“Come on in…” The opening line of Reel People’s new single says it all. A close collaboration with French DJ-producer Sebb Junior and Atlanta singer-songwriter Smith, Holla If You See Me grabs from the get-go thanks to its irresistible blend of soulful depth and future-sheen.

Fans of both Reel People and Sebb Junior won’t be disappointed. Holla If You See Me is a swaggering, super-smooth bridge between R&B, soul and house, with tight beats, rolling b-line and dreamy swirls of synth driving on Smith’s incredible jet-setting, love-happy vocals.

Sebb Junior is an unstoppable force on today’s soulful house and dance scene, and no stranger to the Reel People family having previously remixed the collective and dropped uplifting EP Together Alone on its perpetually in-demand label.

Reel People, spearheaded by core trio Oli Lazarus, Mike Patto and Toni Economides, builds on a flurry of successful singles and EPs in 2021, as well as the beautifully remastered release of landmark album Second Guess. The collective’s thirst for heartfelt grooves and sweet songcraft still knows no bounds.

Holla… you definitely need this new cut in your life.

Fandango

Momentum captures the moment after silence, the movement that never stopped, only refined.
Each track is built with precision and restraint: deep house, melodic techno, and the pulse of late nights that never needed words.
Bardoq returns in full form, darker, cleaner, and fully in control.
Nothing left to prove. Just motion.

Bardoq - Momentum - 03 Nothing Left To Prove

In the silence between two heartbeats, a flame begins to speak.
Whispers in the Fire is that moment when the soul remembers its own voice —
a breath of heat, a pulse of light, a secret carried by rhythm.
It doesn’t tell a story… it awakens one.

Lyrics :

I feel your rhythm call my name
Lost in the dark, we’re all the same

The drums awaken every flame
I hear your voice again
Whispers in the fire

Take me higher

Take me higher

Take me higher

Whispers in the Fire

I Don't Care

It began in South Africa! A Deep House Sunday session in Johannesburg called ‘Patterns’ was the original inspiration behind this soul-jazz-afro fused collaboration. Returning to Bristol from his 2015 tour in SA, Sean began writing the instrumental idea for what later became ‘Grow’.

Dawn Williams is no stranger to contributing her gifted talents to create songs for the world to think about. With ‘Grow’, Dawn graces us with her inspirational message of hope and self–growth.

Sean McCabe’s ‘Patterns Vocal Mix’ has a solid groove, lush jazzy chords and layered with nice paddy synths – topped off with both beautiful and amazing vocals from Dawn, capturing hearts and taking you on a journey.

Warm Days label boss and Patterns resident DJ, QB Smith, is on remix duty. QB takes the jazz influences to the next level by exploring more syncopated rhythms, complemented by tender harmonic qualities that carefully bed the vocal track.

Add a pumped up dub with a snare pattern set to move your body, and this is most definitely a track that uplifts your soul and makes you want to dance.

“After the storm the clouds clear,
And the sun begins to shine all around me.” 

“Grow (After The Storm)” is available to buy exclusively at Traxsource.com from 9 December 2016 and all other digital stores from 6 January 2017.

It's Not You, It's Me (feat. Rick Braun)

Reel People are back. Back to their roots. Back to the future. Back with a bang. Eagerly awaited new album Retroflection sees the revered collective recreating 12 soul, disco and boogie classics pivotal to their formation nearly 20 years ago and subsequent hugely successful evolution. Band leader Oli Lazarus has gathered a stellar cast of musicians and singers, – the likes of Angie Stone, Mica Paris, Omar, Tony Momrelle, Navasha Daya, Anthony David, LaSharVu and Sharlene Hector breathing fresh and irresistible life into seminal grooves by Maze, Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King and Teena Marie among others.

Mica Paris opens proceedings, her powerful take on Alicia Myers’ gospel-R&B jam I Want To Thank You an impressive herald for what’s to come – authenticity, contemporary edge, rich musicianship, beating soulful heart. Angie Stone provides sass ‘n’ slink over signature low-end synths for a suitably raw re-tooling of Yarbrough & People’s 1980 hit Don’t Stop The Music, whilst the funky strut of Thinking About Your Love (a crisper, more urgent update of Skipworth & Turner) perfectly complements Omar’s expansive, one-in-a-million vocals. Elsewhere, Reel People regular Tony Momrelle revisits Carl Anderson’s mid-Eighties gem Buttercup (penned by Stevie Wonder) with considerable finesse as well as Bill Withers’ seriously underrated collabo with guitarist Jose Feliciano, Can We Pretend.

Basement Jaxx songstress Sharlene Hector uplifts on a sparkling new version of Side Effect’s Always There. Reel People’s sweet summer hook-ups with Baltimore chanteuse Navasha Dava are also present and correct – I’m In Love and Can’t Fake The Feeling pay affectionate tribute to Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King and Geraldine Hunt respectively at the same time as showcasing Daya’s sublime, jazz-flecked delivery. There’s still room for Anthony David’s luscious rendition of deep-soul bomb Keep It Up (originally by Milton Wright) and for LaSharVu – a white-hot amalgam of Hector and fellow female powerhouses Vulu Malinga and LaDonna Harley-Peters – to smartly re-dress Teena Marie joint I Need Your Lovin’. Sleek instrumental twists on Maze’s Twilight and Pleasure’s Joyous complete the incredible line-up.

Reel People’s first full studio album in 10 years (following acclaimed releases Second Guess and Seven Ways To Wonder, as well as compilation work including Golden Lady), Retroflection reflects the highest possible level of passion and polish. Such soulful devotion and craftmanship has ever been a Reel People hallmark. Recorded in London and Atlanta over an intense 12-month period, Retroflection also avoids the formulaic overload of modern beats and basslines that countless others pursue. Here the past is artfully reawakened, Reel People’s talented cast of performers – overseen by experienced studio-hands Lazarus, Mike Patto, Matt Cooper (of Incognito fame) and Toni Economides - re-treading classic riffs with new yet respectful purpose. Their compelling neo-soul blend of now and then should awe diehards and newcomers alike. Retroflection is one hell of a return.

Oh, and before you ask – (it’s the question Lazarus gets the most) – live shows are set to follow. Reel People have recorded Retroflection with an easy translation to ‘the road’ front of funky mind. Looks, then, like we’ll be enjoying this incredible group’s company well into 2019…and beyond. It really is good to have them back.
