We luv George Lenton
Now any readers who have been with us for a while now will remember how much we love George Lenton. If you dont know why then you havent listened to his 1xtra mini-mix enough obviously!
Now in the couple months that we havent mentioned him he has still be churning out some absolute bangers so enjoy the selection below.
Some old skool Dizzee Rascal given a Lenton make over
I luv you (George Lenton remix) by georgelenton
Bit of a housey flex from GL this time, but with a signature drop that kills the clubs
I know, I know, its a Katy Perry tune but wait for the drop and tell me you dont get the screwface on
Another example of Lentons amazingly tight production, getting some sounds that other producers cant get anywhere near at the moment
And finally a clip of a real George Lenton classic, go buy this tune its EPIC
Faithless
So not sure how many of you have heard the new Faithless album 'The Dance'. Faithless were a band that really hit the spot when I was younger, their trance-house anthems were perfectly accompanied by Maxi Jazz's unique vocals.
When the new album landed on my desk a few months back I was pretty excited, really wanted to hear what the legends were up to now, specially as they were no longer signed to a major label and had some freedom.
What I found was a mixed album, some really great and forward thinking tracks followed by some more standard and obvious offerings. But we wont focus on the negatives and below is my favorite track off the album.....
Comin' Around, featuring vocals from Dougy from The Temper Trap, is the kind of tune that made me fall in love with Faithless all those year ago, flowing minimal basslines with atmospheric pads and vocals
As a little bonus here's a mashup mini-mix of the latest Faithless album by Sister Bliss

Quick Post - Flux Pavillion
So here's another little quick post for ya....We had Flux Pavillion down at SOME a few weeks ago and they tore it up, we thought we'd post up one of their latest remixes that I cant get enough of.... Enjoy
DJ Fresh - Gold Dust (Flux Pavillion Remix) by Ministry of Sound
Local Natives
Not the kind of band we normally feature on Sly Fly but I have to admit that LA-based Local Natives are one of my favourite bands around at the moment. Any of you who are looking for a perfect summer album check out 'Gorilla Manor' by LN, you will not be disappointed.A band thats not scared of the remix they have put stems from their tracks up on their website so there are a few cool mixes flying around.
Check out this really nice and chilled dub/2step mix by DYM
Local Natives - Who Knows Who Cares (DYM Remix) by Damn You Mongolians
Local Natives - Who Knows Who Cares (DYM Remix) by Damn You Mongolians
One of the official mixes from the single Eyes Wide was this great reworking from Fools Gold. Giving it a bit of a crunk/gangstar rap mash up while still retaining the beautiful vocal work form the band
