London-based producer, composer and DJ LUXE returns with her latest EP IN TALES BETWEEN, a four-track record that finds a unique balance between classical instrumentation and carefully crafted electronic production. Across its concise 17-minute runtime, LUXE creates a sound that moves effortlessly between warmth and mystery, combining the intimacy of classic instrumentation with the energy and movement of club music.
Opening track “flow, out” immediately establishes that balance. Bright, warm strings appear within the first minute over softened jungle-inspired rhythms and delicate vocal melodies, before a heavier bassline gradually enters the arrangement. Rather than feeling like two separate worlds competing for attention, the organic and electronic elements complement one another, creating a sense of movement while maintaining the track’s uplifting atmosphere.
LUXE could comfortably remain within that euphoric space throughout the EP, but IN TALES BETWEEN is at its strongest when it embraces uncertainty. Second track ‘Luteal’ introduces a sense of intrigue through ethereal melodies and slowly building tension, demonstrating the versatility of LUXE’s production and expertly finding beauty in the space between electronic experimentation and human emotion.
That same fluidity shines through on “Whole”, where LUXE perfectly captures the feeling that runs throughout the EP. “I’m lost again, in your arms,” she sings, as energetic beats and weightless instrumentation combine to create something simultaneously expansive and intimate. Rather than simply blending classical and electronic influences, LUXE allows both to breathe together, creating a sound that feels distinctly her own.
Closing track “Witching” places LUXE’s angelic vocals at the forefront, which is unsurprising given her formal vocal training. Moving away from some of the immediate euphoria of the previous tracks, it instead feels like a moment of reflection and resolution. The intricate layering of vocals, beats and instrumentation highlights LUXE’s skill as both a producer and composer, demonstrating an artist with a clear understanding of how restraint can be just as powerful as intensity.
Never demanding attention, but earning it through thoughtful production and emotional depth, IN TALES BETWEEN captures the feeling that makes electronic music so powerful: its ability to turn individual emotion into a shared experience. There is an intimacy running throughout the EP, but one that feels designed to be experienced alongside others—in those fleeting moments where strangers connect through music, movement and atmosphere. LUXE has created a record that feels equally suited to quiet reflection and a crowded dancefloor, capturing the rare space between the personal and the collective.
