The new EP from The Black Dog, titled 'Detroit vs Sheffield', has made single of the month in DJ Magazine this month. The EP includes two remixes from Detroit legend Robert Hood and one from Sheffield young-gun The Bass Soldier.

Full review text is below:
"Taken from the Black Dogs outstanding album "Radio Scarecrow" the DogSquad recruits Robert Hood to remix their track "Autobahn" Robert Hood delivers 2 remixes: the first being a beatless epic masterpiece of the finest electronic music I have heard in a long time. DJ's looking for a club mix need not be disappointed as the 2nd remix comes up trumps in true Hood minimalism style for the dancefloor. A killer release."
