'I hired an Airbnb in Ojai after a tour of the US West Coast and made a Beat Tape. It's an ode to the 90's/2000's Downtempo Beats scene I grew up listening to.' CF's BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix aired in November 2024. Artist support from Bonobo, Maribou State, HNNY, Parra for Cuva. Previous support from Billboard, The Guardian, iD Magazine, Nowness, Diplo, Jungle, Loyle Carner & Nils Frahm.

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.
