Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Ben Watt (of Everything But The Girl fame) delivers another superb selection of melodic and lush house on Buzzin’ Fly Volume 2: Replenishing Music For The Modern Soul. Though the slight detour through electro halfway through is unexpected, it actually works really well, and doesn’t come across as a trendy afterthought or worse. The sequel to 2004’s deep house compendium Buzzin' Fly Volume One may not be as invigorating and absolutely essential as his Lazy Dog albums, it’s also not as repetitive. Consider this concept album either a solid party starter or as solid grist for your own mixes. Very few of these artists (some of them on Watt’s label) are established yet, so if you’re looking for fresh house that’s not from the Akufen school--solid groovy, Afro-inflected four on the floor stuff--look no further. --Mike McGonigal

Product Description

Second volume in Ben Watt's groundbreaking "Buzzin' Fly" series is a concept DJ mixset, fusing street poetics with forward-thinking electro-infused deep house. Available as a special gatefold digipak CD.

I know there is at least one other person out there like me. You bought an amazing house compilation years ago (Cafe Del Mar: Chill House Vol 1) that got you hooked on the sound of downtempo, lounge, and house and you've been buying compilations for years hoping that you'd find another one as good as that first taste but all of them have fallen flat. Well, thanks to the ever so talented Mr. Ben Watt I have found my own personal Holy Grail. Buzzin' Fly 2 is simply superb and transcends description. Every second of this CD oozes with smooth house beats that just melt your soul. As soon as this CD hit my player I punched repeat and let it spin three times in a row. Amazing. HIGHLY recommended to any fan of smooth chill house music, to fans of the later dance oriented Everything But the Girl material, to fans of Ben's Lazy Dog series, and anyone that was ever disappointed by a house music compilation with the word "Ibiza" on it. Ben Watt has an ear for this genre like no other. This is perfection.

This is a to-die-for album...absolutely perfect. And I'll bet you can't guess what it's best for...that's right...when you're alone with your honey on a Saturday night...want the ambience...the beat...the perfect beat...the coolest, sexiest lyrics...wow...I cannot stop listening since I got this album two months ago. Have had many "successful" moments in its thrall....love to Ben Watt. I will try others and look forward to more...
