Review: Over the last two decades, countless produdcers have sampled or remixed Marlena Shaw's "Woman of the Ghetto", with St Germain famously using it as the basis for jazz-house classic "Rose Rouge". Only last month, it was re-shaped into a chunk of Balearic hip-hop bliss by Akshin Alizadeh on a fine 7-inch single. Now, Polish big guns Catz 'n' Dogz get their chance to re-imagine it for 21st century house dancefloors. The main "Remix" that kicks off proceedings is particularly potent, as the long-serving duo lace snippets of Shaw's vocal over a jaunty but driving, stab-heavy groove before unleashing an avalanche of mind-altering acid lines. The alternative "Beat Mix", which as the name suggests is all about densely layered percussion and sweat-soaked peak-time fun, is also superb.

Review: Featuring the combined talents of guests Zensofly and Maxville, "Wave" was one of the undisputed highlights of Catz 'N' Dogz recent album "Friendship". Here it gets the single treatment, with the short and punchy original version (track four) being joined by the Polish pair's previously unheard "Club Mix". This is something of a sweaty beat, with sleazy vocals, percolating electronics and raw warehouse stabs leaping enthusiastically above a booming peak-time groove. Justin Martin delivers the headline-grabbing remix, wrapping a wonky and heavy bassline and mind-altering stabs around a swinging, garage-influenced groove, while Theus Mago cleverly re-imagines the cut as a throbbing slab of Italo-disco/hypnotic house fusion.

Review: Since bursting on to the scene in the mid 20-teens, Spanish producer Nicson has only put out a handful of releases. This expansive EP on Pets Recordings is not only his first solo single for two years, but also his most high profile to date. He begins by joining forces with Dixie Yure on the wonky, low-slung delight that is "I'm In Love" - all slack-tuned, live-sounding drums, heady bass, fizzing synth riffs and angular electronic motifs - before layering up samples on the dense and forthright house jam "Destiny Dancer". Elsewhere, "Sampled Soap" is a drowsy, locked-in deep house jam, "Warehousing" is a warm and blissful tribute to turn-of-the-90s Italian house and "No Way Dream" is a lusciously hazy and melodious number underpinned by jacking, Chicago style drums.

Review: Grzegorz and Wojciech are back - has it really been ten years now that these guys have been plying their craft? Some would consider them legends now. The Polish via Berlin duo are back with a couple of sleek tech house cuts for their always reliable Pets Recordings imprint. "Opsi Bubsi"has just the right amount of bump and bounce to warm up crowds during the pre-peak time slot. Otherwise "Elixir" gets deep and atmospheric on that Crosstown Rebels esoteric vibe with layers of hypnotising pads doing most of the work over a low slung groove.

Review: Untitled is the debut album of Different Marks, the tantalising combination of Polish duo Catz n Dogz and Martin Dawson of Two Armadillos fame, finished shortly before Dawson's sad and untimely death last year. Those familiar with Catz n Dogz' bright, bumpy house sound will be right at home here, with an album filled with catchy hooks, swung rhythms, R&B influences, subtle low end and astonishing vocal contributions from the likes of Cari Golden, Ben Westbeech and Glimpse. Best of all, it's absolutely free!

Review: Spanish producer Simon Garcia rocks quite the beard and has appeared on a who's who of labels in recent times not limited to Poker Flat, Freerange, Supplement Facts and now Catz N Dogz' esteemed Pets Recordings. On the melodic and hypnotic "I Never Knew" (feat Trisse Young - original mix) there's some trippy vocal samples and glistening arpeggios over a bumpy bass and rapid fire rhythm, all programmed immaculately. The remix of said track by Swedish house larrikin Mr Tophat is as quirky as always but a dusty and delightful disco derived jam that's so worth mentioning. On "Trimmer', Garcia goes for something deeper and sexier with its sultry, swirling chords and dreamy pads dancing over an attitude driven shuffle that could have equally been at home on Poker Flat sister label Dessous.

Review: Dalfie follows Purple Hub, his 2016 debut on Pets, with this tripped out three tracker. "Outlaw" resounds to detuned riffs, rasping percussion and outer space swirls and swooshes. It's a perfectly weighted slice of futuristic tech house. On "For It", the emerging producer opts for a more organic style; the drums are hollowed out and rolling - calling to mind the late 90s West Coast house sound - albeit with a tone-shifting bass in the background. The final track, "Right Up (dub version)" is different again; featuring tripped out vocal samples, rave whistles and an insidious, wiry rhythm, it sounds like an update of Classic's distinctive sound.

Review: A bold statement against insular club culture, closed minds and lack of innovation, "The Choice" continues Catz 'N Dogz positive broadcasts with the help of Miss Bunty and three great friends on remix duties. On the Miss Bunty vocal, the track's bouncy acid groove powers along boldly to support her empowering lyrics, while the BETON Tribute To The Classics mix gets deep down and dirty. Madrid's Bawrut lets the drummer get wicked and man of the moment Adriyano gets his dusty classic house stomp on with the Super Relaks remix.

Review: It's been another great year for Catz 'N' Dogz's Pets Recordings imprint. If you missed any of the Polish imprint's many essential releases, fear not, as help is at hand via this top-notch round up of their biggest cuts of 2019. There are naturally plenty of contributions from the label's popular head honchos, with highlights including Andhim's evocative, acid-sporting vocal remix of "Would You Believe", a suspenseful contemporary dream house rework of "There" by Terr and a deliciously retro-futurist house take on "New Love" by Gerd Janson. Elsewhere, top picks include the warehouse-ready throb of Truncate's "Pressure", the pitched-down darkroom chug of "Rattlesnake" by Psychemagik and the drowsy deep house/UK garage fusion of Black Loops' "Keep A Secret".

Review: Prolific producer An On Bast (real name Anna Suda) first appeared on Pets Recordings this time last year, contributing a cut to their excellent Friends of Pets compilation series. Here the Ghost Kitchen regular delivers her first full EP on Catz "n" Dogz, an ear-catching affair containing four varied cuts. Compare and contrast, for example, the low-slung, tribal-influenced late night sweatiness of Afro-tinged stomper "Para" and the wonderfully deep, acid-powered mid-tempo chug of "Life In A Hammock". Suda's penchant for rising and falling, slightly psychedelic lead lines also comes to the fore on the rolling deep house goodness of spacey closer "Sway", while the bass-heavy shimmer of wonderfully melodious opener "The Ballet Began At Eight" is the EP's most striking moment by some distance.

Review: Mexican Theus Mago's "Terremoto Valley Express EP" is a captivating exploration of trance and dance music. This 4-track journey takes listeners on a thrilling ride through driving rhythms, uplifting melodies, and euphoric soundscapes. The EP seamlessly blends elements of classic trance with contemporary dance music influences. Tracks like "Terremoto Valley Express" and "Electric Sun" showcase Theus Mago's ability to craft infectious melodies and driving basslines that wouldn't sound out of place in a trance club. Meanwhile, "Lost in the Echo" takes a deeper dive into atmospheric textures and introspective sounds, offering a brief moment of respite before the final track, "Neon Night," explodes with a pulsating energy.

Review: Darlyn Vlys, head of Polaris Records, returns with a stellar sonic journey in his latest EP for Pets Recordings. Known for his cosmic dancefloor adventures, Vlys presents two meticulously crafted tracks, "Surrender" and "Rampage." The title track leads listeners on an electrifying odyssey with its laser-focused production, seamlessly blending pulsating struts and mesmerising vocoder vocals, urging us to succumb to the dancefloor's allure. "Rampage" introduces a darker, cinematic dimension with its thumping kick, rattling snares, and haunting spoken vocals. This impressive Pets debut showcases the French artist's unique fusion of cosmic energy, dynamic beats, and cinematic allure in two compelling numbers. Surrender to the music.

Review: Sienkiewicz was one of the first artist to emerge in Poland's electronic music scene back in the 90s. He has since released a string of albums for labels like Cocoon and his own Recognition, and in a neat touch, he has been commissioned to put out a release on fellow Polish artist Catz'n'Dogz label. The title track is vintage Sienkiewicz as a low-slung groove underpins a series of analogue bleeps and howls. On "Mustang", the approach is more clubby, with Sienkiewicz laying down subtle organ builds over a rolling rhythm. The Polish producer's work always has a deeply experimental approach and this is mirrored in the choice of remixer on this EP, with Tobias turning "Mustang" into a fizzling, hissing minimal affair.

Review: This is Kaspar's second release on Pets having also put out material recently for Upon You and Kompakt's Exklusiv offshoot. Like Pets' owners, Catz N'Dogz, Kaspar mines a freestyle form of minimal house and techno. This is most audible on "Strout". The bass lunges and lurches unpredictably, there are blasts and bursts of atonal noise and a rickety percussive accompaniment that holds the arrangement together. He adopts a far different approach on "Roundhouse"; closer in sound to late 90s party techno, it centers on a rolling rhythm, larger than life horn stabs and the kind of rolling snares that are the polar opposite of glum minimalism.

Review: When it comes to effervescent, exciting, party-starting club cuts, few producers can match the track record of Chrissy Shively. The San Francisco-based Chicago exile is at his energetic best on the So Electrifying EP, his first outing for Pets Recordings. The title track is a high-grade disco-house jam that's as celebratory as they come, while 'Aww Baby' sees him cunningly combine sleazy analogue house, rave stabs and disco samples to devastating effect. Accompanying Shively's original versions are two remixes: a stomping, harder-edged, acid-powered disco-house rework of 'So Electrifying' by VONDA7, and a wonderfully sleazy, pitched down acid-disco revision of 'Aww Baby' courtesy of the Carry Nation. Terrific stuff!

Review: Anjunadeep and Needwant regular Joseph Ashworth returns to Pets Recordings following a near two year hiatus. "Sienna" is impressively woozy and tactile, with rich, lo-fi riffs, drifting chords and seductive electronics wrapping themselves around a loose but locked-in drum machine rhythm. While impressive, Earth Trax's remix - which introduces some tasty New Jersey style organs and a genuinely saucer-eyed Balearic house feel - is arguably even better. Perhaps best of all, though, is "Vitamins", a pleasingly analogue-sounding chunk of rolling deep house positivity that boasts some seriously juicy piano riffs amongst its many musical charms. Expect to hear all three tracks a lot in coming months.

Review: As the matter-or-fact title suggests, this EP delivers fresh remixes of cuts from Catz 'N' Dogz bulging back catalogue. First to give the Polish outfit a thorough going over is Roman Flugel, who turns "Don't" into a melancholic mid-tempo dub-house shuffler rich in blissful electric piano chords, ricocheting echo effects and drifting vocal samples. Next, DJ Steaw delivers a fine deep house rub of "It's Happening" that fixes warm and dreamy elements to a typically bustling dancefloor groove, before Pional steals the show with a sparkling version of "Rave History" that sounds like late '80s/early '90s Pet Shop Boys after a four-day club session. Finally, LAWLER channels the essence of Danny Tenaglia for a big room-ready rework of "Keep On".
