Dutch DJ duo W&W have once again set the internet ablaze, this time with their latest viral phenomenon: the OIIA Cat. Ethel, the blind rescue cat from Ohio and the quirky star of green-screen spinning memes, has not only captured the hearts of millions online but now also inspired a high-energy dance anthem.
Debuting the track during their spectacular NYE show, W&W transformed the countdown into an unforgettable Cat Rave, fusing their signature festival sound with Ethel’s meme-worthy spins. The performance clip quickly went viral, racking up over 85 million views in just 48 hours and uniting ravers and cat lovers worldwide.
Ethel’s journey from a rescue shelter to viral fame is as heartwarming as it is unexpected. Her charming spins have become a global sensation, with proceeds from the track going towards her care and supporting the Cat Welfare Association, the Ohio-based non-profit that rescued her.
As global icons in electronic music, W&W are no strangers to making waves. Known for their unique blend of euphoric trance melodies, heavy techno beats, and harder styles, they’ve captivated festival crowds for over a decade. With more than 12 million monthly listeners on Spotify, a loyal following of 10 million across social media, and consistent rankings in DJ Mag’s Top 25 DJs, W&W continue to shape the sound of modern dance music.
Beyond their performances, the duo’s influence extends to their Rave Culture label and NWYR trance alias, further cementing their role as pioneers in the electronic scene. With OIIA Cat, they’ve taken an internet meme and turned it into a dancefloor anthem that celebrates the intersection of music and meme culture.
This isn’t just another track—it’s a celebration of creativity, community, and the power of internet sensations to bring people together. Whether you’re a raver, a meme enthusiast, or a cat lover, W&W’s latest release is one you won’t want to miss.
