Catnapp – Make Your Speakers Boom

Buenos Airies born Catnapp is the first ‘one-girl’ band that I’ve ever encountered. Holding down production and mic duties herself and using only a DJ in a live environment to spin her beats while she goes in on the mic. Originally setting out to make drum&bass and breakbeat in 2009, her mission has taken her through many electronic sounds bringing us into 2012 with the release of the ‘Make Your Speakers Boom’ remix EP. It features the original track as well as remixes from underground producers from London, New York, Buenos Aires, Berlin, Barcelona as well as Paraguay, taking in Electro, Bass, UK Funky, Techno and several other musical styles. Oozing with pure attitude this is a strong release and with another 5 already under her belt, this girl is going to continue to mould and morph all the while refusing to be boxed in by musical boundaries.

The remix EP is available on Berlin based label IF THE KIDS

Check out Catnapps other releases here on her Bandcamp page and keep your eyes on Robot Bodypop for a full interview with the woman herself in the coming weeks.

Paper Tiger – Worldwide Takeover EP

You’ll have to excuse us for sleeping on this one a little while. We have been fans of Paper Tiger for well over 2 years now since catching a couple of their live shows in Manchester, and somehow this debut EP had escaped our attention until last month when it was uploaded to soundcloud.

Apologies aside, these guys are something a bit special. A future hip-hop and dubstep crew hailing from Leeds, Paper Tiger fuse electronic beats and synthesisers with live instrumentation, at times laced with the lyrical talents of MC Raphael Attar.

Grab one of the last few CD’s available of their debut EP via bandcamp before they are all gone forever!

Also you can grab a free download of the title track remixed by BUG right here.

We will be keeping you updated on their forthcoming work so stay locked to the show and the blog in coming weeks.
