Mr Fogg - new single "Stung" release date 23 August 2010
Mr Fogg is back with the latest single to be taken from this year's debut LP Moving Parts, an album that won him many new fans, with the NME declaring "His soaring, emotive hooks could have come straight from the Coldplay songbook" and Huw Stephens snapping him up for a Maida Vale session on August 18th.

Having already had a great year for single releases, including "Keep Your Teeth Sharp" in January and the second single - also called "Moving Parts" - which featured the huge, crossover Jakwob remix; we are now presented with "Stung" - the secret weapon in Mr Fogg's arsenal.
Playing on his natural ability to combine light and dreamy aesthetics with sinister and dark undertones, "Stung" shows Mr Fogg at his true genre-defying best with a song that will surely continue to drive people towards his talent.
Indeed it's a talent that has been nurtured for many years, with Fogg having been a grade-A multi-instrumentalist from a very tender age. Having combined gifted skill with sheer determination; in 2010 he encompasses everything that is the modern day independent artist. As the songwriter, singer, musician, producer and label boss for all his music, Mr Fogg has complete creative control.
And it's exactly that freedom which allows him to create music that's so original and personal to him, standing out from the crowd as a "one man wall of intelligent electronica" (Drowned In Sound).
Remixes on the package come from two equally hot names Ital Tek and Jeuce, who both play on the bottom end of the song with Ital Tek going for a high-paced skippy work-out that complements Jeuce's sharp dubstep perfectly.
