Superstar DJ: Ben Watt
Fortunately Watt didn’t step away from the decks and instead created Buzzin’ Fly Records. He put out one collection last year and his second – a non-stop house mix combining flavors of R&B, soul, jazzy grooves, Middle East vocals and strings and spoken-word – is due March 21 in the UK and the next day in the States. This is a smile-filled, groove-laden set that all House heads need to own. In fact, before you buy this, check out Lazy Dog Vol. 1 – it is still one of my most cherished CDs.
Ben will be at the Winter Music Conference in Miami later this month and will hit a handful of cities across the U.S., including NY, SF, LA and of course, Coachella.
Here’s a track from Buzzin Fly Vol. 1, which features the former Terence Trent D’Arby. To hear more, check out buzzinfly.com.
