Wetdog presents their brand new Press Play Enter EP on the Rub A Duck imprint, featuring the titles "Aix", "When", "Meanwhile", "Aura" and "Knocking The Fade Out".
Ever since the release of their singles "Dopamine" and "Drunk Girls Eating Tosti's", the producer duo behind Wetdog has earned a rock solid reputation. The two manage to creat tracks that offer an alternating but contemporary view on electro-techno music, both in their productions and live DJ sets. Always delivering with a raw and penetrating sound that inevitably leads to a banging peak moment, Wetdog builds arrangements with plenty of enticing variation for the dancefloors.
Wetdog's trademark arrangements are perfectly showcased in "Aix"; a cut that offers a unique, melodic break and a slowing down drum program, Lil' Louis style. On "When" it's time for some serious electro, in which the percussive beats form the perfect foundation for Wetdog's insane synth programming that just seems to keep going. Then there's the exceptional "Meanwhile". Comparable to vintage productions by Jan Hammer, the legendary composer known from the Miami Vice series, "Meanwhile" could easily have been part of the soundtrack for the movie "Drive" and stands out because of its smooth chord changes and a subtle melody line that would make Ryan Gosling's high powered car chases look even faster. Words like ultra chill, over exposed images, travels and a summery 80s feel all apply.
Things will finally get pretty hot when "Aura" kicks off. DJs should be aware of the ultra low sub-bass, because this one is a serious workout for your woofers. Featuring a nice break with some serious string work, "Aura will definitely kick ass. "Knocking The Fade Out" then treats us with a classic sounding techno banger that brings back memories of Mr Oizo's "Flat Beat". Wetdog's EP invites to only one thing for every DJ: Press Play. Enter!

Dimitri Kechagias review: Wetdog is one of the hottest new names in the EDM scene and definitely their brand new EP Press Play. Enter! will testify even further that this project has bright days ahead if we judge from their skill to compose their unique brand of energetic electro house sound that is dynamic eclectic, infectious and highly danceable. Aix is the first track that starts quite minimal but very soon erupts into a massive driving electro style track with unique rhythm. The stand out element of When is the female vocal sample that sounds like coming from a movie soundtrack. Top notch electro house with the main melodic theme recalling Daft Punk tracks. Meanwhile is the more laidback. Its starts with long atmospheric intro and then goes for a playful electro house section with trancy melodic theme in the breakdown as well. Aura is the more energetic on that EP with raw and rough basslines and relentless build up that is hard to resist it and not to dance along with it. Pure adrenaline charger that can be played within electro house/nu rave or epic prog house sets. Lastly on this must have EP is Knocking The Fade Out. It starts all chunky and very cool and funky but after the first breakdown a video game style theme is revealed. The second breakdown unleashes a siren like climax of video game melodies and when the rocking beat comes back better get ready to rock it for a maddening crescendo. Wetdog are brilliant and I hope some vocal productions soon as well. Love iT!
