Product Description
After 20 years in Everything But The Girl and 5 years in Lazy Dog, Ben Watt presents a new generation of deep and soulful house music on his hot new label Buzzin' Fly. The natural successor to the highly revered "Lazy Dog" series, this 11-track mixset features four unreleased Buzzin' Fly gems, a brand new exclusive Watt remix and six rare handpicked tracks. Highlights include Ben Watt's own new upcoming single "A Stronger Man" featuring Sananda Maitreya (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 re-work of the Soldiers Of Twilight classic, "Believe." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buzzing around, June 14, 2004

I have few heroes. Ben Watt is one of them. This man could survive any disaster. He was Everything But The Girl for a while. Lately he's been doing lazy Dog. You have heard the tracks. Buzzin' Fly is a nightclub where they throw down so deep house with a Brazilian touch. This CD starts out with Rodamaal "Musica Feliz" which uptempo bossanova. There is a lot of dub and remixes on here. There are some cool tracks by Ben Watt and Automagic and Soldiers of Twilight. Even Maitreya makes an appearance (that is what Terence Trent D'arby calls himself these days). Probably the most interesting song here is a remix by Ben Watt of the Minneapolis band Low. Their song "Tonight" is the epitome of slowcore and has a gospel feel. On this jamming remix it sounds like am Ibiza anthem. You couldn't even think it was the same band. I was thinking when I saw this, could this be Low? That is what great dance music does sometimes: it makes strange connections and even stranger affinities.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid & deep, January 30, 2006

This is a solid mix, but i would also have to argue that the second album is a bit better. But - get em both & decide for yourself, you won't be dissapointed.

What an incredible house mix. One of the hottest deep house collection I've ever heard. There's only one word to describe it, " Marvelous".
