Catching Flies is an artist whose work has drawn the attention of both crowds and critics, receiving praise from major industry players such as Annie Mac and Gilles Peterson. His music gives form to sensations of warmth and majesty, touching on an array of genres including jazz, soul and trip-hop. Catching Flies reputation advanced through live performance alongside acts including Little Dragon and Four Tet. Naturally, expectations were high for his first album ‘Silver Linings’ which finally debuted in early 2019.

Released to positive reception, ‘Silver Linings’ also attracted efforts from other artists to influence and reimagine each of the tracks contained on the LP. Now almost a year on, Catching Flies has collected and arranged exceptional new versions of his original work, announcing ‘Silver Linings Remixed’.

The 14 track EP includes contributions from various creators including DJ Seinfeld and Soundbwoy Killah, each of whom has managed to create something new while retaining the soul each track was first built around.

Our featured remix comes from German duo Andhim; hip-hop induced, sample incorporating, self-styled purveyors of ‘Super House’. The pair has transmuted the downtempo and subtly beautiful ‘Opals’ into a deep house track, resetting the soft mellow melodies into a warped reflection.

Multi instrumentalist, producer and DJ, Catching Flies, aka George King, has achieved a great deal in his musical career already. His tunes have received millions of hits and listens, he's got support from the UK's top DJs and taste makers and he's toured the world over supporting some of the biggest DJs and artists.

The one thing that has evaded him thus far is that illusive first full length album. However as 2018 inches to a close, Catching Flies is set to remedy that. With his album release on the horizon, Flies drops a tantalizing teaser in our above track, 'New Gods', featuring a pair of similarly rising stars, collaborating with singer Oscar Jerome and rapper Jay Prince.

Catching Flies, who usually operates alone, blending through the genres of jazz, soul, hip-hop, house, electronica and more delivers a tightly produced track in 'New Gods'. The trio each have ample time to shine as Jay Prince raps about life eternal, Oscar Jerome provides a soulful backdrop, all the while Flies sounds linger, guiding the listener from laid back electronica beats building to a crescendo of jazzy guitar/bass expressions.

The whole thing evolves over a mere 3 minutes time and leaves you longing for more. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait a bit longer before his album drops, fortunately though, for those new to Catching Flies, like myself, our man George has more than an ample supply of music available online to satisfy that longing. Catching Flies has previously released an EP, another mini EP and loads of highly acclaimed DJ sets (such as the ‘On Deck’ Thump Mix) and mixes (such as his Solid Steel Radio Mix on Ninja Tune). He even has a monthly radio show on London based Radio station Radar Radio.
