CATZ 'N DOGZ - Remixed by Roman Fl?gel,DJ Steaw,Pional,Lawler (Sealed) (12")

Deeper again we're treated to an exceptional twist of their Green Velvet collaboration 'Keep On' as LAWLER injects a springy, molten momentum to the elements with a salubriously loopy machine funk feel. Finally, for good measure, Jonathan Kasper wraps up their 2016 spiritual trip 'Elixir' with a new sense of conga-riddled, bass-licked momentum. Still reaching the highs when you least expect it to, the pay-off keeps giving and giving. A little like this whole EP. These are what remixes were invented for...
