Catching Flies - real name George King - returns with his new single ‘GLY,’ a slice of uplifting, sophisticated dance music that sits in the sweet spot between dancefloor and headphones. It’s highly textured, deeply melodic and effortlessly marries live instrumentation (guitars, harps, a string quartet) with warm electronic beats. A remix package of the single will follow in May 2021 with remixes from British dance-pop stalwarts Hot Chip and Ninja Tune’s DJ Boring.

‘GLY’ marks Catching Flies’ first artist release since his critically acclaimed 2019 debut album ‘Silver Linings.’ Future Music 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 mentioned it’s “exceptional production”. Other press coverage for the album included The Guardian, Complex, Nowness, i-D Magazine, Dazed & Confused, Electronic Sound and The Line of Best Fit. Artist support for ‘Silver Linings’ came from the likes of Bonobo, Jungle, Loyle Carner, George Fitzgerald and Lane 8. He toured the album performing sold out headline Live shows throughout the UK, Europe, Asia and North America, as well as DJ shows at Bonobo’s ‘OUTLIER’ event in the US. Catching Flies also does soundtrack work for film and video games, and has recently been nominated for a BAFTA.

Whilst working on the tracks for this EP I often imagined them going in many musical directions. 'Together' always felt as though it could be a big club track with a few tweaks in the arrangement so I did exactly that. At 8 minutes long it takes a little patience, but hopefully the track will take you on a little journey that'll have you shuffling down the street.

Blood In The Snow (Tibi Dabo Remix)

Released in 2010 on DJ Lucca's Sound of Acapulco label as part of the 5 Stars EP, "It Must Be Time" by Gabriel Ben quickly became a crowd favorite, standing out as a track with all the right elements to move the dancefloor. From its driving, relentless beat to its euphoric, uplifting energy, this track is a perfect example of how to blend peak-time techno and house grooves into an undeniable anthem.

The track kicks off with a deep, propulsive bassline that locks you in instantly, creating a groove that’s impossible to ignore. The crisp percussion and perfectly placed hi-hats keep things tight and rolling forward, building momentum with every bar. But it’s the way "It Must Be Time" layers in its melodic elements that really sets it apart. The soaring, infectious synths rise up throughout the track, weaving a sense of urgency and euphoria that perfectly complements the driving rhythm.

The track's breakdowns offer just the right amount of space, teasing with atmospheric pads and subtle tension before dropping back into the peak-time groove. The energy never dips; instead, it grows, making it a perfect tool for keeping the dancefloor in motion and ensuring the crowd stays hooked from start to finish. "It Must Be Time" doesn’t need to be flashy—it’s all about the groove, the melody, and the perfect balance of tension and release.

A standout on the 5 Stars EP, "It Must Be Time" proved to be a favorite among DJs and dancers alike, with its ability to move bodies and elevate the energy in any setting. With its seamless blend of deep tech house rhythms and anthemic, dancefloor-friendly melodies, Gabriel Ben crafted a track that was both sophisticated and irresistible—just the kind of tune that would keep the party going all night long.
