The Bionics are a studio band consisting of Crazy P's Danielle Moore and Tim Davies plus Paper Recordings' Ben Davis (Flash Atkins). This cover of Prince's I Feel For You fell through the cracks so it seemed like a good time to give it some air.

Flash Atkins – Campervan EP

1 Test One
2 Cherry Bounce
3 Test One (Flash Dub)
4 Cherry Bounce (Flash Dub)

Flash Atkins is a former Super Hero who lives in a Campervan in a field in deepest Yorkshire, maintaining an unhealthy addiction to drugs and booze.

Flash is actually the alter ego of Paper / The Bionics’ Ben Davis and he was created as a reaction against perma-tanned-indoors-sunglass-wearing-wanna-be-superstar DJs.

The Campervan EP is four tracks of floor rocking house music. First up, Test One has taken the original bleep classic as a starting point and given it a disco makeover. Starting off deep and percussive, it breaks to live bass and horns with plenty of analogue synths providing the electronics. Once the acid house piano comes in at the end, it’s dancefloor game over!

Cherry Bounce uses a cheeky sample to hold down a straight up take of garage house. With a bass line that nods to Farley & Heller and funked out Rhodes, it builds to a synth heavy drop before heading back in to the grooved keys.

The Test One dub strips things back to a simple nagging synth line for a big room take that has got Tribal Records running through it’s DNA. Big reverbs and heavy bass means this is simple and very effective.

Finally, the Cherry Bounce Dub goes tracky and hypnotic, riding out the original’s elements with the Rhodes getting filtered to change things up.

More quality from Flash Atkins, the man with no plan.

DJ Reactions

Rocky (X Press 2) - Cherry Bounce both versions doing it for me.

Jazzanova - Music should make people laugh too. Here is a perfect example.

Beats & Beyond - Still have the original Test One on 12", was my fave bleep track back then...cool reworks. Quality EP

Diskjokke - Nice and with an unexpected twist.

Sleazy McQueen - This is really cool. I'll certainly play test one and I'm sure Cherry Bounce will fit in my sets as well.

This Is Why We Dance - Quality forward-thinking house grooves, will support!

Ralph Myerz - Cherry Bounce is the one for me! VERY bouncy ride indeed!!!!!

Ryan Cavanagh (Slow Hands) - Solid release! Really like Test One a lot.

Billy Scurry - Ooofff!! that test one dub is a monster!!

DJ Nutritious – Phenomenal

Drop Out Orchestra - Test One is totally up our street (Charted Number 1)

Terry Farley - Love it!

Leftside Wobble - Such a clever spin on the Warp classic, the bleep disco scene starts here!

Tom Findlay (Groove Armada) - Test One dub is best for me.

Martin Brew - Ace EP! Loving the buzzy bass sounds on here. Meaty, beaty, big & bouncy.

Cosmic Boogie - Dub mix is grand.

The Lovely Jonjo - Love it. Doing warm up for Aeroplane tonight this Test One will do the job.

Q-Burns - Cherry Bounce is the one for me here. A cool track with some effective build moments + loads of shake. Into the musicality of "Test One" as well.

Stuart Patterson (Faith) - Love the way Test One turns into a different record.

Andy Ash - Test One is my favourite here. I like the way it changes throughout the track.

PROVIANT AUDIO - SLUTTEN PA ALT

2011-06-20T05:48:00.000-07:00

Proviant Audio - Slutten På Alt by Paper Recordings

‘Slutten På Alt’ is one of the highlights from Proviant Audio’s debut album ‘Real Loves Tastes Like This!’ and now gets the remix treatment.

The album is a rich mix of disco, funk, soul and house which has seen the 18 year old Norwegian receive broad critical acclaim as part of the new generation of Scandavian artists.

The release kicks off with the original (promo only) which is a journey through disco and ending up on a killer riff that sounds like it's been stolen from a lost classic (it hasn't, it's all played live).

Ralph Myerz ‘Norwegian Kiss’ turns in a broken slice of soulful tech-disco. His mix moves from a soul groove to a brilliant slow-mo breakdown before lifting back into a tight house groove.

Next up, Leftside Wobble is at the controls and an artist probably best known for his superb re-edits in recent times. For his version of ‘Slutten På Alt’ he picks up the funk and runs with it, creating a dubby disco mix with plenty of bounce and leftfield soul.

Finally Paper Recordings own Flash Atkins takes things in a deeper direction fusing the best of house, techno and disco in to a late night, bottom heavy floor filler.

Roberto Rodriguez : Absolutely loving the Ralph Myerz and Leftside Wobble mixes! Will get lots of spins!

Jim Baron (Crazy P / Ron Basejam) : Good selection of mixes, like 'em all but think Flash Atkins just shades it.

Francois Kevorkian : Both the Ralph Myerz and Leftside Wobble mixes are definitely playable.

Red Rack ‘Em : Ralph Myerz remix and original do it for me.

Tom Findlay (Groove Armada) : Love the Ralph Myerz mix

DJ Nutritious : Beautiful, unparalleled, classy dance here - artwork. All the remixes are essentials.

Joshua Iz : Fantastic...super summer is upon us.

Stuart Patterson (Faith) : I love this kid and this is a great set of mixes

Q Burns : Nifty, sprawling track here ... all the twists and turns definitely kept my interest. All a pleasure, but the Flash Atkins remix edges it for me.

Tim “Love” Lee : Love these guys!

Disco Outcasts (Manchester) : Jesus Christ!! The Flash Atkins Mix is a super bass heavy workout that will detonate massively! Also feeling Leftside Wobbles acid disco affair.

Benoit C : Cooooool EP

Neil Diablos : Realy like the Ralph Myers quirky remix but its the Flash Atkins mix doing it for me!

Yannick Labbé : Flash Atkins all the way!

Pete Herbert : Ralph Myerz! What a great remix... loved the RM stuff from years back.

James Teej : Great package, the Ralph Myerz is crazy, love the acid in the Leftside Wobble mix and Flash Atkins once again does it. Very dope.

X Press 2 : Love the Flash and Ralph mixes. Perfect show openers.

Severino Panzetta (Horsemeat Disco) : Ralph Meyerz is my fav remix Smart and groovy

Flash Atkins - The In Crowd by Flash Atkins

Flash Atkins - Flash's Theme by Flash Atkins

We Are Woodville and Paper Recordings’ very own loser super hero Flash Atkins returns to centre stage with another genre-busting EP and two brand new cuts that delve deep into the realms of nu disco.

The In Crowd is a chunky and chugging groove laden number based round a hefty Roxy Music sample. It's got some heavy synths, a big break and is a perfect peaktime roof raiser!

Flash’s Theme is a laid back and jazz infused disco affair. Ronny Jordan inspired guitar lines jam over a warm bed of live drums, full bass and keys to deliver a simply infectious and timeless record.

CHRIMBO Q & A feat. Flash Atkins, Ralph Myerz, Mat Playford, DATG, Proviant Audio & Kahuun for Paper Recordings

2010-12-15T03:27:00.000-08:00

Q: What were your Top three tracks of 2010?
FA: Isoul8 & Mark De Clive – Stop Bajon / Lonesome Echo Production – Spirit of Drums / Flash Atkins – Make Your Move.
RM : Ciscoe – Elevators / Black Room – XTC / Radioslave – I Don’t Need A Cure For This (Kenny Larkin Remix)
MP: Kosmischer – Ruckenwind / Lucien N Luciano – Behind My Soul
Yard Dawg – Mat Playford & Tim Deluxe
PA: I’m all stuck in the seventies, so it’s hard to say… Of course, some lovely music has been coming out of 2010 as well. The Samps’ self titled debut on Mexican Summer has been running a lot on my iPod, so I have to mention the tracks “Peppergood” and “Yellow Jacket”, which is pretty rude, sample-based disco/R&B dopeness. Erykah Badu’s album New Amerykah Part 2 has been one of my favorites this year as well. Tracks “Umm Hmm” produced by Madlib and “Love” produced by J Dilla in his late years.
K: Soulphiction – Deranged / Stac – Tip (Royce Wood Jnr Remix) / Seiji vs. Bembe Segue – Get it Together
DATG : All this time – Proviant Audio / Made for each other – Junkie XL / Something Good Can Work (Twelves remix) – Two door cinema club

Q: What are your plans for 2011?
FA: A Day In The Life film, mucho musica and an album dropping in the Autumn. Also getting very pissed daily, scabbing free drugs and trying to live in a house rather that a campervan, this winter’s been harsh!
RM: Finishing and releasing three albums! “Super Sonic Pulse” with guests like George Clinton and Snoop Dogg / “Outrun (Music4LateNightDrivez)” for night time experiences. and producing the new R.E.C. album “DiscoTech” with Eddie Da Bass and Carina Deejay. Then moving to California and make a lot of new music while drinking wine.
MP: Obsessive focus.
PA: Release my debut album on Paper!!!! Do a lot of remixes. produce a lot, arrange my tracks for the Royal Norwegian Navy Big Band (29 horns!) and do some amazing shows – including the by:Larm Festival in February…..and last but not least graduate from High School!!
K: Get my finger out and try to complete some of the 219 half-finished projects. There should at least be enough for my first ever album
DATG : Finally learn the bloody trumpet, get some more music released, get freaking married.

Q: What was your best Night-Time experience of 2010?
FA: It was in Amsterdam before I got mugged but that’s what happens when you go on the specialist unlicensed sex market.
RM: Watching the sunset at the beautiful Utkantfestival with my fiancée, and afterwards playing disco with Ciscoe all night long.
MP: Touring with We Love.
PA: Must be some of the summer festivals. All were super great but the best was probably the Slottsfjell Festival were I did a DJ-set along with bass, percussions and some horns in front on over 3000 funky people. My bassist claims he french-kissed about 6 girls in the audience during the show. After the show he stated “Mathias, my life started right now…”
K: All of the 8 HiFi Terapi nights at Cafe Opera in Bergen.
DATG : I’m going to hedge my bets and say it will take place on 18th Dec – Lindstrom, Tensnake, Crazy P, Ralph Lawson = Yes.

Q: Your worst Night-Time experience?
FA: Getting back to blighty after said incident.
RM: I’m not really into bad night- time experiences. I always keep it 100% good and hang out with the good people.
MP: Cant think of any bad vibes man.
PA: Nothing I would want the world to know, I guess. Often synonymous with too excessive consumption of liquids containing alcohol.
K: Drink expensive wine with Prime Minister Flash Atkins and solve all the problems together.
DATG : Hm, so few nights out these days, I make sure they’re all good!

Q: If you were leader of the world, what would you do next?
FA: Make all those lazy students get a proper job rather than bloody moaning all the time.
RM: 1. Hire Johan Galtung (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan_Galtung) as the chief of all the technical economical political stuff.
2. Then make sure Final (www.Final.no ) and Kinee (Kinee.no) get listened to a lot.
3. After all this hard work and tough decisions make January the annual month of chilling out and drinking wine.
4. Make a lot of money on Aspirin in February.
5. Spend that money on buying everybody a turntable and a stack of vinyl with music so beautiful that people would want to listen to it at least for an hour a day. An album on vinyl a day, keeps the doctor away.
6. Spend all the money saved on medical bills on good sound systems in clubs.
MP: Well where do you start? I’d defo try to sort them Somalian pirates.

The Superhero past his prime, Flash Atkins is back with a timeless release of deep slow burning soul that shows off his chops as a producer; and some heavyweight mixes to boot. Featuring Crazy P’s Danielle Moore at her sultry best, the original has live bass, drums, guitar, horns and guitar plus Rhodes and electronics all wrapped up in a killer 90BPM 4/4 groove.

Atjazz pitches things up for some classic deep house, which he does so well. It’s got an afro groove, shuffling percussion, gorgeous pads and keys that tease before the bass hits. He then brings out the song before taking out the bass and stripping it back down to make a hypnotic middle section reminiscent of Global Underground’s The Way. The bass and keys then re-emerge for the soulful end….ahhhhh.

Ashley Beedle, a man who’s had his sticky paws in some of the best dance music of the past twenty years takes the track in to psychedelic rock direction. He gives it a heavyweight drum groove and showcases Danielle’s vocals, using plenty of the original parts but adds some heavily effected guitars and percussion.

The Reprise strips the original mix of all its beats and let’s Danielle’s vocals soar over the Rhodes; and finally Atjazz and Ashley Beedle’s dub are included for those allergic to vocals!

ZUBB Chart – Entry Number 27 - Danielle Moore takes the lead over a simmering soul stew. Ashley Beedle turns up the heat.

Mathew Krysko : Paper's back with a happy chugger - nice one Flash.

Rub n Tug : Cooooool
