cats n dogs are proud to present their new album >friendship<

catz n dogz are some of our oldest extended dirtybird family, spanning multiple eps, a couple albums, some remixes, and we even presented their very first release as catz n dogz as they transitioned from their old 3 channels alias in 2007. its been over 4 years since they ve been on the label, and we re ecstatic to have them back with the feelings factory. fine feelings features the legendary vocalist robert owens, and sounds like a classic deep house track from the late 90 s when no one called it deep house, they just danced to it all night in warehouses. factory settings includes additional production from londons joseph ashworth, and from the first note to the last its filled with driving intensity and an ascending cacophony of rhythms and voices.

pets boot down the doors of 2018 with this generous five track version excursion. five of the label bosss most distinctive and decorated tracks from recent years get the treatment from five fittingly big names, this is how its going to go down… the one and only roman flügel takes the lead with a wonked-out trip down ‘basic colour theory lane. with a sly switch on the kicks and full emphasis on the alien encounter feels, his trippy take on ‘dont sets the perfect creative benchmark for whats to follow. dig deeper for a bumping, stripped back warm and jacking twist of ‘its happening by the currently unavoidable rutilance founder dj steaw while counter records pional breaks down their recent jolt of euphoria ‘rave history and rebuilds it into a slinkier, house affair, repurposing every spine-tingle and skin-ripple greg and voitek coded into the original. deeper again were treated to an exceptional twist of their green velvet collaboration ‘keep on as lawler injects a springy, molten momentum to the elements with a salubriously loopy machine funk feel. finally, for good measure, jonathan kasper wraps up their 2016 spiritual trip ‘elixir with a new sense of conga-riddled, bass-licked momentum. still reaching the highs when you least expect it to, the pay-off keeps giving and giving. a little like this whole ep

to know whats up right now, we must understand what went down in history rave history: easily one of catz n dogz most evocative, classically-informed and ferociously euphoric pieces of work to date, this is a celebration of every black wax brick laid in the foundations of dance music culture. every hand that was ever raised in sweaty exultation. every stranger whoever got hugged on the dancefloor for no reason but pure love for the moment. every whistle. every horn. every damn time. from its quintessential break to its iconic vocal via its sizzling bass-heavy groove, ‘rave history is the ultimate finale piece, a show-stopping opener or a wild mid-set excursion. it resonates with everything thats relevant now and everything thats ever been relevant. loaded with pure positivity, this will complement any style of dj set, any crowd, any age, any country. this is our dna. for added euphoric stimuli, the szczecin boys have also thrown in a kickless hype tool in the form of the feel-heavy life mix. choral pads, cascading fx, dramatic one-strike piano notes, splashing cymbals and that almighty vocal sample that comes with one essential message every single one of us can raise our sweaty hands and hug strangers to: no matter how weird things feel in the world right now, when were together with like-minded dancing neighbours, everything is going to be all right.

it’s evident in the stark optimist architecture of daniel libeskind. it’s evident in krakow’s thriving club scene and the country’s bubbling pools of electronic music talent. it’s everything catz n dogz do: their attitude, their music, their labels, their wooded festival and, perhaps most importantly, their friends. not just there to carry you home, friends carry you everywhere. and right here on ‘friends of pets’ catz n dogz are carrying their companions’ creativity with the same esteem and pride they host their polish festival. a cultural statement and powerful showcase of their country’s great thinkers, creators, collaborators and disrupters in electronic music

picking up right where ep 1 left off, ep 2 kicks things off with a bang. first up is catz n dogz and yotam avnis for blakkat a high pace burner ideally suited for dance floors from panorama bar to under the leds of watergate and every club in-between. the duo return with the bright version of afterglow for the second cut on ep 2 and aptly titled, it pushes an intense, glitter filled ride to its limits. embarking onto the b-side, o.a. peas from heavy hitter eats everything & lord leopard take a trip down memory lane with a heavily sample based feel good tune that will absolutely demolish dance floors worldwide. rounding out the ep is a final collaboration between catz n dogz and reno wurzbacher with ma people and its by far the smoothest and most laid back tune of the bundle, but never does it let you rest as a mesmerizing groove and lush atmospherics tell a deep, complex tale of late nights and early mornings.

!! 2018 repress !! flying high after their successful watergate 22 compilation, catz n dogz return to deliver eight exclusive tracks from their mix via two eps showcasing their expert ability to navigate a multitude of different styles. ep 1 commences with catz n dogz original fire burning when we are, a tune that sees them flying solo to create a stunning journey that lands somewhere sonically between carl craig and henrik schwarz where infectious drums reinforce an ensemble of dramatic harmonies tangling with euphoric melodies. afterglow follows suit with an attitude infused vocal from shaun j. wright laid over a trek into a world where old school vibes meet a new school plan of attack resulting in an absolute floor filler perfect for any time. rounding out the ep are remixes from two of the best: prosumer and sebo k. prosumer steps up first to rework fire burning when we ar’ and creates a massive tune with the signature prosumer touch, evident in the timelessness and maturity of the reimagining. sebo k in turn hands over a jackin remake of afterglow by staying true to the original by keeping everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.

after a run of new signings in 2016 - aus music kick of 2017 with something a little bit different. to inaugurate the new year they welcome in catz n dogz for three separate interpretations of classic records from the aus music archives. cherry picked from the vast back catalogue are tracks from bicep, geeeman and george fitzgerald all of which are given a rough, smoke treatment from the pets recordings owners. kicking things off is the remix of geemans wanna go bang he title track from his punchy 12-inch from 2015 that now sees a driving and percussive reworking. bicep the game is next in line a track from the irish duos first solo outing on aus back in 2013. soft, overlapping chords are propelled by snapping drums and multiple melodic lines that build an allaying palette the remix of george fitzgeralds hindsight then caps things off as more frazzled drums propel a stuttering vocal line and a warped synth pattern. continuing to keep things fresh - aus look ahead to another year of new signings and surprises and kick off here with a reminder of the solid foundation that has come before it

following on from the successful release of basic colour theory: remixed in march, catz n dogz announce their latest ep upsi bubsi. the duos first release of 2016 welcomes the new year in true catz n dogz fashion with two tracks ep is a fruitful twist of cosmic melodies mixed under the duos trademark heavy tech-house styled bass and percussion.

fresh from catz n dogz own recent remixes of disclosure, roisin murphy and rufus comes their own remix album of the critically acclaimed basic colour theory album the polish djs, producers and pets recordings label owners have now invited a prolific array of artists to remix a selection of the lps signature tracks.

the polish djs, producers and pets recordings label owners known for their electrifying performances and catchy cuts announce their third lp, basic colour theory, a fruitful collection of evocative melodies and gorgeous vocals. this album marks a pivotal moment in their career as house outfit catz n dogz.

spell pets backwards to get step. spell step forwards to find pets going back to basics. step is the new concept vinyl only label from the founder of pets, catz n dogz, that highlights the rawest forms and root functions of quality club music. step finds the fundamental groove with under-the-radar house and techno that is isn’t afraid to be rough around the edges. step is limited promo, zero hype, and all about the music. each new step will be released every four months on vinyl only.

weve always thought catz n dogz are well mannered gentlemen. here they prove it with their ghetto-minded twist on the most important gesture a man can make ladies first

with what looks like a summer heatwave on the horizon, it seems right to call on dirtybirds european extension to deliver a sundrenched dance floor stormer to see in the new season. the two track love ep sees catz n dogz join forces with the everinnovative kink, a pairing that has proved striking in the past year after kinks beautiful follow the step release on the polish duos label, pets recordings.

the second mercury ep - and we dont need to introduce the guys anymore for sure. from brodinski, dj mehdi, a-trak to cosmo vitelli, ajello and matt walsh - the last mercury release and their remixes for made to play, kitsune, tom trago have been played by djs from all kinds of scenes. it seems the guys found the perfect formula for mixing soul, house and contemporary electronica in a way that works perfect on 99% of the dancefloors of today. and still: this is not cheap music at all. mercurys complex production and clever songwriting guarantee that you want to listen to this music again and again. now the guys strike back with an ep where its hard to choose the main track. play these tunes.. peaktime or warm up... people will scream and shout. especially - as always with gomma records - the girls will love it... hehe.

berliner martin dawson and polish duo catz n dogz join forces to bring us this fierce three track ep entitled no nights. the first track on this release is no nights. brimming with warm pads and an accusing, dark lo-fi synth line this version has a deep vibe to it and the ability to really get under ones skin. following this the berlin-polish team hit us with no nights (beatz mix) a catchy tech-house number with a lo-fi synth line sporadically accompanied by a melodically decending dubby synth. combined with the crisp vocal line this makes for a very promising track. no days, the last track on this release gets straight to business with distorted vocals and a menacing bassline that intertwine throughout the track. varying rhythmical flourishes keep it interesting, while tripped out synthesized sounds guarantee to get any dancefloor grooving. we couldnt be more pleased with the results of this tenacious trio and we look to the future in hope that they are already planning further collaborations.

polskis and boston tea parties are never usually mentioned in the same sentence, this particular tea party took place in berlin in the summer of 2009, and instead of the traditional tea party antics, it involved devouring traditional polish pies and vodka. this became the recipe for an unprecedented collaboration. throw in a seth troxler inspired sample and that recipe becomes michelin starred! vodka sinkers catz & dogz get groovy with dope time travellers soul clap in a pairing which makes you think you dropped a tab, polished off a bottle and smashed the back out of some kosher delights.
*limited to 500 copies*. miss it and miss out.

quality groovin techhouse action

catz n dogz are back with their second full length artist album on mothership. the follow-up to 2008s >stars of zoo< is a break from convention and a further exploration of genres by this amazing polish duo. hence the new albums title, >escape from zoo< the guys break free from the cage and run wild in a wilderness full of street bass, disco, r&b, deep house, hip-hop and more.
this preview ep is a teaser of two of the tracks from the album especially built for the club. >warsaw by night< is a rough and rugged tech burner that sounds like detroit via poland. and the dirty version adds and extra bit of growl to the equation for those who really want to throw it down.
>i’m the one who’s crazy< is a booming barbecue shaker that mixes elements of hip-hop, soul and house into a low end killer.
the guys have come a long way since their start as the group 3 channels from szczecin, poland and we hope you like these as much as we do.

if you listen to techno then you already know of the polish duo called 3 channels, with amazing eps on labels ranging from crosstown rebels to trapez to dirtybird. now, the masterful polish duo of greg and voit have developed a new name - catz n dogz - with a completely original sound. their debut album stars of zoo is a hybrid masterpiece. a beautiful cross between the best elements of deep house, minimal techno, and cinematically arranged live instrumentation. this is an album of songs – not tracks! yet each individual segment of the album - from the lush sonic soundscapes of >sunset in the east< to the complicated spirals of 2 – reveals new delightful details upon each listen. catz n dogz have created a sound that is at once timeless and contemporary, respecting technos past by keeping their sights firmly set on its future

after a some big remixes and a nice original outing this summer on get physical, catz n dogz return back to their home label. this time the guys team up with their friend, the hot producer, pol_on while also featuring the candid vocals of fellow mothershipper , monty luke. this is a great single to check out as we wait for their new 2nd album for mothership due out in the spring of 2010. the sexy analog sound of the original mix will fit well within any proper house set, but i particularly prefer the drama queen mix which breaks into a beautiful melodic section 3 quarters of the way through. groovy.

the fourth and final installment in the catz n dogz vinyl series has saved the best for last. sunset in the east is an epic opus, gradually unfolding in a cascade of warm toms, luxuriant ride cymbals, and assured sax stabs from their talented guests from dop. each new phrase ushers a fresh set of sonic delights into the frame, peaking with exultant proclamations from the saxophones. on the flip side, the white-hot guillaume & the coutu dumonts remix distills the track into the purest, most primal house music imaginable. his arrangement deftly remolds the sax sections to suit the tracks grand progression, gloriously blurring the lines between percussion and instrumentation

the third installment in the catz n dogz vinyl series is a showcase for two standout songs off their album stars of zoo. >sf< is a throwback to classic house tracks, with a modern twist - a playground full of joyous children have invaded its sly, bongo-laden grooves. yet these precocious youngsters are only part of the story – the beats insistent and ever-changing swing never lets up for more than a couple of moments. >2< is more ominous but no less effective. its primary percussion enters like springs filling up an echo chamber, gradually morphing into several competing themes that weave together throughout the track. 2s bass is a serious force, creating a physical presence that must be heard on a large system to be believed!

omanko is the only word that is unmentionable in japanese media and public speech. its also the next single from catz n dogz - a strange hybird of cinematic swells, quirky natural drums and popping guitar plucks. its unorthodox groove builds relentlessly, anchored by a shouting chorus and warm bass bubbles that swell from the depths like some massive ancient sea creature. they take their time building to the climax, finishing the track with late-entering keyboard theme that quickly swirls into a frenzy. perfect for tipping that peaktime crowd over the edge! the italoboyz remix completely remolds the groove to fit their distinctive vision, seamlessly integrating shards from the original into their tension-fuelled agenda. breakdowns of varying sizes dominate the sonic landscape, as their annihilating kick plays hide and seek with the strings throughout the track. finally, all the elements are reunited by the echo-drenched vocal line and percussive baritone sax stabs – a satisfying finale to this latenight masterpiece.
