Debut Full-Length Album from Argentinian Producer: Catnapp
She’s Argentinian. She currently lives in Berlin. And she’s made a name for herself over the past couple of years by playing a unique blend of rap mixed with heavy electronic beats.
Her name is Amparo Battaglia Lopez (aka Catnapp). Last year she was featured on Tom Ravenscroft’s show on BBC Radio 6 and in the summer she released a two-track EP with the singles “Easy” and “No Cover.” This year she’s set to release her debut full-length album entitled: Break.
Don’t be fooled by her stage name. Her music won’t be the soundtrack to a lazy little catnap. It’s heavy. The album’s opening track “Down In The Basement” is an ode to the underground — dealing with how to grow as an artist whilst staying true to your roots. “With so much happening in our world today, I feel incomplete telling only love stories,” explains Amparo. “I want to give people inspirational tools that work like fuel. Songs that can make one hop out of a bad and complicated situation in order to move on and up with confidence.”
The second single on the album is called air jordan 3 black cat 2025 “The Mover” and it features legendary electronic producers Modeselektor. The track is a slow burning, bass-heavy song with a message about strength and standing up for yourself. “Don’t you tell me what to do,” opens the track — a credo for both Catnapp and Modeselektor.
Amparo cites a list of diverse influences for the album. She drew inspiration from bands like Aphex Twin, The Prodigy, OutKast and Beyoncé, while her productions borrowed from today’s post-internet and post-rap sounds.
Look out for the Break LP in July on Monkeytown Records.
