Buzzin Fly'


Today I'm in a bit of a techy mood, and i thought i really should post something seeing as its been well over a week since any of us did a post.
I've mostly been listening to tracks from the latest Buzzin Fly compilation, '5 Golden Years in the Wilderness'. Which is well worth a purchase, i think its like nine pounds on amazon for three unmixed cds of pure housey goodness, with amazing tracks from Justin Martin, Ben Watt (The Label Boss of Buzzin' Fly), Radio Slave's epic remix of Mlle Caro and Franck Garcia's 'Dead Souls'. The Third cd is entitled 'Forward' and features lots of new stuff that the label is/will be releasing such as Gavin Herhily's 'Give Me A Funf' and Stimming's 'Kleine Nachtmusik'.
I never really heard much from the label until i bought this cd on a whim last week, with only the Charles Webster remix of Justin Martin's 'The Sad Piano' really being known to me (It featured on M.A.N.D.Y's At the Controls cd, which is still one of the greatest mix compilations i have ever heard). But the songs in this collection veer from deep, soulful house that works equally well in the club as it does when its just there in the background, to jacking bumpy stuff like Darkmountaingroup's 'Lose Control'.
The whole package is completed by the artwork and design of the compilation, which is beautifully presented like the vinyl 12"s that Buzzin' Fly put out. I think it was the artwork that made me decide to buy the compilation, because its kinda nice to have cd based stuff be as obviously cared for as the vinyl equivalent. Too many cd's just look like they were bashed together in five minutes, and it makes it that much easier to just download some of the tracks or whatever if it seems like no care has gone into the work.
Anyway this is getting to be a bit too much of a sales pitch for my liking but anyway, i would highly recommend picking up this compilation, or, if you prefer mixes to unmixed stuff, there are four previous Buzzin Fly compilations that are mixed and all are available on amazon or whatever.

I'm also going to post one of the tracks from the first cd which contains the older tracks, as i wouldn't want to post something that hasn't been released yet or anything. It's the track i mentioned previously, Charles Webster's remix of Justin Martin's 'The Sad Piano'
