Where? started life in Mental Overdrive's Tromsø studio when Flash was visiting in 2019. Analogue and modular synths were broken out and record collections raided as they threw down and got to work. The result is a psychedelic head trip into the far reaches of jazz and Balearica that comes on like E2E4 if it had been made in Africa. Shuffling afrobeat, xylophone, field recordings and chants hypnotise as the bass locks in.

Manchester producer Daco delivers a mix of pure class with nods to MAW and 90s NYC tribal house. It is a percussion driven track of soulful deep beats as keys and samples ricochet. 

Cal Gibson and Mark Limb take things subterranean with their bass heavy BCB dubbed version. Spacey atmospherics delayed broken drums and arps over crisp production make it a go-to for heavy ambience and fans of The Orb.

Rune Lindbæk: "Thumbs aloft!"

Rich Hall (Super FU): "Love the organic percussion and synth vibes on this, beautiful production"

Doc L Junior: "Balearic voodoo-vibes. Lovely combo!!"

Olle Abstract: "Love it. Original mix is the one for me"

Where?

Mental Overdrive & Flash Atkins - Where? (BCB Extended Remix)

Paper has been pushing all things deep house and disco from the furthest reaches of the world via the good old North of England since the early Nineties.

The label has already featured a new series of EP's showcasing the best new dance music and future funk, house and disco from the world's finest producers.

We kicked off in 1994, leading the upsurge in popularity of UK house music within an underground scene previously dominated by a soundtrack from US cities like Chicago, Detroit and New York. Enhanced by a strong visual identity, as well as impeccable musical quality control PAPER was, and is one of the world’s most treasured record companies.

It continues to be funk-fuelled and bottom heavy!

The Boogie Brothers’ – Let’s Go feat Sato
Paper Recordings
When this bomb landed at Paper Towers their only option was to clear the decks and get it out asap. The Boogie Brothers’ ‘Let’s Go’ featuring Sato on vocals is the said track. Cooked up by Japan-based Julian Brennan and Cal Gibson (The Secret Soul Society) as a live disco jam that channels Arthur Russell, FK and Larry Levan. Sato from Japanese cosmic pop duo Viva Sherry was brought on board to provide vocals, and the result is a release that sounds like a modern disco classic. No remixes, no edits, just one stone-cold killer cut and with Danny Krivit already all over it.

New EP 'The Secret Revenge EP' out on Paper Wave Recordings May 2021

New LP out now on Slightly Transformed records. Review from Le Visiteur online Dec 20:

The Secret Soul Society are an act who get us very excited here at LV HQ whether it’s for their own classy releases or the label they co-run Scruffy Soul Recordings whose The Kyoto Connection EP we featured a few weeks back HERE. Their latest venture is a 15 song album packed full of outstanding original compositions, sample heavy gems and leftfield groove. 
Landing this coming Friday on Slightly Transformed as a Juno Download exclusive it’s an outstanding way to see out 2020 with the promise of a much better year ahead. 
Songs From The Soul Kitchen is an album that pulls many disparate genres together from Thievery Corporation dubbed out electronica through Jazz edged electronic licks reminiscent of Flying Lotus. It flows through tracks channeling Stevie Wonder and the lighter moments of Screamadelica era Andrew Weatherall straight into deep blues edged Beta Band cool and sample heavy disco moments. 
It full of distinct influences but equally as a whole its combined sound pallet sounds original and exciting. The samples are well chosen and engaging and work together perfectly as an piece, The Secret Soul Society has most definitely found their own vibe here and it’s one which it is easy to become fully involved in. 
Our premier today is Better Get To Know You, which is one of the more disco edged and dancefloor ready tracks on the album, It’s main vocal loop is a delight, easy going, fun and cool. It’s a track in the vein of the Stardust’s and Modjo’s of this world as far as the feelings that it elicits.
15 tracks of msuical bliss, make sure you check it in full. 

From Banbantonton June 2020:

Not so much edits, or remixes, as new music inspired by archival sources is Secret Soul Society’s E.P. on Paper Recordings. SSS being an extremely prolific new-ish venture from Neon Heights` Cal Gibson. There`s a quartet of tunes on offer, but I`ll pick just 2. Jeff & David loops reeds and rippling pianos while some sampled wise-head explains the way discotheques should work. The relationship between the DJ and the dancers, where it`s the dancers that define the dance. The more drum-driven Cantoma-esque Sunday Brown is a bongo-bashing heat-haze of keys in gliding glissando and muted vocal harmonies.

Superhero/ Sound Manipulator


Flash Atkins is a super hero who had his gravy days in the 80s saving the world with his ability to manipulate sound.  Unfortunately he's fallen on hard times and can be spotted in the less salubrious parts of London, Manchester and West Yorkshire often stoned or drunk on borrowed money and time.

To make ends meet he uses his special powers to remix and make deep disco music for Paper Recordings.

Let’s hope it gets him back on track.
