Pete Tong handed over the decks to Polish duo Catz ‘N Dogz for this weeks’ Essential Mix for what is going to become a staple mix for any deep house fan in the months to come. The alpha males behind Pets Recordings (brought us Eats Everything) took on this honor head on; incorporating some of their newer work while drawing a lot from previous releases and even asking some friends to donate unreleased material for the two hour marathon. Constantly working with the guys of Dirtybird among others, these guys are helping bring tech house back to the forefront of electronic dance music. I really don’t know where to begin on how much I am digging this mix so I will let the release speak for itself..
Whether you’re charmed by their bass-heavy, colourful and always groove-laden DJ sets, drawn in by their arresting live show, weaving your your way through their illustrious output as producers, or delving into the magical tunes curated from their close network of friends, Grzegorz and Wojchiech (or Greg n’ Voitek) are simply two of the hottest house Catz (n’ Dogz) on the scene today.
