Box of Cats unveils its final release of the year with the Litterbox 17 compilation, showcasing emerging talent in bass and tech house.
In today’s dance music landscape, it’s essential for labels to spotlight new and emerging talent. Box of Cats has consistently championed up-and-coming artists through its Litterbox series, and Litterbox 17 continues this tradition.
This latest compilation marks the conclusion of a significant year for the label, which has released around 25 tracks in 2024 and celebrated its 200th label release in November. Curated by the talents of Wongo, Jeff Doubleu, Jak Z, Kyle Watson, and Tom EQ, Litterbox 17 showcases innovative production techniques and artists who are pushing the limits of bass house and tech house.
The nine-track compilation radiates energy from the outset, kicking off with Holt and Bass Odyssey‘s track “Shivers.” As soon as the female vocal enters, listeners are welcomed by a groovy bassline. Danz follows with “All Night,” a true tech house anthem that gets the dancefloor moving, while MARDI MAYHEM adds a vocal-driven touch with the catchy bass house track “High & On The Run.”
Dino Munaco raises the intensity with “Drip,” an energetic big room bass house selection that’s sure to get you dancing. JBoog introduces “Muhfuka,” a standout track featuring glitchy vocal chops and distinctive synth work. Enrique Gongora continues with “Alright,” presenting a dreamy vocal layer alongside skippy hi-hats before Kapuzen elevates the energy once more with “Mystic.” This seven-minute track pulls listeners into its hypnotic groove, complemented by spoken-word vocals reflecting an underground essence.
Lowez embraces a raw vibe with “DIRRRTY,” a track characterized by skipping beats and rolling bass that evokes late-night warehouse scenes. RJW closes out Litterbox 17 with “You Better Come Get It,” tying the compilation together with a dance-inducing bass house feel that serves as a fitting conclusion.
Box of Cats establishes itself as a label that knows how to make an impact, scratching the surface of new horizons and seizing emerging talent like a true feline tastemaker. If you’re searching for innovative tracks from hidden gems, Litterbox 17 is the ideal release to explore this season.
