THE FLYING HATS – The Blender / Hot Cakes – 7” – Vinyl [FEB 6]

7” – Limited Edition Black Vinyl.

ATA Records proudly present the latest release from The Flying Hats, Blender 7 Following the buzz surrounding their debut LP and the soft limited pre-release of Blender, anticipation for this single has been huge – and with good reason.

I’ve never heard something so perfectly combine funk and reggae and do it in a way that is dancefloor gold. – Monkeyboxing.

The Flying Hats – the Leeds quartet responsible for one of the standout albums of the year – return in phenomenal form with two previously unreleased cuts of the highest calibre. Both tracks strike hard somewhere between Kingston and New Orleans, as if The Meters were channelling Jackie Mittoo or Sound Dimension were jamming with Jimmy Smith.

Thick, funky-reggae organ leads the charge with killer breakbeats, bass pressure, and rhythm-section fire designed to light up any dancefloor worth its salt. Both sides are built for selectors, collectors and dance DJs alike.

Tracklist:

A: Blender

B: Hot Cakes
