KiNK, Catz ‘N Dogz – Love EP
With what looks like a summer heatwave on the horizon, it seems right to call on dirtybird’s European extension to deliver a sun-drenched dance floor stormer to see in the new season.
The two track ‘Love’ EP sees Catz ‘n Dogz join forces with the ever-innovative KiNK, a pairing that has proved striking in the past year after KiNK’s beautiful ‘Follow The Step’ release on the Polish duo’s label, Pets Recordings. ‘Good Love’ packs an instant punch as a hefty house bass line bangs with all the filth youd expect from the dirtybird associates.
KiNK infuses his innate sense of liveness into the production, particularly felt in the drum work which smacks, crunches and kicks with a crispness that is hard to imitate. The effect-loaded vocal loop is what gives ‘Good Love’ its hedonistic, midsummer flavor, driving the track straight to set climax selection territory for anyone with a penchant for the deep and dirty.
The ‘Bad Love’ mix falls into techier territory, as the distorted beat fizzes and crackles with a masterful touch of vitality. Just as heavy and arresting as the A side, this is the sort of bad love that feels too good to decline.
Characteristically classy, with a generous helping of bass, expect this Catz ‘n Dogz and KiNK collaboration to be working out dance floors for the foreseeable future.
