United Disco Organisation

ATA proudly presents it's first foray into the world of disco with ''United Disco Organisation's ''Send The Rain / Funky Thing''. Over 2 sprawling tracks they take a musical journey back to the dawn of early disco in New York in the mid-1970s, avoiding the common tropes of more mainstream fare. United Disco Organisation lay a solidly familiar 4-to-the-floor foundation with the rhythm section allowing flute, vibes and vocals to drift over the top offering a reminder of the music's Jazz roots, just as they did back in the day before disco became a production line and mass-marketed music genre that often lost it's individuality.

United Disco Organisation is a collaboration between ATA Records co-founder and multi-instrumentalist Neil Innes and fellow multi-instrumentalist Chris Dawkins (Nightmares On Wax, Jimi Tenor, David Holmes), longtime friends and well known faces on the Leeds music scene for over two decades. The project is an ongoing exploration into early disco, that period from 1974-1976 when soul and funk plus a touch of jazz were transforming into a new sound and beat that would very quickly conquer dance floors across the world. And still does today.
