Catching Flies (born George King, 1991) is an English musician, DJ and record producer from London, England.
His sound has been described as sitting on the "smooth, mellow side of electronic music" somewhere "between Flying Lotus and Bonobo" and "contains shades of everything from hip hop to house, from soul to jazz.
Wolf's track "Life Size Ghosts" began to get hundreds of thousands of hits on YouTube[3] and received praise from scores of music blogs.
[6][7] He has since received radio support from Gilles Peterson, Annie Mac, Mary Anne Hobbes, Lauren Laverne, and Huw Stephens.
[14] This was followed by "Satisfied" in November 2018, ‘an intoxicating slice of dance music that gets a big boost from euphoric, gospel-y vocal samples’ (Bandcamp – New & Notable releases).
[18] Future Music called it ‘a brilliantly eclectic record… a moving journey that will last long in the memory.’[19] Earmilk gave the album 8.5/10 stars and dubbed it ‘A soundtrack to summertime…'[20] and Clash (magazine) summarised: ‘Killer beats, a dreamy, atmospheric sound, and artfully orchestrated introspection.’ [21] Catching Flies released 'Silver Linings Remixed' on 17 April 2020.
He appeared on Mary Anne Hobbs' BBC Radio 6 Music show on 17 April 2020 to speak about the release.
