Flash Atkins feat. Danielle Moore :
Chant No.1 (I Can’t Keep This Pressure On) – The Remixes

Flash Atkins…Superhero, boozer and welfare sponger is back with a remix package of Chant No. 1 (I Don’t Need This Pressure On) originally by 80s chubsters Spandau Ballet.

Chant No.1 features Crazy P’s Danielle Moore on vocals and was out last year as part of the Fags & Booze EP. It’s quirky nu-disco got props from Chris Coco, Groove Armada, Leo Zero & Cosmic Disco. The tracks in this package are the result of a remix competition that We Are Woodville ran.

Manchester’s DATG have created side-chained piece of deep, dark disco that guaranteed for dancefloor mayhem, especially after the drop!

New kid on the block Aaron’s Smith’s Stop The Car remix goes down the disco edit route by cutting things up and piecing it back together to ride the groove with snatched efx.

It’s a quirky all round a package that hits the disco zetgeist!

Jim Stanton (Horsemeat Disco) – GREAT! In the set , what good sound. I still play the original and will def be giving this a good play. Love it!

Stuart Knight (Toolroom) – I think i’m becoming a BIG FLASH ATKINS fan !!! Aaron Smiths mix is the one for me here.

Billy Scurry – Killer, been hammering the original, great package…ten stars

Untitled Music – Funky nu-disco house 4/4 beater tunes are the stuff superheroes are made of and Flash is no different! With Danielle Moore on vocals the two tracks are a heady blend of intoxicating beats, synth chords and a slap of soul to the grooves!

Tom Findlay (Groove Armada) – stop the car mix – odd but interesting

Murray Richardson – Love this, always loved this & love the remixes too!

Jonny Miller (Jus’ Listen) – Flash is a loser but this tune is a winner! Love it, silky disco for silky discos

Beats in Space – liking the DATG mix

Henri Kohn – Wooo wooo, nice one, feelin it big ups

Joakim – Interesting mix by DATG, unexpected.

Martin Brew – DATG mix is a winner…suitably wonky enough for me…love it!

Advokkat – Great & crazy track – It s a funny track – I like that

Ewen Beginerz – Brilliant, i really like this.

Daco – Aquarium EP Out Now

DACO: ‘Aquarium’EP
PAPD07

1. Aquarium
2. Feel Your Love feat. Sarah Howard
3. Something for You
4. Play My Mind

Out Now on Beatport : CLICK ME

PAPERecordings has hooked up with Dave Connally aka Daco, one of Manchester’s best-kept secrets for a four track EP of pure class.

Daco has been a cornerstone of dance music in the North since the early 90s through his work with Zed Bias’ Phuturelounge, Jonny Miller’s broken beat label Jus’ Listen and The Unabombers Elektrons project. 2010 will see the launch of his own Magnetic Recordings and debut album. Always in league with the thrill of exploration and the genre ‘good music’, DACO’s pace, depths and decades of influence endlessly journey through jazz, soul and disco, funk, electro and house.

The Aquarium EP mixes up a heady brew of jazz, soul, house, breaks, afro, techno and garage for four amazingly produced timeless tracks. Opening track ‘Aquarium’ is 4/4 roller that slips in to the easy side of jazz with gorgeous filtered strings and vocals with a groove aimed at making hips shake and feet shuffle.

Next up Feel Your Love has broken beats holding down a deep as your feet bass. Subtle washes and Sarah Howard’s’ gorgeous vocals ooze class.

Something For You has been out on vinyl and now gets a digital release. Full orchestral instrumentation, horns, flute, percussion and live drums provide a latin groove that pops and drops, coming off like a big band floor-filler with that all important heavy bottom end.

Finally, Play Your Mind is deep music for the head with Rhodes, broken drums sat back in the mix and plenty of SFX.

Radioslave : Love “Aquarium”…super dope track…10/10!
Kev Beadle : Very Strong EP, will be all over this for definite.
Leo Zero : Loving Aquarium – lov-er-ly swing on that ! Classy lounge vibes will be whirling on the warm up sessions for sure.
Fred Everything : Nice, Aquarium is sounding very old Paper! Nice EP, very musical.
Red Rack’Em : This is great! I have always liked Daco’s work and this is no exception. Really jazzy and accomplished stuff – will be massively supporting this on the Smugglers Inn Radio Show and at gigs.
Nick Holder : The whole EP is fire!
Ralph Myerz : Something For You is beyond up my alley!!!! That sounded somehow wrong, however, the point is…REALLY like it!
Chris Coco : This is a happening EP of extreme gorgeousness.
Laurent Garnier : Beautifull spaced out disco release, will playlist on the radio.
Balihu : Very nice tunes!
Miguel Migs : Nice ep and production….diggin ‘Aquarium’ and ‘Something For You’. thanks…
Fred Deakin (Lemonjelly) : Just loving this, I am a Paperhead!
DJ Deep : VERY NICE!!
