Beats and Pieces

Catching Flies – aka multi-instrumentalist, producer and DJ George King - is known for his unique take on soulful and melodic electronic music. His music is a bass heavy yet melodic mesh of broody electronics and intricate rhythms, containing shades of everything from hip-hop to house, from soul to jazz. He has released music on Ninja Tune, Anjunadeep and Cercle, as well as his own label Indigo Soul. 2024 highlights include an Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1 and a Live Performance video with a String Quartet for Anjunadeep. He also recorded a live performance video of 'Orsay' at the iconic Musee d'Orsay in Paris. He has collaborated with and been remixed by some of the biggest names in Electronic music including Sofia Kourtesis, Hot Chip, Pretty Girl and DJ Seinfeld. Artist support for Catching Flies' music has come far and wide - from Diplo, Bonobo and Keinemusik, to Jungle, Nils Frahm and Loyle Carner… to name a few.

This is perhaps a testament to his effortless versatility and skill as a Producer. You never really know where he will go next, but the results are always spectacular. Catching Flies debut album 'Silver Linings' contained shades of everything from hip-hop to house, from soul to jazz, and was hailed as 'a soundtrack to Summertime' by the 405 - and was awarded album of the month by Future Music who described it as 'a brilliantly eclectic record… a moving journey that will last long in the memory.' Clash Magazine praised the LP's 'killer beats' and 'artfully orchestrated introspection,' whilst London In Stereo praised it's 'exceptional production.'
