Buzzin’ Fly 3 is out now!!!!!!!!!
Half of multi-million selling duo Everything But The Girl and with a career spanning more than twenty-five years, from acclaimed early 80¹s folk- jazz solo recordings on London indie Cherry Red to a US Number 1 Missing with EBTG in 1995, Ben Watt's recent route to international DJ status came after his and partner Tracey Thorn's superb interpretations of electronica in the mid-nineties (Walking Wounded,Protectionwith Massive Attack,Temperamental.
In 1998 Ben established the seminal London Deep House Sunday club
and compilation series, Lazy Dog, with Jay Hannan. Lazy Dog folded at
the top after five untouchable years of sell-out shows around the world and compilation sales of 100,000. In April 03, Ben launched his new independent record label & club night, Buzzin' Fly - a new benchmark on the club scene with a cluster of revered underground hits including his own Lone Cat, 'A Stronger Man' and Pop A Cap In Yo Ass and his brace of best-selling Buzzin Fly mix CDs (Buzzin Fly Vol 1 & 2). The label won Best Breakthrough Label at the House Music Awards 2004.
Now a central figure on London's club scene he DJs regularly in the capital as well as all over Europe, Australia and North America with regular sell -out shows in NYC, San Francisco and LA. 2005 saw him tour extensively on the festival circuit (Good Vibrations, Homelands, Coachella, Ibiza, Love box Weekender, Electric Picnic) and he currently fronts Buzzin Flys two new London residencies monthly underground Sundays at Plastic People, and quarterly events at The End.
Join Habit to witness a DJ at the very top of his game, making a very rare UK appearance outside of London, in the intimate surroundings of the Cosmic Ballroom. This is not to be missed.
