"Reflective Records serves as a reminder of when San Francisco had the potential and the runway to do much better, by leaps and bounds. Jonah Sharp, also known as Spacetime Continuum, arrived in San Francisco from the UK in the early '90s. He had regularly performed in London alongside acts such as Orbital and Mixmaster Morris."
"I've often said-and I'll say it again for those in the cheap seats-the Reflective catalog is like a secret, soulful handshake, an encoded dap, IYKYK, a third language speaking to a unique state of being for those residing in the 415. Those records were soundtracking an evolution in real-time: Outdoor raves and indoor chill-out rooms, contributing to the mystique that was shaping culture, dance music, and a burgeoning version of Cloud City that would make it a travel destination for anyone curious about modern music."
Reflective Records, built by Jonah Sharp and his wife Billee, became an internationally respected label after Sharp relocated from the UK to San Francisco in the early 1990s. Sharp had performed in London with acts like Orbital and Mixmaster Morris before embracing Northern California's coastal climate and culture. The label's catalog created a distinctive local language for Bay Area listeners and soundtracked outdoor raves, indoor chill-out rooms, and an evolving dance-music scene. Sharp's 1993 "Fluorescence" track continued to resonate with later DJs. Reflective Records helped cement San Francisco as a destination for curious modern-music travelers.
