Label boss Ben Davis has pulled on tights and cape once again to launch his debut LP for Paper "The Life and Times of Flash Atkins" and it's a belter. The first singe "Levenshulme Orphanage For Boys" had love from types such as Francois Kervorkian, Peter Kruder and Ivan Smagghe as well as glowing reviews in Mixmag and DJ Mag and the long-player has more of the same.

The tracks cover an array of musical styles from house to disco, chug funk to bass, bangers and afro rhythms to 80s influenced cosmic beats. As well as dynamic production and a keen sense of groove, the whole album is based on a short story of the life of Flash that will be published as a comic at the same time. The track and chapter titles are one and the same to provide a sensory listening experience that tells a tale reflecting the mood of the story as well as blowing up dance floors with its sonic superpowers

Says Flash of his creation. I wanted to create an album that drew inspiration from my 20 years making music
