Collaborators
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, often stoned or drunk on borrowed money.
To make ends meet he uses his special powers to remix and make deep tech-soul tracks for We Are Woodville. A single is due out in the Autumn and an album in 2009 with appearances from Bajka (Bonobo), Isobel Heyworth, Danielle Moore (Crazy P) and Caspa Codina (StopStart Records).
Let's hope it gets him back on track.
Get yourselves signed up to his BLOG here - here's the first blast - oh poor old Flash:
"Christ it's not easy. First of all I've lost my flat so am living out of a friends Camper Van stationed on bricks in a snooker club's car park in Bethnal Green...and the fridge is bust. It's not easy sneaking in to places in my get-up for a shower and I can't keep a pint of milk for more than a day without it turning in to cottage cheese.
Then I was walking my trusty steed and friend, Dot the other day in Hackney minding my own. Out of nowhere comes the Staffy from hell, clamps it's jaws round Dot's throat and starts shaking her in the death grip. I get there before it's numpty owner, kick it but it's not giving in so get down on my knees and try to strangle it. That doesn't work either so I try to prise it's jaws apart then the idiot scally dog's master arrives and hauls it off. Result - me nearly getting my face panned off as I told him what for, Dot shaken and stirred after being strangulated, and some joint hurt pride.
I used to be able to climb up f****king walls and now I can't even break up a f*****ing dog fight. I can't even afford to replace my tights that have now got holes in the knees.
This can't go on.....
