Celebrating a milestone in style, Pavement Special, a dynamic project by Box of Cats founders Wongo and Kyle Watson, drops “The Key” as the label’s 200th release. This tech house anthem is more than just a track—it's a statement on the spirit of Box of Cats, a label built on friendship, passion, and a dedication to championing quirky, off-center sounds in the electronic music scene. “The Key” brings together the bold, energetic elements that define the label, showcasing just why Box of Cats has become a unique force in underground music since its SoundCloud beginnings over eight years ago.
“The Key” packs in everything that Wongo and Watson are known for: pulsing basslines, infectious grooves, and a touch of fun that sets it apart. The track seamlessly fuses influences from tech house, underground grooves, and genre-blending quirks that feel unmistakably Box of Cats. It’s playful but precise, inviting listeners to let go and feel the energy of the dancefloor. As with their 100th release, the label owners have again combined their best ideas to create a track that’s both a nod to their past and a testament to their future.
Box of Cats, founded by Wongo, Kyle Watson, Jak Z, Tom EQ, Jeff Doubleu, and Marc Spence, has always been a platform for emerging, genre-defying artists. Their ethos? To push music that’s fresh, fun, and a bit left-of-center. With “The Key,” Pavement Special captures this ethos perfectly, promising not only to keep us dancing today but well into the future. Here’s to Box of Cats and the endless beats still to come!
