the funk trust

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.

Walking Around (Original Mix)

Against All Odds (ft phil Collins) MOTH UK REMIX

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 - I Can Dance (BOC061)

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.
