Omanko is the only word that is unmentionable in Japanese media and public speech. It’s also the next single from Catz ‘n Dogz - a strange hybird of cinematic swells, quirky natural drums and popping guitar plucks. Its unorthodox groove builds relentlessly, anchored by a shouting chorus and warm bass bubbles that swell from the depths like some massive ancient sea creature. They take their time building to the climax, finishing the track with late-entering keyboard theme that quickly swirls into a frenzy. Perfect for tipping that peaktime crowd over the edge! The Italoboyz remix completely remolds the groove to fit their distinctive vision, seamlessly integrating shards from the original into their tension-fuelled agenda. Breakdowns of varying sizes dominate the sonic landscape, as their annihilating kick plays hide and seek with the strings throughout the track. Finally, all the elements are reunited by the echo-drenched vocal line and percussive baritone sax stabs – a satisfying finale to this latenight masterpiece.
