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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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
