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.

As the year winds down and people begin to Google 2022 star signs, we look to positive affirmations to guide us out of this year. One affirmation we put into our 2021 universe was a collaboration between Arnold & Lane and Dipzy. Some call it a coincidence, but we call it fate.

The lead record 'My Fault' is as creepy as it is effervescent as a sharp bumpy bass sits under shuffled drum patterns sprinkled with quirky FX & vocals. Have you ever read your horoscopes and thought ‘no way, that’s just not me’? Well, that's the b-side 'Bloop'. It’s a straight-up big middle finger to the stars. Big bass, loopy vocals, sine waves, and enough tension to slice a piece of cheesecake.

Whether you believe Zodiac signs or some old bird reading your palms, when Pluto aligned with the Southern Cross, we knew this was coming our way!

Arnold & Lane x Dipzy - My Fault (BOC128)

We can’t tell you how excited we get when we hear new music from Rob Marion. I think in our last release with him we boasted about his world-class production, but we still feel like that's underselling this guy. He is WORLD CLASS! Gosh darn it, can you not hear us? We said WORLLDD CLASSS!!! And if you actually read our little release bio's you would know we don't say this often…

With enough Rhodes to fill a small village and spook a miniature horse, Rob has done it again with these two A-sides. Every sound is well-thought-out and expertly maneuvered to create art that feels full without being overcomplicated. Formant-bending vocals, layering into vocoders into sweet delays, while traveling from beats to bass and back again. These are special records. 

We won't bat on anymore about it as we think you need to listen yourself. Dive into Rob Marions Mothership!

Since the beginning of time we've had all kinds of people we look up to, whether they be emperors, kings or even messiahs. During this Earth cycle though we have only one person we look up to, and that is daddy Kyle Watson.

With his spanking music production, cute jawline and strange accent, Kyle has been ripping since 2007. There is no doubt that 2023 saw Kyle hit new heights playing gigs like Coachella, Lights All Night and every other sick gig under the sun - but honestly that really was only the beginning…

The Climb is a revisit to that dark side of Kyle we all love to hear. Just like a slap on the bum from your mummy, this club tracks sick drums and Moog-y baseline leave a red mark. If you behave and listen at low volumes it might not hurt, but that’s no fun :P

This one’s legit and exactly what you were waiting for, so dive in folks!

Kyle Watson - The Climb

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have had to established contact with The Sponges again. Through the power of Starlink and the radiowaves of anything below 125BPM, we were able to hear fragments of what Space Funk '75 once was on the 20th February 2019.

Over 5 years on, this track continues to live and breathe in an ecosystem of electronic music thats unforgiving and usually brutal. This is truely a legacy track not only for Box of Cats but for an era of music lovers that decided to create memories on the dance floor in the past few years. We truely believe that this will continue into the future when we have flying cars and Spotify chips in our brains.

Today The Sponges have delivered one of their most sought after ID's which is their Space Funk '75 remix. They have been playing it for years at their 'bush-doofs' but now it's time for everyone to get their hands on it. Think of it as your first time tripping at the Fractal Forest at Shambhala and you realise dance music doesn't have to be house music? Woah!

Anywho, we love these guys, we love this song and thats enough getting sentimental. Enjoy the glitchy VIP!

Every time we sit down to write one of these release bios for Wongo it feels like we’re trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube while blindfolded. I mean, how does a guy who parties harder than a toddler on sugar manage to keep enough brain cells intact to churn out absolute bangers? Honestly, it’s impressive.

But in all seriousness, Wongo has turned into something of a hermit these days—spending 90% of his time in a dark room with just two speakers and a MacBook Air. It’s like he’s the electronic music version of Batman, but instead of fighting crime he's fighting CPU overload while battling an overly aggressive kick drum.

Thankfully he won the battle, and the result is 'Kamikazi'! Featuring a vibe straight out of the 2005 electro house bible blended with a sick vocal, what emerges is a delicious 2024 club-ready rinser that will work early, late or even at kick ons.

It's all play and no work with this guy. So enjoy and let this get your juices flowing!

Kamikazi

From bottom to top, side to side, you’d better get that funk'n body in shape for this absolute belter from our brothers from other mothers, The Sponges. Overcomplicating bios about songs is definitely our forte—we all know that—but this time, we want to get down to brass tacks.

This track is big, fat, juicy, thick, round, plump, and packed with enough custard to burst from the edges. This is what Nik & Ryan do best. The track oozes swag and has been filling dance floors across the US for over a year. You don't need us telling you all this, by now you well and truly know what these guys are about.

They’ve been gate keeping their ID's, but we say enough is enough. It’s time for 'What’s Wrong With Me?' to finally hit the shelves!" Welcome back to the fold for 2025!

What's Wrong With Me?

The Sponges - What's Wrong With Me?

You ever get that feeling you've experienced something before even though you haven't? Sounds like Dejavu, except this time it’s not your mind playing tricks on you. It’s just the big man Simenga dropping in with a heavy new single.

Safe to say that when we hit play on this for the first time we were immediately hooked. This track really takes you on a journey, a journey that you may just have been on before… Or have you??

Dejavu is an all-round slammer but its strengths are in its raw percussion, heavy kick and thick 808 bassline - all the perfect ingredients of a stomper.

Welcome back Simenga, we love having you here!

Simenga - Dejavu

You know when you get so frustrated sometimes you feel like you gotta release some steam? Well Joanna Magik & Smalltown DJs have created the perfect track to help solve that problem, but instead of building up that negative energy how about just hitting play on this whomper of a tune to kickstart you back into equilibrium?

This track takes the classic acid vibe and carves it into a futuristic club thumper with a thick rolling acid bassline, weighted 808 kicks, dirty synth stabs and a vocal with the sauce turned up to eleven.

Big ups Joanna Magik & Smalltown DJ’s, this collab was just meant to be!

Joanna Magik & Smalltown DJs - Kick Something

We spend a lot of time in the office, giving each other pats on the back when we sign new records—cracking open a beer and celebrating the music we get to share with the community. But with Simenga, it’s not just cracking a beer. It’s doing a full-blown Shoey.

Praising Simenga is only part of the job, though. Giving him a platform to showcase his incredible talent is the real reward. His track Dejavu is one of our all-time favorite BOC tracks, and he has absolutely delivered with this follow-up single, Open Mind.

Open Mind features mind-blowing sound design. Synths that are out of this world, vocal chops that’ll spin you around, and a kick drum that feels like it’s falling out of your headphones. There’s so much to take in with this record that you’ll need to listen to it a few times.

We’re here to party, so take off your rave-trodden sneaker, fill it with beer, and send that thing straight down the hatch! Simenga is back!

Simenga - Open Mind

It’s the 1980's. Your hat’s on backwards, you’re rocking ripped denim jeans and you’re ready to rebel. You pop in your latest cassette, and it’s the most gangster record you’ve ever heard. It’s got you cutting shapes down the street, flipping off the cops as you throw your last fks you have to give out the window. This is exactly how the new Kyle Watson record makes us feel.

It’s a slap in the face to the pretty things in life. If you’re a flower, I’d suggest you run. But if you’re a ho, this is your time to shine.

“At Ya” is a nasty track packed with a thick bassline and chunky drums, all sprinkled with the signature K Watson energy you’ve come to expect from the maestro. Let the tune do the talking—just hit play.

Big ups, Kyle. This thing is a weapon!

At Ya

Kyle Watson - At Ya

Wow... It’s happening! We’re launching our new sub-label, Box of Trax! This has been a long time coming, and we’re beyond excited to finally share it with you. This project is something we’re incredibly passionate about, and now—it’s HERE! YAY!

Over the years, Box of Cats has carved out its own signature sound, becoming a go-to destination for bass-heavy house music. But sometimes, we come across a track that we love but doesn’t quite fit our usual lineup. That’s where Box of Trax comes in.

This new label is all about nurturing talent, expanding our sonic horizons, and bringing more energy and diversity to YOU—our community!

And now, onto our FIRST RELEASE! We are absolutely buzzing to kick things off with a heater from the incredibly talented Max Kaluza. This track swings harder than Babe Ruth, grooves like no other, and hits exactly how a proper tune should. That bass? It’s got us feeling SO HIGH!

It’s an absolute pleasure to launch this label today, and we can’t wait to watch it grow. Big love to EVERYONE who’s been part of this journey and continues to ride with us. Let’s send it!

Steve Gerard & ZOF are no strangers to the BOC family; at this point, they’re kind of part of the furniture. Not the kind of furniture you'd find in a house, though—the kind you'd find at the afters. A sluggish old couch, a few stains (of unknown origin), and a coffee table covered in the past 24 hours of mischief. If these walls could sing, they’d sound a little like this new banger, Obsession.

The track itself is a dark groover, set behind the seductive vocals of Zoë Roubanus, aka ZOF. Steve and ZOF have sculpted the perfect record out of their sessions together, delivering a track that will stand the test of time and fit into nearly any set. Featuring detuned keys, clever sampling, and a locked bassline, it’ll have you lost on the dance floor. This one's a true ‘eyes closed’ tune you could listen to on repeat for hours.

This dream team is onto something hot, and they ain’t playing games, they’re playing with beats, bass, and all the good stuff we know we want. Let’s rip!

All aboard the Simenga Express — stopping only at your ears and your feet. Once you feel this locomotion flying past, you’ll be gobsmacked.

Topping off Simenga’s great start to the year, we have Train Tooool — a hefty Chi-town house weapon with chunky-as-hell drums and enough train samples to make you feel like you're on platform 12 at Waterloo Station.

Deja Vu and Open Mind make a final appearance, finishing off this amazing EP in style. For an electronic producer, there really isn’t anything Simenga can’t do — and it shows in the incredible range of these tracks.

We love you, Big S. Keep ’em coming — and mind the gap!

Simenga - Train Tooool

Why are Russians so fast? Because they're always rushin'...

Probably not our best work, but surely someone found it funny?

What isn't funny, though, is this new beast from Mancodex. ‘Amen Baby’ carries that unique Codex swagger we've come to know from the man himself. Dark tones, never-before-heard synth sounds, and processed vocals—if we were trying to contact aliens, we’d probably reference some of the sounds in this track.

We're always super impressed with Mancodex's take on dance music and what can come from a country so far away, all the way at the top of the planet.

Amen Baby!

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.
