Just ahead of starting the first leg of their U.S. tour, Cat Dealers have released a monumental record to supercharge their sets with. Reworking their own 2021 collab with Dragonette, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano and Bruno Martini, the Brazilian brothers dropped a club-tailored rendition of ‘Summer Thing’ that will surely take center stage during Brazilian carnival at the end of February.
After the success of 2021’s ‘Summer Thing’ and the remixes from Kryder and Le Bisous, Cat Dealers target dance floors across the globe with a big rendition of their own. Thoroughly pushed into a club dimension, this remix from the Brazilian brothers will surely amplify any clubber's nighttime experience.
“Although we love to produce a lot of different stuff, ‘Summer Thing’ is one of the songs that strayed a little from our identity,” Cat Dealers say. “The idea of the remix came with the intention of bringing a version that matched more with our sets: something more energetic and clubbier."
Formed by the brothers Lugui and Pedrão, Cat Dealers are among the hottest acts in today’s international electronic music scene. The pair cultivate the second largest YouTube channel of the Brazilian electronic music scene with more than 880,000 subscribers, have a Spotify following of over 2.5 million monthly listeners and racked up hundreds of millions of streams on Soundcloud, Spotify, Deezer and other streaming platforms in a few years’ time. As the current #66 DJs of the world according to DJ Mag’s most recent Top 100 DJs poll, they touched down on all five continents, playing in venues in the United States, China, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Australia, South Africa, Ireland, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Italy, Portugal, Poland and even Spain, where they opened for David Guetta at Medusa Festival 2018. Now, the pair are about to embark on a full-scale U.S. tour.
