Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Flash Atkins

flash atkins hits hard with the second 12 inch,, to be taken from his critically acclaimed * the life and times* album on paper recordings. this time he pulls in three of the world’s best producers of underground future disco and all of them step up the plate to score a bullseye with their first throw.

deep disco warrior the revenge turns in an epic hypnotic mix of slow burning house nailed down by analogue bass and acid. using a filtered vocal it builds slowly as the bottom end is tweeked towards a mesmeric journey through minimal wigged out disco. sleazy mcqueen and romano arcaini turn in a disco inflected house mix with congas, spaces out synths and enough dynamics to keep any dancefloor bubbling. it builds with added percussion and a filtered pad before the lead hits the break and the track comes back in with even more wallop. drug empire is an original off the album and has had support from the likes of rune lindbaek, crazy p’s hot toddy and horse meat disco. said to be inspired by theo parrish’s productions it’s a delicious slice of bass driven deep disco with a nod to the looser end of detroit and chicago. it’s all about the fully locked in three note analogue moog bass which holds down the grooved out drums before breaking to jazzy rhodes at the end. one for the heads.

flash atkins aka ben davis. he lends a techy big room flavour to 3am's house label in 'photoshoot'. pitched down vocals hover over a bright acid line and bursting bass line. 'wishpole' more ligher sound, where jazz licks and double bass stabs sit amongst a laid back, shuffling drum pattern and light vocals give a summery fee
