A set of seven studies that test the musical limits of Hungarian musician Lazár's unique approach to meticulous groove and micro-permutation. Similar to 2022's Boundary Object, Reflex revels in the plasticity and possibilities of its materials. However, unlike the previous album, which took the listener on a journey from simplicity to complexity, Reflex begins in a challenging abstracted zone and evolves incrementally towards more recognisable and danceable forms of techno.

It's a risky approach requiring hefty cognitive commitment from the off, but the payoff is in the way the music opens up over time, in the process making sense to the body as well as the mind. If the minimal palette contributes to a feeling of sameness across the set, however, this is as disciplined, lean and sharp as Lázár has ever sounded, especially on latter tracks "Receive" and "Execute".
