he and Donnie plan on recording and releasing in 2012.

Launched in 2010, THE REFLEX is a project from producer / DJ Nicolas Laugier, a French national based in the UK since 1998. Following on the footsteps of remix / DJ edit pioneers Larry Levan, Shep Pettibone, François Kevorkian or John Luongo, The Reflex somewhat redefined the remix rules book by using stems and multitracks to craft fresh, innovative versions (dubbed ’revisions’) from classics tracks and artists, genre-hopping through the decades and styles with ease, combining creativity and functionality with often spectacular results.
With constant support from superstar DJs, tastemakers, A-list artists and creatives to high profile brands / events through to bedroom DJ’s, The Reflex revisions are now part of the musical landscape.

Clocking over 100M+ streams, The Reflex is a multi-faceted artist that has lent his skills to ads for Louis Vuitton, Karl Lagerfeld, to remixes for the biggest names in pop and dance music, to extensive catalogue revisits for the likes of London Records, Salsoul/Westend and Zagora/Because, to a long standing collaboration with Noel Gallagher and to legendary artists like Joe Walsh (Eagles), Cerrone, Kathy Sledge, Blondie, Michel Polnareff, Nile Rodgers, Rita Lee, Kid Creole and more.
Boasting a strong online following and a loyal fanbase, including 322,000+ fans on YouTube, The Reflex is now ready to move into original productions; his first artist track “Weekend” has been snapped up by Glitterbox for release in May, with Ibiza / Malta gigs and a Defected Basement mix lined up to support the arrival of this first single.
On his own vinyl label Discolidays, The Reflex has collaborated with Because Music in Paris re-imagining the catalogue from (Daft Punk) Thomas Bangalter’s father, Daniel Vangarde, and his label Zagora while showcasing his remix work for Cerrone, Patrice Rushen, D.C. LaRue, Nile Rodgers ft Nubiyan Twist, Bruise and others to commercial and critical acclaim.

As a DJ, The Reflex sets are energy-packed workouts firmly rooted into disco / house / balearic territory somewhere between trainspotters’ paradise and revision anthems, with an ability to adapt to audiences and venues through his 20+ years DJ experience.
