What if Lipps Inc's enigmatic Funkytown was none other than France's pink city of Toulouse?
This is the hypothesis on which the most eminent musicologists agree after having listened, and above all danced to Keep Going - the single from Flakes first EP.
With their frosty name and tropical music, it's no wonder that the windows get steamy and the dancers lose control. Flakes fan the disco-funk-popflames of Parcels, Jamiroquai, Phoenix and DaftPunk (vintage year 2013 Random Access Memories), giving us that Good-Times-by-Chic-esque bass riff.
Ode to weightlessness and the multiple pleasures of perspiration, their 5-track EP which will be released in Novermber was recorded under the patronage of Daniel Yvinec who's collaborated with Maceo Parker, Camille, and Salif Keita.
And that my friends, is anything but Flake news.
