"Ultra Flava" is a house song by British duo Heller and Farley Project (Pete Heller and Terry Farley). After the wide renown with their remix of Ultra Naté's "How Long" in 1994 and M People's "Open Your Heart" in 1995, they released it as a single in 1996. It is a slightly re-worked version of their mix of "How Long", without Naté's vocals. They entitled it "Ultra Flava" as a nod to the track's origins.^[2] It was a huge club hit and peaked at number 22 on the UK Singles Chart,^[3] while reaching number-one on the UK Dance Singles Chart. In the US, it peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. A black-and-white music video was also produced to promote the single.

"It's looking very good. Of all the records we've done, this is the most commercial, although I don't think it's that representative of what we do in general."

—Terry Farley talking to Music Week about the song.^[4]
