Polaris Records head honcho, Darlyn Vlys, is back with an interstellar sonic journey on his new EP for Pets Recordings. Recognized for his cosmic crusades on the dancefloor, Vlys delivers two meticulously crafted tracks in Surrender and Rampage.

The title track takes the listener on an electrified odyssey with its laser-focused production. Skillfully blending a pulsating strut with mesmerizing vocoder vocals, we're asked to submit to the pull of the dancefloor. 'Rampage' introduces a darker, cinematic dimension to the EP. The thumping kick, rattling snares, and haunting spoken vocals converge to create an truly immersive experience.

An impressive Pets debut from the Frenchman, with two captivating tracks that offer a unique blend of cosmic energy, dynamic beats, and cinematic allure.

Brace yourselves for an unforgettable ride as Mexican producer and Duro label boss, Theus Mago, invites us to join the party on the 'Terremoto Valley Express'.

Our journey kicks off with ‘Nocturne’, propelling us through the valley with its blend of tribal drums, effortless funk and eerie after-dark melody. A late-night heater that’s already on course to become the first underground smash of 2024.

The seismic rumblings intensify with, 'Terremoto'. A relentless combination of bubbling synth lines, thumping kick drum, and hypnotic spoken vocal, inviting us to create our own tremors on the dancefloor.

Our final hypnotic destination is 'Cuerpo y Mente’. A track that calls on us to channel the sound and energy of the dance into our physical form. As a thrilling bonus, Berlin-based Italian producer Younger Than Me delivers a frantic rework, adding an extra layer of intensity to the already explosive finale.

The Terremoto Valley Express. Enjoy the ride!

Terremoto Valley Express EP

Warehouse Symphony EP

London’s finest, Joshua James, known for his dynamic outings on labels including Phantasy, Warehouse Music and Polari, drops a pulsating double-header on Pets Recordings with, ‘Body’ and ‘Vada’. Drawing inspiration from his residencies at Pleasurehood and Feel It, two of London's most brilliantly curated Club nights, both tracks radiate high energy, high octane, and high fashion.

"Vada" features a captivating collaboration with the iconic Princess Julia, a luminary of London's fashion scene and revered Blitz kid. Their first encounter at the iconic Ghetto nightclub, when Joshua was 19, sparked an infinately creative synergy that has already, together with Clayton Wright, forged the incredible False Idols opening ceremony (check their socials), and now culminates in this remarkable track. With Julia's vocals delivered in Polari, a clandestine Queer language used for covert communication, "Vada" invites listeners to "To Look" through a prism of musical innovation and cultural homage.

"Body” is a lithe, strobe-enticing soundtrack. Fueled by its piano melody, crescendoing washes and frenetic drums, it exudes hedonistic euphoria and is tailor-made for dark, seductive dance floors.

Catch Joshua at the forthcoming False Idols show @ Drumsheds in April alongside Princess Superstar and Sonique, and at his weekly residencies at Feel It and Pleasurehood.

Vada EP

Christian Nielsen makes a triumphant return to Pets Recordings, following last summer’s ’Elusive EP’, with a dynamic duo of club weapons: 'All Night Long' and 'Take It Off’.

True to its name, All Night Long delivers an unrelenting bass-heavy groove, with whispered vocals that urge us to "keep on moving" and a frenetic bumblebee of a melody. Christian then garnishes with added rave stabs to create a perfect late night jam.
Take It Off emerges as a perfect festival soundtrack. Rolling snares, detuned horns, trancey synths, and infectious vocal licks come together in a harmonious and capitvating blend, making it perfect for the season ahead.

All Night Long EP

Pets Recordings present an exclusive remix release that sees label debutants HNNY and Danny Daze turn their remix talents on a brace of tracks from Pets regulars, Chmara Winter. 

Polish duo Chmara Winter have become known for their intricate productions and work with audio textures that impress and delight in equal measure. Kris & Bart's tracks have been entrusted to the care of HNNY & Danny who turn in two very contrasting reworks.

Studio Barnhaus artist HNNY takes the reigns on Kings Of Zenon and treats us to a wonderfully low slung, mesmeric groove. Stabbing rhodes riffs are joined by a pained flute and erratic popping synths, whilst the breathy vocal floats beneath. Quite the concoction but each ingredient is mixed to perfection by the Swedish producer to create the most delicious of dishes.


DJ FEEDBACK….  

Eats Everything – “The Danny Daze remix has been killing it for me. It gives me a boner…”

Vhyce returns to Pets with more of his beautiful signature cosmic disco and his timing is exquisite. Making his debut on Catz & Dogz label earlier this year with 'One Day We'll Float', the release landed just at the right time as we all plummeted into a bleak new year.

Now as summer begins to open up again, and things look a little brighter, he returns with equally precision-timed sounds. With its sultry bassline and big romantic pads, 'Monde Réel' hits with a big dose of hope. Translating to 'real world', this is a homage to the future. And that positivity remains on 'Insieme'. This time translating to 'together', it's another moment of unity as Vhyce takes us up and down the scale in classic Q&A arpeggiated style. Soft, gentle but emotionally soaring; you can almost feel the hugs as the woozy synths roll out.

Always one for balance, Vhyce includes the much tenser and introspective 'Subdued' for those darker moments when unity and togetherness seemed so far away. Then Catz N Dogz close the show themselves with a startlingly bright and dreamy take on 'Monde Réel'. Hopeful, fun, wholesome feel-good electronic music. Because Vhyce makes it so damned well. And because we all deserve to float again.

Last spotted on Pets playing cowboy and firing serious shots with his 'Lone Ranger' release, Brazilian maestro Renato Cohen makes a welcome return to Catz 'n Dogz imprint. And things are getting hot.

'Meltin' is pure, high grade, uncut funk. Bumping and thumping at an up-tempo 127, the whole groove is comprised by just a handful of elements, but the relationship between each ingredient and the space, brings such an interplanetary fatness you feel like you're driving inside the track.

Next up is the unmissable 'Drum Solo'. One of those golden tribal tracks that mixes in so well with absolutely any record you want to play it with and will get the whole crowd locked and fully focused. Would you expect anything less from the man who once famously gave us 'Sixteen Billion Drum Kicks'?

Last but definitely not least in this steamy, ultrafunkula menage-et-trios is 'Space Rockers'. Slinky, sleazy and well oiled, there's a mischievous filtered disco touch to this, but done with grittier 2021 cohones. Rocking? You will be.

Turn up that dial and make 'em sweat!

Fresh into a mid-pandemic summer of heartbreak and descending chaos, Ardalan and Nala each grappled with the frustrations of a love lost and the exhaustion tied to managing the insatiable insecurities of past lovers and friends.

Habits Die Hard represents a release for both artists as Nala shouts 'Oh, you're not perfect? Well, welcome to the party!' A chant designed to reclaim her own power after enduring the pain caused by hurt people who hurt people.

Inspired by their love for rock and dance music, Habits Die Hard is an ode to the indie sleaze aughts where artists like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Soulwax reigned supreme. Ardalan shines with a new flavor of rough and rugged sound design motivated by their joint love for punk rock.

Solomun steps up with an epic extensive take on the acid house bomb 'Kiki'. Weighing in at almost nine minutes, the Diynamic bossman supercharges us with a deep, physical, hypnotic space funk. Still acid house, but built for 2022 dancefloors, this one will explode in festivals over the summer.

Join the dots then dash it all to hell. Dynamic duo Shadow Child and Mark Archer link up once again for another rave romp 'Morse Code' and no amount of emergency messages are going to save our souls!

An absolutely awesome collaboration, the force between Shadow Child and Altern-8 don and all-round rave pioneer Mark Archer has been strong for some time now. First appearing on Super Rhythm Trax together under their MASC guise in 2018 with almighty techno headbutt 'Non Stop', they returned two years later in early 2020 with equally fired-up 'Return Of The MASC' EP. Both EPs were celebrated and savoured at the levels you'd expect.

Two years later and the pair return to our speakers this time on Catz 'n Dogz Pets imprint and they're armed with two more unruly late night tear-ups. 'Morse Code' hits with that classic detuned synth sound that smacks of a million Fantazias and is driven by a quirky, memorable spoken word sample. 'Toto' plays the consummate foil with a ridiculously bulbous and addictive bass riff that shines and slaps with the sound and energy of both artists.

Collabs of this weight and span are often misguided and don't quite hit the spot. But Mark Archer and Shadow Child have the perfect fusion that celebrates the last 30+ years of this culture and have enough diesel in the tank for the next 30, too. Time to crack some codes!

Breaking through in the midst of lockdown weirdness, rising talent Matt Klear is now coming into his own with his full-bodied blend of physical dance music and wide-armed eclecticism. This debut on Catz 'n Dogz Pets is no exception.

Two originals, two perfectly contrasting tales; 'Navsegda' lures us into his emotional world. A breezy breakbeat charmer with yearning cries and dreamy beats, it completely disarms you with its far-away cries and cloud-jumping pads. 

It's anchored by 'Yes'. Brilliantly succinct in both title and vibe, 'Yes' is a diesel powered rave weapon with widescreen bass, hardcore stabs and a relentless NYC warehouse style beat. It's galvanized by a crucial remix from Seb Zito where mutation and variation keep our minds and feet busy. 

Forever keeping things fresh, Pets have found a Klear winner here.

Sincopat bossman gets sync'd up with Pets for the very first time on this exceptional, high grade label debut - 'Raskayu'.

AFFKT has been affecting the dance for long enough to avoid any long-winded introductions. With releases on some of the biggest imprints in house and techno over the last 15 years (Mobilee, Stil Vor Talent, NeedWant, the list goes on), the Spanish veteran knows exactly what emotional buttons to press with his music and when to press them. From urgent to poignant at the flick of a switch, he's a man of drama and deep pulsating productions.

Productions like 'Black Crocanti'; an epic slab of electronic theatre, imagine a blend of Black Strobe, Digitalism and Tiefschwarz all rolled into one hefty swaggering electroid jam and you're on the right track. 'Voice Of Your Conscience' kicks just as hard, too. Even more big hip action with those loose strutting drums and psychedelic haze. Reminiscent of the big Marine Parade wig-outs of the mid 2000s, this is a fully immersive trip that your floor will totally lose their minds to.

Last but not least, 'New Paragraph' bids us adieu with serious emotional latency. Coming on with a strong Chemical Brothers flavour, there's a sentimental weight that brings the whole EP together and leaves us wanting more. Buen Viaje

AFFKT - Voice Of Your Conscience

The ideas and concepts of physical and spiritual reanimation come in many forms. For Catz 'n Dogz, 'Reincarnation' comes in the form of a late night 3am banger. A hypnotic, marching sojourn into a dusky unknown future set to the trembling, surging, jazzy horn weaves and a high voltage bassline that rises and rises until the life bar is back to 100%.

It's backed up with the equally powerful 'Shine'. A widescreen, chonked-out soul massage that charges through the speakers with the grace of a crowdsurfing rhino. A precision balance of carnage and euphoria, this is the benchmark for the energy and vibe Catz 'n Dogz will be operating at during this exciting, hallmark year.

'Rave History' is still pure dancefloor fuel, but with the original 'love-child of Chemical Bros and Prodigy' 90s vibe reworked by Frankfurt-based Maruwa (Lobster Theremin, X-Kalay, Shall Not Fade) with hard-driving beats, chopped-up war cries, twanging arps, and the sweet melodic synth upping the high energy levels even further.

Two of the scene's most exciting talents, Greek sensation ANGELOS and the rapidly ascending star TIMANTI, have joined forces for an exhilarating collaboration that will plunge listeners deep into the organic and percussive realms of House. Their Pets debut, 'Rhare,' is set to ignite dancefloors with its magnetic energy and infectious rhythm.

ANGELOS, fresh from a triumphant summer residency at Ibiza's Blue Marlin and a string of acclaimed releases for labels including Rebellion and Club Bad, joins forces with TIMANTI, who has been captivating audiences with their awe-inspiring DJ sets and a series of releases for Last Night On Earth, Selador, and Sondela.

With their electrifying collaboration 'Rhare', we have a track meticulously crafted around a foundation of a thunderous kick drum, soaring synths, and dramatic cascading stabs, to create a peak-time paragon that is destined to become a dancefloor weapon for so many..

Catz 'n Dogz are back with a bang, following the success of their recent 'Me Me Me' EP on Solomun's Diynamic imprint. With the title track still dominating the airwaves, Greg and Voitek are capping off another positive year with their brand new single, 'Asa.'

Known for their globe-trotting adventures and a deep appreciation for diverse cultures, Catz 'n Dogz have always looked to infuse their music with messages of positivity, love, and universal values. In recent years, the dynamic duo have also embarked on an exciting journey experimenting with different languages and vocals. With their latest single, 'Asa,' Catz 'n Dogz seamlessly weave these themes together, delivering a powerful message of love in Punjabi.

'Asa' in Punjabi translates to 'Hope,' and is derived from the saying 'Asa Ishq Da Buta Laya,' which encapsulates the concept of someone embodying the very essence of love.

Catz 'n Dogz's 'Asa' is more than just a track; it's a message of love extended to dancefloors around the world. With their ability to transcend linguistic barriers and bring people together through music, the duo once again show their unwavering commitment to spreading joy and unity.

21-year-old Justin Jay announces his Momentum EP, due out on Monday, March 16th via Catz' 'N Dogz' Pets Recordings. Nine months since his last EP, Instincts, on dirtybird, this Los Angeles native delivers a soundtrack from his last semester at University of Southern California  to show just how much he has matured over the last months, both personally and musically. Challenging himself to always take things one step further, Justin Jay continues to grow as an artist with sophistication, and expand his knowledge as a producer/DJ.

Produced in his college bedroom, Justin Jay's Momentum EP begins with hat tip to Motown's Gladys Knight & The Pips with "How I Knew," a hypnotizing deep house number with evolving bass lines, on-point percussion, and recognizable vocal sample. "Momentum," his second collaboration with fellow dirtybird, Kill Frenzy, follows to showcase the pair's affinity for driving, warehouse-ready techno with subtle intricacies. Closing out the EP with his buzzed about Mixmag Lab set opener, "You Give Me Butterflies," leaves listeners with carefree vibe driven by a smooth and dreamy house groove, accented with layered, mood-elevating synth work.

Justin Jay describes his Momentum EP in his own words:

How I Knew:
I don't have much to say about this one. I made it in my bedroom, and spent my fair share of late nights working on it pissing off my roommate who was trying to get rest for his midterms... (sorry Ulf!)

Momentum:
Producing "Momentum" with Kill Frenzy was a really cool learning experience for me. The idea for the song came together while Seb and I were kicking it on my living room couch playing weird sounds off of our lap top speakers, just having fun. When we sat down to properly produce the track, I kept on trying to add unnecessary ideas and overcomplicate the track. Sebastien helped me realize how simple an 8 minute song can be without getting boring - it's all in the details, although that's easier said than done. Finding the subtle changes that actually work was a long trial-and-error experience for me. It was ultimately super cool to hear how simple, yet satisfying the song was for us.
 
You Give Me Butterflies:
As I'm finishing up an incredible last year of college, and getting to do all of these amazing things in music, it's felt good making happy, lighthearted songs that really capture my mood these days. I've spent a large part of the last year exploring darker sounds and textures. I definitely want to continue experimenting in that direction, but I wouldn't want to neglect my goofy, cheerful side either. "You Give Me Butterflies" is a carefree day at the beach, spent with your friends, acting like 8 year-olds.

Time for a little neck bulging, slimy skin hip-slinking summer fun as a true craftsman steps from the studio shadows: Jay Shepheard, who’s back with a track that’s so infectious if you licked its back you’d trip for weeks.
Prepare yourselves for ‘Bullfrogging’: wry funk, warmth and humanised technoid soul. Taking a vocal texture then processing, harmonising and splicing the spawn out of it, Jay’s precision balance of electronic hustle and anthromorphised action has all the hallmarks for a summer anthem.
‘Early Doors’ follows suit and there’s a massive clue in the title… Soft-focused, warm, rolling and laced with textured chimes, it’s definitely tailored for those key transitions between warm-up and second gear. Deep, trippy but coded with a hookiness that grabs rather than soothes, once again it’s classic Shepheard but with a revitalised 2017 twist. Hey, he didn’t lock himself away in the studio for twelve months for nothing, right?
Neither did Jay’s long-time friend and neighbour Mark Henning; a man who hasn’t taken on a remix since the early 2010s. His return to the remix game is as poignant and powerful as Jay’s return to releases as he removes around 70 percent of the frog and maximises the bullishness of the elements, creating a relentless tribal slammer of a version that still retains the warmth and soul of Jay’s original.
Two returns to action, three killer tracks, one label you can always count on as your friend and no frogs harmed during the whole process. We’re pulling out some serious stops here.

Fresh from excursions on Gruuv and New Violence, Glaswegian Dalfie returns to Catz ‘N Dogz Pets with three more marching orders. Please stand to attention:
‘Outlaw’ sets the tone with a slinky synth bass groove, a shadow-creeping ambience and a neat sense of momentum that takes you unaware with subtle twists and diversions en route. An ideal opener or transition piece, ‘Outlaw’ whips up an atmosphere like no other.  ‘For It’ adds acidic petrol to the deep, dark fire. Slow-burning with a hip-slinking percussion-tinted groove, it gradually gets darker and darker as we creep further into Dalfie’s 303s. By the time we’re submersed in the breakdown our veins are nothing by circuits and frequencies run through them like blood.
For our final leg of the journey Dalfie leaves us in a brighter mindset with ‘Right Up’. Taking cues from both mid 90s Chicago and late 90s Paris, there’s an unquenchable funk woven deep into the filtered samples, pushing beats, carnivalian percussion and the lolloping bassline. Twisted in places, fluctuating in others, seriously vibrant throughout, this is a precision intersection of house, techno and disco all rolled into one seriously vibed-out party piece. Don’t be a stranger!

The outlaw returns… Dalfie is back on Pets with more marching orders and things are so intense he can’t even compute the gravitas of the situation.
By title, ‘Can’t Think Right Now’ could sum up so many mind states and situations around the world right now. By groove, it’s even more universal; warm, lucid, funky and peppered with psychedelic elements; don’t think, just act, just dance. 
‘Me Plus 1’ follows with another universal call to dancefloor action… And there’s space on the guestlist for everyone. Another rolling slab of unfettered groove, this time much darker, tribal and hypnotic, but loaded with a serious subversion midway; by the time this really kicks in you’ve lost your plus one and you won’t find them until the end of the night. 
Finally we close with a bang as ‘Revolver’ fires shots in all directions. Another warm, timeless analogue chugger, another brilliantly trippy twist midway, another example of why Dalfie keeps getting called back to Pets again and again. Tell us what you think…

Sun’s out, gun’s out: Pets fire shots into the silly season with this crucial joint from Rogue D and blondewearingblack and it comes complete with a killer Polymod remix. Two vibes for two sides of the party, this one goes both hard and deep…
With a shared discography on the likes of Defected, Hot Creations and Strictly between them, it was only a matter of time before kindred spirits Rogue D (aka Italian stallion Danny Minchella) and Ibiza-based singer/songwriter blondewearingblack linked up. The results speak for themselves…
Heavy hip-slinking bass, rolling jam-pumping drums and Plastic Dream style organ bubbles that truly pop around six minutes in, it’s the perfect hypnotic foundation for blondewearingblack to lay down her messages in her signature urgent-yet-sensual classic 90s style. In a nutshell: timeless house music that resonates with every single one of us. 
Looking for a little darker resonance? Look no further than Polymod’s take on proceedings. Harder, darker, faster and way more fractured, Shadow Child’s alter ego is waving his flag at full mast and epic quantities of acid for good measure. Absolutely brutal. 
Sun’s out, vibes out. It’s gonna be a hard, deep summer.

TEXT:
There are too many waves out there to ride someone else’s. Stay true to yourself and find your way…”
The positive connections continue as Catz ‘n Dogz update their Music Manifesto with the latest single from their well-received fourth album ‘Friendship’. Originally penned by aforementioned rising Raleigh artist ZenSoFly and her producer-in-crime Maxville, then developed with Catz ‘n Dogz, Zen’s lyrics will resonate deeply with every genuine creative bone in all of our body while the Pets bossmen whip up a jittering, bumpy, horn-poked groove that nods at the old Classic Music sound. The message is clear: make your own wave, be true to what you want to do and don’t put other people’s waves down. Life is too short to feel any other way. 
Life’s too short not to pay attention to these two extraordinary remixes, too. Each one rides its own totally unique wave; long-time compadre Justin Martin touches the crest with his light-footed jack, bubbling bass groove and sudden spasms of glitchy funk while Optimo-fresh Theus Mago continues his remarkable vein of form with an intergalactic sleazy sci-fi funk perspective. The original also comes with an inspiring feel-good video featuring Catz ‘n Dogz friends. More words of wisdom, this time for the Pets maestros themselves.
“Negative people often influence what we think about ourselves. It’s important to be happy with who you are and find happy moments even in the smallest things. That’s why we've decided to make a video to that track and ask our friends to spread good energy through dancing. Dance helps to reduce stress, anxiety and depression, dancing with others also helps to feel more connected and social. It’s not about being professional or the best at everything you do. It’s about finding the joy.”
More friends, more positive connections, more waves, more joy. The more the merrier. Long may these connections continue…

INFO: 
Rydim is a mystery. Well, partly… One thing that isn’t a mystery is the high level of acid house authenticity at play here. Dark, heads-down strobe light seduction with the focus squared firmly on the soul of the dance. 

‘FOMO’ lives up to its name thanks to some ominous reese craft. Purring savagely throughout the track, leaving space for the sinewy 303s to dance wildly, it sucks you right in and spits you back out into the lasers at speed. Miss it, miss out. 

Don’t miss either Johannes Albert’s remix or the Bass Tool either; the former maintains the acid but re-shapes the bass into a warmer vibe while the latter strips everything back to that growing, heated bassline. Both will leave everyone in the house happy… 

Finally we have ‘Fairlight’. A homage to the mother of all samplers? That’s another mystery to solve. But we do know it’s another beauty from Ridym; naked beats and bass with crucial pads woven in for optimum breath-takes, every rush any dancer has ever felt since the 80s is saluted and celebrated right here. Rydim is a dancer…

A long-standing operator on labels such as Future Disco and Boogie Angst, here we find the Belgian-based Portuguese-Italian making his debut on Pets with four blistering slabs of disco. A fine balance of groove, bass and cosmic nuances, we kick off with 'One Day We'll Float' where a bulbous party bassline springs from nowhere and instantly uplifts.

It's backed by plenty more goodtime gold: 'The Heart Take Fright' nods wryly at Yazoo while chugging from here to the horizon, 'Personal Numbness' is a much more contemplative, introspective jam while 'Electric Dreams' lives up to its name with a Moroder-like prowl that quickly turns into a full-on chase. Fast lane music for people who understand the importance of slowing down and taking care of yourself. Take our advice, make Vhyce your vice today.
