Label - Buzzin Fly

Label Bio - Buzzin Fly
Buzzin' Fly Records was launched in April 2003 by label boss Ben Watts. Ben is one half of the brilliant Everything But The Girl with Tracey Thorn, and the man responsible for the legendary Lazy Dog parties (with partner Jay Hannah) that ran on Sunday’s at the Notting Hill Arts Club in London .
Buzzin Fly’s debut release, Watt's “Lone Cat (Holding On)” was bootlegged from one of only 50 early white labels, and since it's commercial release has gone on to sell approaching 10,000 copies in the UK (12 inch vinyl only). Autumn 2003 saw the serene electro-tribalism of “Do You Feel?”by New York duo Automagic featuring Washington D.C. diva Aswan, whose live performances at Buzzin' Fly events in London and New York have brought the house down.
Year-round DJ support has come from a diverse range of heavyweights - not only soulful players such as Miguel Migs and Marques Wyatt but switched on by the label’s stronger flavors, tougher DJs such as Ian Pooley, Layo, Halo and Hipp-e and Roger Sanchez.
After a series of special summer 2003 launch parties in London and North America, Buzzin' Fly’s regular party Neighbourhood grew into a bit of a London institution attracting up to 600 people on any given Sunday. The night revolved around Watt's own sets, introduces new talent from the label roster (Rodamaal’s DJ Rocco is a co-resident), as well as guest appearances from the likes of Charles Webster and King Britt.
Having split with Neighbourhood towards the end of 2005, Buzzin’ Fly have moved their night to London superclub The End, where they have just enjoyed a stellar New Years Eve party welcoming in 2006.
The label has really evolved over the last 2 years, setting the pace for a new direction in deep tender-tough house of the highest quality.
Highlights include Ben Watt's own brand new Buzzin' Fly single, “A Stronger Man” featuring Sananda Maitreya (previously known as Terence Trent D'Arby); Charles Webster's exclusive new remix of Justin Martin's 2003 hit for Buzzin' Fly “The Sad Piano”; Sandy Rivera's searing original mix of Cue's overlooked diamond “Dreaming Of You”; and Martin Solveig's absorbing dub re-work of the Soldiers Of Twilight classic, “Believe."
