Re-Flex were a London new wave band built around John Baxter, who sang lead and played guitar, with Roland Vaughan Kerridge on drums and François Craig also in the ranks. Their moment came with "The Politics of Dancing", the title track of their 1983 debut album: a sleek, pulsing dancefloor sermon with synths ticking like a clock and a chorus that sounds like a slogan.
It is the song they are remembered for. The band stopped working together as a unit in 1985, though members kept turning up on each other's solo projects in the years that followed.
