"Incoming from the UK is a diamond cut from producer, composer, DJ & multi-instrumentalist Andrew Reynolds of Secretsundaze Studios. ‘Gettin’ Lifted’ is fast making a play for our track of the Summer months with a feel good house music vibe combining with a jazzy backdrop and a snappy hip-hop vocal sample.

It’s the latest in a string a lush gems from the British talent, who was recently snapped up by Aussie star Mall Grab and his Steel City Dance Discs imprint. We’re expecting big things to come from such an exciting collaboration. No need to trust us, though. Grab a taste of ‘Gettin’ Lifted’ just below!" - [27/07/17]

- "Andrew Reynolds first came to us with the wonderfully unique and beautiful 'Blossom Falls'. Since being enlightened by this cut we've been watching the young composer/producer closely, and have finally got round to having a good old chin wag with him for number seven in our Introductions series.

His track submission for the series, 'Heart Be Light', is as refreshingly mellifluous as they come. Driven by twinkling synths, a soft melodic bassline and a wholesome kick, each element of the track dances around one another in a wonderfully choreographed unison. What brings the track to its height is the enchanting female vocal line that sits on top, panning across your stereo field as if floating around your head on the river of instrumentation underneath. Andrew Reynolds' classical music background and electronic influences clearly shine through hear. Listen and download the track for free whilst reading about the talented artist's background and achievements below."

Hunger TV - featuring "Volta"

"Both Andrew Reynolds’ tune “Volta” and its genius accompanying video directed by Shiny, are challenges to their audience. Reynold’s track begins with disconcerting, incongruent sounds that recall a Kubrick soundtrack whilst Shiny’s princess-like character would likewise be at home in a horror movie. By the time Reynolds applies layers of skittish production and finds his groove, the character begins to reveal an unexpected identity. Awesome."

"Andrew Reynolds is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer operating from the suspiciously idyllic corner of Richmond in South-West London. An alumni of the Royal Northern College of Music, Andrew’s productions are highly detailed, vibrant, dreamily hypnotic pieces which suit personal listening or dancefloor shuffling. His debut EP “Only You Can Say” is released on Friday (20th March) and contains five tracks of tonally precise exploration and experimentation with rhythm and harmonic tension. Also check his video for Volta which has been nominated for the Berlin Music Video Awards below."

Music For My Friends - featuring "Only you can say" EP

"Today we bring you something a little different for the weekend, Andrew Reynolds most recent release 'Last Thing Left Behind'. With a background in composition and arrangement, Reynolds moved into the highly charged, left field of electronica a few years ago. Building his repertoire on eclectic grounds, the resulting EP, Only You Can Say, is a diverse and fascinating collection. New track 'Last Thing Left Behind' hints at his classical background, with a progression that spurns the formulaic both in rhythm and melody. With the dreamscape ambiences that form the track's backbone, the introduction of a bouncy, warm bassline is as unexpected as it is brilliant. Tack on JFK's famous American University speech at the tracks end before all fades to white, and it's a truly considered, enigmatic piece. The range of influences at play are one of the most interesting aspects of Reynolds music. Whether it's the stuttering, warping jazz of 'At The Violet Hour' or the spacey, 10-bit synesthesia of 'Eat Your Heart Out', he ploughs many furrows in his output. Whether he'll settle into one or another remains to be seen, but as an opening gambit, there's a huge deal to enjoy in Only You Can Say. Check out the rest of the EP here."

Elliot Stevens (music journalist and co-founder of Body Motion) - featuring "Only you can say" EP

"Andrew Reynolds’ Only You Can Say EP is a wonderful collection of tracks which are massively varied in tone without ever forfeiting its unique character. The six tracks on the record surge, roll, shimmer and glow from moment to moment, the delicately constructed ideas mapped with such extreme precision that new intricacies and colours are revealed with each listen.

The tracks contain dense layers of detail, and it’s easy to hear traces of some of the best in experimental electronic dance synonymous with late 00s ‘post-dubstep’– the 1-800 Dinosaur crew, Jamie XX, Mount Kimbie, Lone, etc. The shuffling beat and piercing, lunging harmonics contained in the EP’s title track, the dischordant, woozy, off-kilter vibe of Volta, the Carpenter-esque, rolling, sequenced organ of Eat Your Heart Out, Reynolds doesn’t shy away from the tension and release which is so satisfying and essential in confident, interesting production. At The Violet Hour contains passages of fat, saturated sound swells which are almost overwhelming when they crash, extremely reminiscent of James Blake’s I Never Learnt To Share. It’s a record which is thoughtful, complex, intricate and interesting, and has the extreme level of care taken over its production that makes it massively enjoyable to really engage with and properly listen to.

It’s a highly colourful record which is emotive, cinematic, well realised and with a shades of humour. Available from his bandcamp now (https://andrewreynolds.bandcamp.com/), Only You Can Say is an excellent debut from a brilliant young producer who is at the beginning of a very exciting career."
