Cat / 023BUZZ: The San Fran Wonder returns to Buzzin Fly with a dirt fuelled growler of a record. Justin first came to prominence with his first ever record, 'The Sad Piano', on Buzzin' Fly back in 2003 after Ben Watt was given a demo in a dark Miami club. Since then he has recorded two more future-facing singles for the label and dropped jackin' leftfield cuts on Classic and Utensil. The seminal Charles Webster mix of 'The Sad Piano' has graced compilations by Ben Watt, Steve Bug, Circo Loco and MANDY, and Justin himself was nominated two years running as Best Newcomer at the House Music Awards. He is currently recording his debut album for Buzzin' Fly and 'The Fugitive' is a small taster of what we can expect...Awesome!!!! A totally unique sounding production done to devastating effect. Tough beats, grunts, grinds and heavy, heavy sub bass that finally launches into a gorgeous spring-loaded nu-Techno ride and will throw floors into a mad frenzy (believe). Flip for 'The Watrer Song' and we're treated to more of the same goodness. Killer!!!!!
Go Get it Yo!

Always a pleasure when a Buzzin Fly Record drops on the door mat of a morning!! Quality is always assured and the latest offering is no exception. I'm already a big fan of Rocco's production talents and hear he drills home an epic floor stomper in the form of Roots 4 Acid. Described as dirty and serene... most definately. Gathering huge support from all the majors with the likes of John Digweed snapping up an early exclusive for his acclaimed new mix compilation. Flip over for the dubby tech-out remix from man of the moment Francois Dubois (aka Funk D'void) and you have another top of the draw package!! As always immense!!!!!!

Phreakin Records artist/dj Ben Wijay brings it on for their latest release. The 'Wait EP' is the perfect showcase in how to keep things diverse and very interesting! The title track is a blistering fusion of house, disco, electro funk which will no doubt have floors in a state of mayhem when it drops. Already gathering huge support, Steve Lawler bagged it for his opening track on his new 'Lights Out 3' compilation. Flip over and we're treated to the shuffle delights of 'Library Fine' a perfectly carved unique groove showing just what the Wijay sound is all about. Finally there's the funky bass looped goodness of 'Dripping With Passion'. Awesome Wijay beats once more layered with subtle hooky vocals, sparing keys and sparkly percussion to complete a sure-fire winning package!
We Like!!!!

Recorded especially for Buzzin' Fly, 'Square Up' is a warm, fat cinematic slice of wide-screen deep electronic House for Freerange Records head man, Jamie 'Jimpster' Odell. Already featured on Ben Watt's acclaimed Buzzin' Fly Vol 3 album and picked out by many as one of the highlights, it arrives for the first time in its original form with a gorgeous bonus DJ tool reprise. Jamie delivers a quality late-night house groove of epic proportions! Crisp tight beats, warm pads and filtered stabs all fused together perfectly with the emotive refrained vocals. A blissful journey of house which is just simply amazing!!!!!
As a counterweight, BF calls on the skills of Los Angeles techno don, John Tejada for a brand new minimal and tender re-work locked on taut beats, blistered bassline and the original mix's plangent vocal refrain.
Best Record of 2006!!!!! |

Cat no: 019Buzz with the third instalment of Ben Watt’s critically acclaimed Buzzin’ Fly mix series just around the corner; this latest release drops a collection of exclusive remixes featured on vol 3 to wet all our appetites!
What’s your style? Deep? Soulful? Minimal? This has something for everyone! 3 of the deadliest names around get the call to take on remix duties, and do so to incredible effect.
Ame take Rodamaal’s previous hit ‘Insomnia’ and turn it into minimal dance floor crazed mayhem. Expect to see this around for a long, long time to come. The Nova Dream Sequence (King Britt) tackles Detroit’s Lephtee, and produces a beautifully deep ambient rework of ‘So far back’. Finally the deep Maestro that is Charles Webster brings a subtle re-edit of Manoo & Francois A’s remix of ‘Clear Sky’ written by Russian production duo, Kayot.
Sublime package all the way… well you would expect anything less!
Deep Down 10/10

Nevermind the bollox that passes for a dance compilation these days and get yourself a copy of Kinky Sweet's 'Back Room Vol.1'. All the dad housers and anyone else for that matter who can appreciate quality house music will find something to get their ear lobes twitching here. House regulars like Chris Brann, H Foundation, King Britt, Rhythm Slaves, The Rurals, Crazy P & Weekender are all in top form as well as others that might not be instantly recognisable to the occasional back room dabbler. There's some seriously cool shit on the speakers in this back room and some of my favourites include King Britt's sexy mix of H Foundation's 'Tonight' - it's even called his sexy mix too :). There's a Dub of 'The Light you will see' by the Rhythm Slaves by flavour of the moment Trentmöller as well as the Prince-tastically inspired Swag remix of Sean Dimitri's 'So Hot'. There's 22 tracks sprawled over two CD's and the mixing is excellently unobtrusive at all times thanks to Nic Conef of Mettle Music fame. No super star DJ tom foolery here thankfully - just great music!

With the summer looming around the corner it's time to track down the soundtrack to accompany those lazy days on the beach or as fate would have it - for driving to and from work while we dreaming of the beech. Either way music is always a good way to get the summer vibe going and here Mettle Music do just that with some lazy, blissed-out anthems for you to melt away with. Featuring tracks by Nigel Hayes, Jersey Street, Square One, The Halftones and the Mettle Music Collective among others the chill factor has been turned up to the max. If you like chilled jazzy riffs, mellow chords & sweet, laid-back vocals then look no further. Highlights include Jersey Street's uplifting 'Nightingale', the super-smooth deep house on 'When Lights are Low' by Square One and the irresistible ghetto-swagger of The Halftones's oddly titled 'Cut My Throat'. All-in-all this is a very solid, proper music package that deserves your attention right now, even if the sun's not shining!

Ben Watt's Buzzin Fly unveils yet another newcomer, this time young first-time Detroit producer Lephtee. Born in Hamtramck, Michigan against a formidable home-town backdrop of pioneering machine tooled electronic soul, he has created a mini minimalistic Motor City masterpiece - 'So Far Back'.
On first hearing this record i was immediately drawn to its complete individuality from any record i've listen to over the past few months. The confict of beautiful piano with raw distorted guitars leads for a truly unique ride and provide the template for Berlin maestro Phonique's dancefloor killer re-work. This is an object lesson in restraint dancefloor pressure, all woozy with fat sub-bass and spectal voices. If you loved Charles Webster's seminal remix of Justin Martin's 'The Sad Piano' from a couple of years ago, you're gonna dig this!
Take note people, this WILL be in your bag for a long, long time to come!
Deep Down 10/10

Cat no:BUZZ 017 The most consistant label in the industry at the moment bring it to the people once again in impeccable fashion! This latest hot outting from Dark Mountain Group (fronted by Rodamaal's Alex S and partner Luis Leite) is as brilliant as it is deadly. Already described as MAW meets Acid, do your upmost to find yourself a copy and you'll see why!
This shit is awesome! Best record of 2006 so far!

Del Costa & Pedro Goya kick off proceedings with a sweet, minimal old school romp, packed with just the right amount of funky bleeps and beats and spoken word samples. Jacob's 'Green Flash' is more than slightly reminiscent of that Green Velvet track from years back, while Vernon & DaCosta's 'Uptown Girls' takes a smoother approach with an instant appeal that should get your head nodding right off the bat. Last but not least is Natasza & Oscarsix with a funky, bumpy number called 'From The Oldschool' and as the title suggests this is in a good-old-days house style and all the better for it. All in all a very sweet package with something for everyone. |
