Flash Atkins - Make Your Move
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!

Infectious tempting.. totally suited to the set's of Kruder & Dorfmeister.. Giles Peterson may even feature those warm undertones and smooth keys. Remixs galore Atjazz turns in the mix that stays cloest to deep house. His trademark sumptious layer of sound always.. snuggle up to you and make you get down.... Production levels unbeatable...I'll be featuring that in my mixes for the month for sure... Next a skanky chopped up remix with beats jagged with a 70's funk edge Asley Beedle does his Afrech funk magic ... smooth calm and collective .. wicked beats .. Paper defiantly show their pedigree.. This release is pure class'
