CATNAPP

In the organizer's words:

While CATNAPP, aka Amparo Battaglia, describes her music as as poppy as it gets, there is an unmistakable punk spirit and a distinct DIY mentality in her music. Her tracks are a wild mix of slow, heavy bass music and futuristic R&B, with influences from today's rap and timeless breakbeat sounds. The genius of Catnapp's electronic crossover approach is that for all her creativity and often sensitive lyrics, her music never feels cluttered or overambitious. Instead, an immediate directness unfolds that always hits the mark.

Catnapp's musical backbone has always been anchored in bass music. Her sound oscillates between different genres - to name just a few: Breakbeat, Drum and Bass, Jungle, Dancehall and Pop. One of Catnapp's biggest driving forces is the freedom to cross the boundaries between different genres. Instead of being pigeonholed, the focus is on creating what feels good, exciting, fun and authentic. In addition to her tremendous energy, one of the most striking characteristics of her music and live performances is the strong polarization - from sweet to terrifying (sometimes even slightly disturbing) within a few moments.

Catnapp created her project in Buenos Aires for five years, performing at numerous festivals such as Creamfields (Main Stage) and Primavera Sound, until she moved to Berlin in 2015, where she still lives today.

In Europe, she continued to develop and change artistically and founded the music label Napp Records, with the aim ofofferingnew female artistsa safe and fair platform for their first releases or performances in Berlin. She released one of her EPs and a single on Napp Records as well as music by other female artists. A year later, she signed with Monkeytown Records - Modeselektor's Berlin label - where she released numerous tracks and toured in support of Modeselektor and Moderat.

Catnapp has released seven EPs, six LPs, four remix albums and many singles. She has performed at festivals and clubs such as Berghain (Berlin), Boiler Room (Berlin), Fusion (Berlin), Melt (Berlin), SXSW (Austin), Sonar (Barcelona), Reeperbahnfestival (Hamburg & Beijing) and toured China, among others.

Her EP "Cut Me" was released at the end of 2024 and a new album will follow in 2025. Both releases are characterized by their ever-growing pop energy, drums and bass, breakbeat, hyperpop and dancehall - always with the aim of giving people something real and tangible to take with them.
