Decibel Festival preview: A house mix of many flavors from Polish duo Catz n Dogz

Catz n Dogz, previously known as 3 channels, formed by Wojtek Taranczuk and Grzegorz Demianczuk define their own style as a contemporary mixture of dance music. You are likely to find them playing disco/deephouse at the small parties they organise frequently in Berlin and Szczecin as well as techouse and techno at festivals and big clubs all over the world such as Fabric, Panorama Bar, Watergate, Studio 80… Grzegorz and Wojtek met in 2003 while working for local ABC radio channel and organising periodical parties called “Electronic House” at Mezzoforte club in Szczecin. They released their first record for Trenton in 2005. Since then their music has been on labels such as: Trapez, Crosstown Rebels, Pokerflat, Boxer, Dirtybird, Leena and their own Channels Records. Their music has been supported by many djs and played in many radio stations all over the world. The fame brought them the remix “ Who’s afraid of Detroit” ( currently available for 100 EU per EP ). They released their first album on Claude von Stroke’s label Mothership in 2008. It turned out to be a huge success and brought them the world tournee that took them to Japan, USA, South America, Ibiza and the best clubs in Europe. Currently they collaborate both with Mothership and Get Physical labels and launching second label PETS which aim is to promote polish artists. They started their own party “Pets Gone Wild” at the best club in Poland called SQ. They spent the last year working on the second album which they plan to release in May 2010, including collaboration with dOP, Pol_On, Claude von Stroke and Jazzanova’s vocalist Paul Randolph.
