Closing out the EP is ‘Wake Up,’ a widescreen and atmospheric cut filled with intricate details. The track boasts a taught bassline, haunting vocals that echo within the mix, and sweeping synths that create a dramatic and futuristic ambiance. ‘Wake Up’ showcases Catz ‘n Dogz’s ability to craft full-flavored house tracks with a dark soul and forward-thinking designs.
