Factory 93 marks its 100th release with House Katz, a new collaboration between DJ Minx and Kevin Knapp. Out now, the track brings together two key voices in American house music, and delivers a no-nonsense club cut that sticks to the essentials—low-end pressure, vocal identity, and rhythm that knows what it’s doing.
This is the first official studio release from the two artists, although they’ve previously crossed paths on remix work. House Katz lands as a deep, tightly-built single that feels like it was written for late slots and locked-in floors. No gimmicks, no drag—just a fully functional house track from two artists who’ve built careers on staying grounded in their sound.
Two Scenes, One Direction
DJ Minx comes in with decades of influence rooted in Detroit’s house and techno lineage. Her label Women on Wax and continued presence in the scene have made her a longtime connector, not just in terms of sound, but community. Kevin Knapp brings his own lane—vocal-led productions, label leadership through Plump Recordings, and a long-running presence from Berlin to the West Coast.
Together, they keep the structure minimal and the impact high. The drums don’t overreach, the groove stays centered, and Knapp’s vocal takes land with the kind of clarity that works on loud systems without needing layers of reinforcement. It’s stripped back, but not empty. Every element earns its place.
A Milestone That Reflects the Label
Factory 93 has grown into one of the most consistent North American outlets for club-focused house and techno. Reaching 100 releases is less about the number and more about what’s behind it—years of releases built for rooms, not algorithms. House Katz is a fitting checkpoint. It’s led by artists with legacy, it holds up under repeated plays, and it doesn’t try to be something it’s not.
This track isn’t aiming to start trends. It’s serving the DJs, the dancers, and the sound systems. That’s what Factory 93 has always leaned toward, and this release continues that direction without hesitation.
House Katz is available now across all platforms. It’s a single track drop, but it hits with the weight of a full EP. For anyone who’s followed Factory 93’s catalog or either of these artists’ careers, this one’s easy to lock into. Don’t overthink it—queue it up, spin it loud, and let it ride.
