BUZZIN' FLY ...
Ben is about to launch his new independent record label, Buzzin' Fly Records.
The first release will be his own track, Lone Cat, which tore up many dancefloors on limited promo a couple of months back.
The release will also feature new remixes from Los Angeles' super-hot Groove Junkies, currently riding high with their Hype Chart smash, Deeper. New promos will circulate very soon, with a commercial release mid-April.
ONE STARRY NIGHT
Ben and Jay also now play as separate monthly residents at a new Saturday night called One Starry Night at intimate west London bar-club, Cherry Jam.

Biography
Ben Watt is one half of Everything But The Girl, whose music has become increasingly informed by house and breakbeat culture since 1994 (notably Missing, Walking Wounded and the Massive Attack collaboration, Protection).
His DJ work began in 1996. He made his first appearance at James Lavelle's Dusted and then took over from Howie B (co-producer on Walking Wounded) as a resident DJ-in-rotation at West London's chilled Sunday Club @ Paradise, spinning fortnightly freestyle sets ofjazzy drum n bass and deep house.
He took the formula round the world on various legs of EBTG's Walking Wounded World Tour, playing nightly DJ sets to open their show, often adding free late-night aftershow slots at numerous Stateside clubs (incl. Giant Step in NYC, Science in Santa Monica, Metro in Chicago). In August 1997 he took his own drum n bass style into a well-received London residency at Bar Rumba's monthly Friday breakbeat night, Transition. Lazy Dog has given his love of deep house a fresh platform, and spawned many of the ideas on EBTG's 1999 album, Temperamental. More recently he has turned in a series of acclaimed house remixes inspired by Lazy Dog - in particular, Sade's By Your Side (US Billboard Dance Chart No. 2, UK Cool Cuts No. 4, DJ Hype Chart No. 8, 7 Magazine Single Of The Week), Sunshine Anderson's Heard It All Before (US Billboard Dance Chart No. 11, UK Buzz Chart No. 8, 7 Magazine Essential House Tune), Maxwell's Lifetime (US Billboard Dance Sales Chart No. 1, UK Hype Chart No 13) and Me'shell Ndegeocello's Earth (US Billboard Dance Sales Chart No. 14, Muzik 5/5). The success of Lazy Dog has also led to appearances as guest mixer on BBC Radio 1's Danny Rampling Show and Mary Anne Hobbs' Breezeblock, as well as headline DJ slots with Jay all over North America and Europe.
---------------------
Jay Hannan (above) grew up in Cambridge and was part of the Cambridge graff writing scene and Tonka Sound System crew during the 1980's. In 1991 he was taken on at London's premier independent dance music shop, Blackmarket Records as a house music specialist, before being promoted to shop manager and chief buyer, where he influenced A&R dance music policy at various London record labels, and forged partnerships with many seminal deep house labels such as Soulfuric, Wave, Guidance and Large. From 1991-96 he was also a resident DJ at London clubs Spice and Spirit, span regulars sets for leading dance radio station Kiss FM and toured in Northern Italy appearing most notably at Kama Kama (Pisa) and Hacienda (Genoa). In 1998 he left Blackmarket to concentrate on setting up Lazy Dog with Ben, and for a time ran UK promotion for Guidance Recordings and Large. In 1999 he opened for Everything But The Girl on their UK Tour, and as his reputation has grown with Lazy Dog, his DJ activities have taken him on solo slots to Spain, Holland, Norway, Israel and Brazil. As a DJ duo, he and Ben have toured extensively in Europe and North America. In February 2002 Jay took part in a collaboration between the Notting Hill Arts Club (home of Lazy Dog) and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The event was an art/music interaction and showcased music installations and live performance from several nights associated with the Notting Hill Arts Cub. The event, entitled Dislocation, featured a left-field pre-recorded site-specific sound intervention from Jay in the sculpture gallery. Based around loops of spoken word, it was an alternative side to the Jay Hannan we know and love as deep house guru.

"... more snow forecast this weekend. it was like spring on monday. what's going on? the north american release of 'like the deserts miss the rain' on rhino is still on track for the first week of march. and there will definitely be a limited edition bonus CD issued with the first run. the bonus tracks will be the RARITIES gun cupboard love, alfie, take me (clifton mix) and pigeons in the attic room. it took a while to find the original master tapes of one or two! we have a re-designed message board for 2003 and it is much fresher and interactive. ben's club, cherry jam, is one year old in februrary. time flies. i know many of you still hang onto the hope of a new ebtg album soon, but as i have said before, this is unlikely at the moment. i am completely out of the music business at the moment, and have turned down many offers to sing for several projects. there will no tours in the foreseeable future either. however, ben is working on a new side project, a new album possibly, with other performers. i may well contribute in part to the project. ben is also immersed in his djing and to my mind, has turned out some of the best productions he has ever done lately - especially the remix for meshell ndegeocello last year... for more news and stuff come in. stay true, stay deep. this website was last updated at 09:16 GMT on the 29 Jan 2003 ...

LAST UPDATE
14:41 GMT 09 Mar 2002
UPCOMING NIGHTS
Mar 16, 30 and every two weeks thereafter - Lazy Dog's spiritual home is west London's Notting Hill Arts Club, where Ben Watt and Jay Hannan spin the sounds that keep Sunday in the city special. Barring hurricane, flood or act of God, they both spin every night. Remember, the club is small and is currently full by 5pm and the dancefloor rocking by 6pm. If you want to ensure getting in, arrive before 2.30pm (seriously!) or expect queues. To catch Lazy Dog elsewhere, check out the latest Tour Dates.
TERRI WALKER REMIX
Ben's new remix for Def Soul songstress, Terri Walker, was finally released in mid-February after exceptional DJ feedback and high chart placings. A classy Kascade mix is also available. Terri's debut album is also out now.
JAY'S NEW VENTURE
Jay is currently in talks with an independent London label to front a new deep house mix compilation series for 2003. Jay is keen to bring to the fore the guests who have played for Lazy Dog and One Starry Night at Cherry Jam. In addition to a mix of his own from his own newly built studio, Jay is looking to present compilations from amongst others, Ray Roc, Sir Piers (Fusion Groove Orchestra) and Marques Wyatt.
LAZY DOG IN MIAMI
WMC 2003 HEADLINE SHOW CONFIRMED
The next big event for Lazy Dog will be a headline show at the Miami Winter Music Conference on March 20. The venue is Rain, 323 23rd St. Times: 10:00 PM - 5:00 AM. Tickets: $10. Expect a four hour set from Ben and Jay. Last year they rocked Nikki Beach Club (above) at the Naked Music Party.
