Birdsong vinyl

Ben Watt's Buzzin' Fly is without doubt one of the most successful UK labels when it comes to pleasing both fans and DJs. Their output flies off the shelves and into record bags, garnering respect from the industry while their label nights pull in heavy headliners and big crowds. The deep house label shies away from trends and focuses on elegant, refined and pounding records; their latest, "Birdsong" from Abyss, falls smack bang into that realm. Warm beats and crisp shakers kick off "Birdsong", making it danceable and percussive. But it's the downtempo atmospherics and spaces in between the groove that make it stand out as momentary silences are dropped, beats removed and acoustic piano arrangements and breathy vocal snippets left to shine. Snoretex's remix sees some subtle but intriguing changes to the arrangement, whilst on the flip Flowers And Sea Creatures strip things down to ambience, fusing electronic blips and scratches in the most bewitching manner.
