It’s fitting that we have such a big release this week dropping from none other than GetCosy. This one feels like a big warm hug between friends, so let us paint the picture:

Cuddles coming from his right-hand side, we have CODES.. ooo so cosy!
Coming from the left-hand side we have we have Mr Russia, Mancodex... oooo so cosy!
Arms reaching from around the back, from LA we have Osker Wilde... oooooooo so COSY!
Hands running up and down your front we got the cutie SLATIN... OOOO SOO DAMN COSY!

GetCosy has really taken the word collaboration to a whole new level with this record. 

Fight For w/ Codes: Big Water Energy. with a slapping kick, bassy synths and naughty fidget vibes.
Morning Service w/ Mancodex: 'Relentless' groovy bass keeps this thing rolling into what ends up being such a sweet atmospheric breakdown. This one brings in all the feels.
Bad Beach w/ Osker Wilde: Bleep. Bloop Blop. This is jackin' energy from start to finish, the dancefloor energy we know you need.
Energy Vibe w/ SLATIN & Dread MC: ACID ACID ACID, CRUSH CRUSH CRUSH, ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY!
Lower Frequency Original (LFO): Finishing up we have an absolute STOMPER from Cosy himself. Full steam ahead, with the lowest of frequencies to melt your brain.

If this release was a hug itself it’d be from Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny and Buzz Lightyear all at once. Share the love!

BOC155 - Various Artists - Litterbox 13

Sunday mornings can be a bit rough, especially if you spend your weekends dancing until the early hours of the morning like we do. That's why you need a constant drip of hydrating music to get you through the next day, hence why we stay so constant with the music we put out. It's for you as much as it is for us.

This week (in drip form) we bring you B&E! These two have been on the grind for quite some time and their production shows it. Without complicating things, they have been able to craft two - and don't chin stroke us out of the room - 'techno bangers'. Not Alone is your straight up big room shit. Big kick, slamming bass and just enough vocals to keep the dance floor sweating. 'The Other' track is a deep cheeky cut featuring mind-bending synths and deep chords escorting you through the different chapters with ease, making this the perfect afterparty record.

Open up your veins and get ready for the latest injection from B&E on Box of Cats.

BOC156 - B&E - Not Alone / The Other

Box Of Cats Radio is a 1 hour broadcast showcasing all blends of HOUSE MUSIC! Wether its fat, thin, wobbly or straight, if we think its cool you will hear it on our show. 

We have guest DJ’s every month which so far have included A-Trak, VNSSA, Born Dirty, J Worra, Westend, Kyle Watson and many many more.

Who IS Box Of Cats? Well, Box Of Cats is a record label run by Wongo, Kyle Watson, Marc Spence, Jeff Doubleu, Tom EQ and Jak Z. This might sound like a mouthful but it really takes 6 A&R managers/label owners to create a record label that is truly unique to the music industry. This is our version of HOUSE MUSIC!

Box Of Cats Radio w/ Wongo

Hair is the first thing. And teeth the second. Hair and teeth. A man got those two things he's got it all" - James Brown

Hair... check.
Teeth... double check!
Mind-warping funk… bonus check
As soon as we hit play on this new jam our hairstyles spontaneously bloomed into glorious afros and we all of a sudden knew how to do the funky chicken. Guess that’s just the effect The Sponges have on mere mortals.

Funkier than an episode of Seinfeld, Jerry Brain is absolutely jam packed with The Sponges signature cuts, synths, funky fills and cheeky samples. Energy’s at an all-time high on this one as the funky wunderkinds Nik and Ryan whip out the guitar, strutting through what has got to be the funkiest breakdown of all time.

It's amazing to have the duo back with the BOC fam. To be honest we here at BOC needed a break from them what with all the heat they’ve been delivering to us here at the label. We agreed to see other people for a while, but we just couldn’t stay away.

It’s time to rekindle this magical relationship, and Jerry Brain might truly be what brings us back together.

Extended Mix

BOC111 - The Sponges - Jerry Brain *Out Now*

Google tells us that at the centre of the Earth the temperature can reach anywhere up to 4,400 degrees Celsius. Google also tells us that this new Kyle Watson release reaches temperatures that are even HIGHER than that! Here at BoC the sheer though of that is enough to get our moustaches just a little bit moist.

At his core (see what we did there?) Kyle Watson is without a doubt the drum wizard, layering the most peculiar sounds with his drums to create an organic feel that is unimaginable to most common folk. With drums being the main focus for this release, you know it's going to be something special. Spray on your best anti-perspirant before hitting play on Mammoth - you're bound to get a little hot under the collar as the howling lead guides you through this sample-based record. Wipe your brows and compose yourself because next up is Where's My Snare, which has been a staple in Kyle's streams over the last year. It's a big club record at heart, but somehow feels equally engaging on repeat as you drip dry your armpits at home.

While recording your cat being vacuumed or your wife washing the dishes may feel like another day in the office to Kyle, we're still gobsmacked at trying to guess where he comes up with these ideas for the most unique drums and production ideas in the game.

Hide your cats and prepare your sweat towels, because Kyle has done it again...

Kyle Watson - Where's My Snare

Kyle Watson - Mammoth

You ever download an entire 6 track release and play the whole thing from start to finish? No? Well prepare to, because that is what this B.O.T is all about!

With enough firepower to incinerate a small to medium-sized shed, this instalment of Box of Trax feels like a stick of dynamite. If Yosemite Sam was here, he'd rock up with a badass pair of headphones and an earache!

This round on BOT we have a crew of nonstop hitters for you. We kick things off with SLATIN’s Doubt Me – this world-class record hits on every occasion without fail. Kasto returns with a psychedelic little number, before FOOLiE and 96 Vibe enter with a track more saturated than a soggy cat. A newcomer to the label (but in no way new to the scene) is San Pacho, serving up a saucy number that may even make those little nipples of yours a bit hard.

One of our all-time favourite BOC artists is LOthief who graces us with a fidget/bass crossover record titled Pirate Snake, while GIANT & Vush’s stomper The Bay rounds off the compilation with weight and chunk. **Did we tell you GIANT has more heat coming up soon?

Load 'em up, throw 'em on your USB, and play them consecutively in the club, because they’re all hitters!

San Pacho - Hold Me (BOTRAX006)

Green Tree is here and he's here to stay. Like a bad smell some would say, but a smell you can't help but sniff. Its like parmesan. Absolutely delicious but kinda on the nose.

Well today he has dropped a whopper with cheese with Puppet On A String. A moody late night record with a mysterious vocal sets the tone for this one around a bumpy bassline and housey beat. Really vibing the feel of this one, we don't get too emotional here at BOC, but this one got us feeling a bit fuzzy.

What? Giant again! haha yes! We are loving his vibe and he's on this remix with some vibes club energy. Great use of the original sounds and a rolling bass really make this one a proper peaker. But keep those eyes peeled for our man Advent who's flying through the gates with his addition to the pack. Chunky and cheeky and clean. This has BOC written all over it!

Supplying the world with endless amounts of oxygen, may we present Green Tree!

Green Tree - Puppet On A String (Advent Remix) (BOC139)

Picture this. A volcano has just erupted and there’s pure molten lava heading straight for you. What do you do? Simple really, grab a shovel and scoop every last drop of it into your USB, because how could you let that good fire go to waste! That’s the whole idea behind the Litterbox compilations - a sandwich with every add-on and condiment you can imagine. Have you not heard the saying "Your ears are bigger than your belly"? Well, we have.

This time we have an array of new talent gracing the waves of BOC shelves. We got AGLF out of Italy, we got Bass Odyssey out of South Africa, we got Get Bad flying out of the USA. Its STACKED. We got Kasto coming back for another weapon, we got Mitch Dodge making his debut on BOC. We’re telling you, this is a big pack. Kyle Zuch, Strakosha, WOAK, Danner and Jon Warg.

If your USB hasn't melted already, you're lucky. Grab your shovels and we’ll try to keep the temperature just right so you can play them all weekend!

Jon Warg - Pills And Chill (BOC142)

Box Of Cats Radio - Episode 39 feat. manolo.

It’s shirts-off season here at BOC and we’re going to make the most of this sun! If a margarita is your choice then these are the tunes you wanna be pairing it with. Kinda like pizza and red wine, but at least 30% better.

Every freakin’ day and every freakin’ night - we got this one on repeat! Our newest addition to BOC has definitely been a long time coming since we’ve been heavy Sacha Robotti fans since day 1! Bringing in the support of JTJ & Edu K to round up the package, these two tracks are absolute heaters. Freakin Tight, a collab with the LA based JTJ, has that sexual feeling rolled around a summer house groove, while La Bomba featuring the Brazil native and old school punk rocker Edu K is a direct flight to Rio complete with an overpriced taxi to the beach. If you genuinely don't feel like taking your shirt off after listening to these tracks then please let us know as well will be removing you from the chat. 

So whip out that sunscreen, lather up and open a tab at the bar, because we know you'll be staying for longer than expected!

Box of Cats Radio - Episode 41 feat. Kyle Watson

Remember beepers? That late 80's technology of receiving a txt note on a little handheld machine. If you carried one of those back in the day you just meant business. You were slinging 50’s at the bar, shouting rounds before running back to work cause there was paper to be made. It was a way of taking your place in the hierarchy. These days we all have iPhones and Samsungs and it's hard to decipher who's where on the scale of good to great. In our case we use music, and we've deduced that this guy is a weapon!

We present to you David Herrlich, the most important person at Box of Cats this week with two club-ready weapons that, in our humble opinion, are worth calling up sick for work for. To be in the very presence of these songs is a gift in itself. Lay down the red carpet for the lead track No More with dank bass leads, mysterious vocals and synth stabs flowing in and out with simplicity. If this one's the perfect late night groove record then the b-side Burn is a straight house weapon. A slamming kick drum, diva vocals and classic M1 piano keeps this grooving from beginning to end. You don’t get a happy house piano line from us often, so take it!

Oh sorry, we have a message coming through on our beeper. It reads: “Stop whatever you're doing and click play on David's new release right now!" So yeah, we gotta go (and so should you)!

Kyle Watson - Harvard (BOC014) [Pilerats.com Premier]

Box Of Cats has always been a journey and boy has it been fun so far. We started in very humble beginnings only releasing our own records and then to signing young producers around the world and to now releasing music from our favourite artists and heroes of our own.

6 Months ago we started a mixtape series over our socials ‘B.O.T’ which stands for Box Of Trax. We wanted our artists to showcase what they love about music and Box of Cats. This means something different to everyone, so we wanted to get an idea of what that was and i think we figured it out!

We dont only release house music, we dont only release tech house, we dont only release BANGERS, but we do release music we believe in and that is not always the same ‘genre’.

So as a label for all shapes and sizes we have decided to make a new compilation series dedicated to the phat, skinny and everything in the middle. From that we welcome you to Volume 1 of the B.O.T.

First up we have Option4, Vanilla Ace & Dj Glen, Botnek, Monista, The Sponges and our very own label owner Jeff Doubleu.

There is something for everyone in this pack as you see some of our biggest artists hit the stage.

The Sponges - Make it Juicy! (BOTRAX01)

A long time ago in a galaxy far away lived Jedi. Their job was to keep the universe safe from the ever increasing threat of the Empire. Sadly, the Jedi were wiped out and the Empire took over the universe with its evil agenda. This left an unlikely duo from Miami Florida with no choice but to bear arms and strike the Empire head on.

This is really just a story of House Music vs EDM and how Nik and Ryan AKA ' @TheSponges ' took the world by storm with their hybrid form of catchy disco hooks and infectious house grooves. 

After their first hit record "Make It Juicy!” which garnered support from Malaa, Jauz, AC Slater, Motez, Destructo, Aston Shuffle, Ardalan, Golf Clap, Marc Spence and many many more, the boys bring you their debut EP. 

I Can Dance and Space Funk '75 are both in their own rights lead singles but for you, the listener, we could not hold onto these any longer. That would not be fair. As well as these, on the flip we have label boss Jeff Doubleu putting a dark twist on Space Funk '75. A real 4am jam. 

Trying to convince you in a few paragraphs how unique this EP is wouldn't be enough. It would be like trying to convince a Star Wars fan that Jar Jar Binks deserved his lead roll in Episode I... But unlike Jar Jar, The Sponges are here to stay.

The Sponges - Space Funk '75 (BOC061)

We pride ourselves on listening to every demo we are sent which means no dope track will slip between the cracks. This is a big process but is extremely rewarding. Litterbox has always been a great way to showcase the vast array of demos we are sent. Its a way to bring like minded producers, listeners and dj's together and showcase all styles of house music in one tidy package. This release is almost entirely fresh faces which goes to show how many artists are doing it right!

We suggest closing your eyes, grabbing a frothy one and pressing play on what is definitely our biggest and most unique compilation to date.

A21 & PepperMan - Skeptic (BOC069)

After the last 5 months, if you don't KNOW The Sponges, you have certainly unknowingly heard them. With only one official release under their belt it’s hard to think how they have garnered such huge support like Chris Lake, Destructo, Walker & Royce, Justin Martin, Kyle Watson, Vnssa and many many many more. They were even the soundtrack to a viral twitter video...

Their second solo release ‘Funked Up’ is what you would expect. Its crammed full of funk, grit and cheeky unknown samples. If James Brown produced Tech House, this is him. Rather than us prove to you how cool we are in describing their sound design, we want you to jump in head first and hear it for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Put your Adidas Shell-Toes on because when this bad boy breaks down, so will you.

The Sponges - Funked Up (BOC072)

Without consistently recording the atmosphere, it is impossible to say with certainty how often astroids collide. We can although make assumptions from what we have recorded in the past. 

We now know this has happened at least twice in our lifetime. Planet Earth (Canada to be specific) was lucky enough to have both these otherwise catastrophic events happen right above festival goers in both 2017 and 18. The remnants of the astroid dust sprinkled down onto the shoulders of three of the coolest producers out there.

@rrotik and @Smalltowndjs 

Some say it was fate, some say it was luck but we can say with 100% certainty, this is fact. The boys have transformed this event into a two tracker for you guy which is out of this world. 

Dance With Me is an absolute club banger from beginning to end while Do You Want Me takes you a bit deeper into their moody sides. Some say these astroids get you high. Maybe this is the bi-product of some crazy trip they went on together.

We are very happy to have these guys join the family at BOC for the first time and what hopefully won’t be the last. 

Enjoy
Team BOC
