Pets Recordings sometimes leave me questioning whether running a label and being the prime remixers for it's releases is a smart idea or not. Sure enough Catz N Dogz have released some cracking remixes in house and undeniably lifted some of the lower quality records to the Pets standard. However the most recent offering from the Poles comes across as slightly self indulgent, opting to remix I'll Leave Soon twice, their Spaced Out mix perhaps the better of the two. Thanks to the originals of freshly faced Uffe however, Colors Outside is still [...]
Pets Recordings continue to push the boundaries with their forward thinking house policy. They are always seeking to extend their sound and this one goes even further outside the norms. Label chiefs Catz 'n Dogz are now ready to introduce an artist who's music sits proudly and creatively on the fringes... Uffe. "Uffe Christensen has always been inspired by sampling and experimental music. A fact most obvious when listening to his productions. Having began his creative process on his fathers old PC, it was a move to Cophenhagen, working as a DJ/booker and immersing himself within the [...]
Due for release on Pets Recordings in a few weeks is beautiful EP from Uffe, Colors Outside. Hailing from Copenhagen, the Danish Uffe Christensen is now based in Amsterdam and is set to hold a dear place in your daytime music heart. The title track, a light-hearted, bouncy affair, heavy with summery samples, serves to bliss you out ready for the somewhat darker but no less stunning I'll Leave Soon. Its melancholic vocals and slow build-up ensure its place as the strongest track on the release. Meanwhile the 'Just Leave' remix of I'll Leave Soon comes courtesy [...]
Uffe , à en juger par le peu d'informations que j'ai pu trouver sur le net, semble être la dernière découverte artistique du label Pets Recordings , ou peut être un side-project d'un artiste plus connu. En tous cas, l'univers musical de l'artiste en question est absolument fabuleux. Je vous laisse en juger avec cette vidéo qui, à l'instar du dernier clip (raté) de SebastiAn, met en scène les élucubrations d'une jeune demoiselle un peu délirante... sauf qu'ici, c'est réussi. On préfère largement le sentiment d'évasion et de poésie qui s'échappe du clip réalisé par Sonia Szóstak , au côté trash [...]
The beauty of such events like the Winter Music Conference in Miami is that it's fairly easy to discover new talented artists. All you have to do is steer clear of the headlining acts and staples of the scene that you've seen multiple times and venture to the hole-in-a-wall shows. Although far from a hole-in-a-wall, my first night at WMC I cruised to Bardot to catch Yuksek, Cassian, Plastic Plates, Finger Prince, and Mickey. It was at Bardot that I fell in love with Mickey, who in my opinion edged out fellow belgian legends 2manydjs for best set of the [...]

Pets Recordings latest offering is from Amsterdam resident, Uffe . The 5 track EP, entitled; "Colors Outside" is a rich exploration into what deep house sounds like right now. The title track is easy-going and driven by textbook 70's funk chords. Catz 'n Dogz lend their talents for two of the EP's remixes, the standout being their "I'll Leave Soon (Just Leave Remix)," which carries a full & deep bassline (classic Catz 'n Dogz). The last track on the EP is quite possibly the best. "When The Sun Rose" combines a smoky rhythm, subtle cowbell, and [...]
Y continuando en Dinamarca, el trio de WhoMadeWho , otras bestias sobre el escenario, y geniales artistas, que actualmente están inmersos en la gira de su brillante álbum 'Brighter', acaban de publicar nuevo EP extraído de su álbum, el 'Running Man/The Sun' (para el sello alemán de Kompakt ), un EP que se abre con la versión del álbum del tema 'Running Man', un temazo genial, que viene acompañado de unas bailables remezclas, como la del alemán Dave DK quien le confiere un punto [...]
Genre: House, Deep House, Tech House. OM: Miami 2012 released by OM Records, includes 14 tracks and one Dj Mix by Al Velilla.
In preparation for the Dirty Bird BBQ coming up in Miami in a week, Catz N Dogz have launched their track titled 'Bring me the water'! Out on Dirty Bird Records, this song serves as one of four tracks, the others being by Samuel Dan, Tom Flynn and Soul Clap/ Nick Monaco. The track is based around some vocal distortion and is quite repetitive with a cheeky groove. I wouldn't label this Catz N Dogz best track, however there is something in the tone of the song that makes you understand why they made [...]

So stoked to have these guys on the mixtape grind for the blog! You may have seen these guys pop up recently with their release 'Swamp Beats" on Fat Boy Slim's Southern Fried Records. But they have been kicking along for a while, with their first break coming via Andrew Weatherall, who hand picked a remix of theirs for release on his label. I'll let their bio give you the other word: Friends since spawn, the boys began djing after failing to impress on the boyband scene. This was due in part to [...]
So stoked to have these guys on the mixtape grind for the blog! You may have seen these guys pop up recently with their release 'Swamp Beats" on Fat Boy Slim's Southern Fried Records. I'll let their bio give you the word: Friends since spawn, the boys began djing after failing to impress on the boyband scene. This was due in part to follicular irregularities and a rare case of vicious Tourette's. However, the duo didn't see these issues as obstacles on the dj circuit, so they [...]
OK so this is the big one! If you aren't going to this party then you need your head examined! We've already mentioned that the finest purveyors of quality bass house music will be touching down in London April 7th and with them they'll be bringing the biggest ever dirtybird line up! The party is so big that it sold out pretty much straight away... this will leave some lonely people out of the party but not so if you're one of our sexy readers as we are offering a very special prize in the run up to the event!

Revenge of the Synth: V from SoundLogik on 8tracks . We are music fiends. We breathe it. We live it. We sit listening hours on end - analyzing, re-analyzing, nitpicking, downloading, creating - all in all gaining knowledge about the thing that makes us click. But what is it all worth? In a societal sense it's worth whatever someone will pay. But in a more intrinsic sense, it's much more. It's healing, happiness, exercise, hope, satisfaction.. And it's a shame that there are those who don't understand what good music is and what it [...]
Dj Charts: No Artificial Colours - Beatport New & Old Chart. genre: House, Deep House.
This is something fresh from Claude Von Stroke's imprint, Dirtybird . The Polish duo has become synonymous with the Warsaw scene. For us, it has been exciting to see what quality can be produced in Eastern Europe. Having already shared with you fellow Pole, Jacaszek 's ambient bleeps and bells, we thought it fitting to show off the full spectrum of Warsaw. Catz N' Dogz do dance music well. For them, it is not just about the formulaic crescendos, but about making something that one can groove to. The break down on "Jon Bovi" is unexpected. It flushes a new dynamic to the track that could only [...]
Big Claude has got a hefty schedule ahead of him in the next few months. He'll be releasing the latest dirtybird gem below called Fantome which features JAW of the notorious dOP crew... This marks the very first time VonStroke has worked with a singer and we think the results are out of this world. A slight toe tip into the mainstream but still true to its underground and subdued dirtybird bass roots. The release is set for 1st of March so set your alarms now! Then a month later set those alarms again for the London leg [...]
