CATZ ‘N DOGZ

Catz ‘n Dogz is the duo of Grzegorz ‘Greg’ Demiańczuk and Wojciech ‘Voitek’ Tarańczuk, both DJs and producers of electronic music. They are from Szczecin, where they met and began their music career. In 2003, they played Szczecin ABC radio, and after work they organized small events focused on modern dance music.

They initially went by the name 3 Channels, under which they released their first songs. Their music has appeared on European labels, beginning with Trenton Records, before releasing material with Crosstown Rebels and Trapez Ltd. Their early songs are much more raw then their current efforts, which have moved in the direction of hypnotic minimalism. The sound of 3 Channels is difficult to characterize, consisting of single, looped music, scratches, and metallic clashes lightened by the warmer sounds of synthesizer and sampled vocals.

Their real breakthrough came with the remix of Who’s Afraid of Detroit by Claude Von Stroke, a popular producer of techno and the owner of two record labels – Dirtybird and Mothership. Von Stroke was attracted to the remix of his work and offered to collaborate with the Polish DJs.
