Flashin' Like Gatsby is the 4 track #electroswing EP from ATOM SMITH, BURKEY and friends. It's the debut solo release by a former member of the Californian duo THE GENTLEMEN CALLERS OF LOS ANGELES and brings a jazzy west coast Swing Hop take on what has been, until now, a largely European phenomena... The new album BASS AGE BIG BAND (2020) is out now. Listen here: http://www.linkpagebuddy.com/page.php?id=o7YAozmX
The much anticipated debut album BASS AGE BIG BAND. Swing 2.0... 2020 style. It includes the singles FLASHIN' LIKE GATSBY, BRIGHT LIKE HOLLYWOOD, STRANGE WEATHER and the #electroswing hit COMIN' UP SWINGING to name just a few. Guests across the album include Burlesque Bombshells, West Coast Rappers, a Hollywood Big Band, Swing Dancers, Film-makers and so much more from his native LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA to NEW YORK, LONDON, BERLIN and beyond.
As one half of THE GENTLEMEN CALLERS, Atom developed and produced almost a dozen releases, including multiple projects for film, television, and performance (as you would expect of a Hollywood native), most notably the world renowned MUTAYTOR, a 20 piece traveling tribal electro circus. ATOM has also made the ubiquitous international DJ appearances from Glastonbury to his home-turf Burning Man Festival to Coachella among many others.
Flashin' Like Gatsby mashes up hipster-hop, ghetto funk and electro swing in a distinctive and uniquely Californian way in collaboration with L.A. rapper BURKEY of VOKAB KOMPANY fame. The video is shot in and around L.A. and Hollywood and Beverly Hills and features a gorgeous yellow 1937 convertible Packard.
