Can't Stand by Catz 'n Dogz feat. ZenSoFly

A pairing whose renowned reputation has been built and shaped across an illustrious career, Polish duo Grzegorz Demiañczuk and Wojciech Tarañczuk, aka Catz' n Dogz, have been serving up their own diverse and varied take on the house genre for more than fifteen years. Founders of their own Pets Recordings imprint, in that time, they have released on esteemed labels, from Diynamic to Defected, Glitterbox to Watergate, and more, while playing at almost every major club and festival across the globe. Their fresh in-between sounds and knack for creating curious and impactful sounds have made them the scene's mainstays. That run of stellar releases continues here with a debut appearance on Crosstown Rebels as they link with ZenSoFly for "Can't Stand" - with longstanding German favorite Robag Wruhme on remix duties.

Opener "Can't Stand" sees the pair reunite with vocalist ZenSoFly, a talent they've worked with on notable hits like "Wave." Her vocals bring soul and attitude over a tight, rubbery, and sleazy house beat, underpinned with a heavy bassline - providing the sort of chunky cut to lock in a dancefloor and make it march in unison.

Robag Wruhme has been a Pampa label mainstay and famously curveball producer for many years with his scintillating blend of minimalism, melody, and unusual sound sources. That is the case again with this remix, a dark workout that hurries along on snappy drums, detuned vocals, and buzzed-up, droning synths to ensure maximum impact.

The EP is closed out with "Wake Up," a widescreen and atmospheric cut packed with detail. The bassline is taught, freaky vocals echo within the mix, and synths spray about to dramatic effect, delivering another whole flavor house cut with a dark soul and futuristic designs.
