Various 'Home Is Where The Pool Is 2' (Pets Recordings)
Catz and Dogz’ seminal Pets Recordings aims to rinse the last out of the hot weather with this collection of sleazy, slinky summer sounds. First up is Eats Everything with the sought-after dub version of ‘Chitter Chatter’, which he’s recently been dropping in his sets. The detuned key stabs in the breaks will stop you in your tracks alongside its shuffling peak-time groove. Gemini’s 1997 cut ‘On This Planet’ also gets a re-rub by Walker and Royce, who bring the original up-to-date with their jacking swing version. Stefano Ritteri then soundtracks a late-night beach bar with his lovely ‘In Thin Air.’ Finally, Hercules And Love Affair comrades Kim Ann Foxman and Shaun J Wright re-unite with a peak-time New York jam.
