Well *that* was something else. Truly.

This was the fourth successive year I'd played a sunrise on the Playa with my most excellent friends at the Nutz camp, and this year *everyone* upped the bar. The One Series (my vehicle for DJs to express themselves fully through uber-long sets) effectively sprang out of the love & passion for these ethereal mornings at Burning Man, so it seemed fitting that this would become One Playa Sunrise.

As with every year the sun was shining, everyone wore a vast, passionate smile with wonderful sights & sounds filling the air. We were joined by The Dusty Rhino & Painkiller, along with most of Distrikt. It was the perfect morning.

At the end, six intensely wonderful hours later, I dissolved into tears, not for the first time this week & the dancefloor submerged me. 

I hope it takes you there.

We’ve 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.

“Booty Comes First” opens with a mid ‘90s arpeggiated synth hook that pumps with a crisp sense of innocence. This purity is soon corrupted by subtle orgasm moans, gangster vocal loops and a twisted melting trumpet horn blast. Switched up with classic garagey off-beat snares, it carries all the classic Catz ‘n Dogz motifs while remaining fresh, exciting and seriously next level.

Unlike the A-side, there are no airs and graces about “Bones Shakin.’” A swinging, butt-busting groove, this is quintessential dirtybird thanks to its jacking dynamic, wretched robo-vocals and head-turning noises and FX.

This follows Catz ‘n Dogz powerhouse stomper “Drop It” on dirtybird’s lip-smacking BBQ compilation. Seven years deep and this Polish / Californian connection continues to spawn some of the most subversive, exciting house music on the planet. Long may this relationship last!
