‘Dog Days’ dropped in 2003 as the preliminary single off his debut album ‘Leave Luck to Heaven’ and packed a buoyantly poppy punch that placed Matthew Dear solidly in the center of the techno map. 

At five years old, it’s time for this dancefloor favorite to get a makeover from French house label Robsoul members DJ Sneak, Phil Weeks and Chris Carrier.

Sneak adds his own wonky twist of twang, punctuated with whistles and his signature Chicago feel in the ‘420’ rework.

Phil Weeks pulls the rhythm over a rubbery loop in a more minimally-minded and stripped back style, while Chris Carrier cuts it up and dubs it out on the B-side, fading the vocals in and out in a ghostly kind of way and sprinkling the arpeggiated synth throughout.
