Paper Recordings main man Ben Davis continues to offer up excellent music as Flash Atkins, this time in cahoots with an 'All Stars' ensemble featuring Congolese singer Felix Nhindu, Mancunian producer Daco (real name David Connally), and Haggis Horns members Atholl Ransome and Malcolm Strachan. 'Sanza Mibale Ya Bo Pemi' is a fine and wholehearted tribute to Afro-disco and Afro-funk propelled forwards by rubbery bass, live drums, hearty horns and Nhiundu's fine lead vocals. Davis ramps up the rhythm and bass on his own dub disco style 'Flash Dub', before Bosq takes over on side B. His 'Boogie Bounce' version brilliantly re-imagines the track as a kind of Afro-Latin fusion beast - all hot-stepping beats, Afro-funk bass and guitars, Cuban percussion and salsa pianos. He opts for a more polyrhythmic feel on the accompanying 'Boogie Bounce Dub'. A superb package.
