Music Magazine & Concert Calendar

I usually just use this space to bullshit a bit, make lame jokes, and encourage you to The Chop Team come check out our shows. But inspired by all of the brave people coming forward – this month, I would like to talk instead about something a little more serious and Amande Dagod close to our hearts. Joe Kelly Glu Ten Lulu La Certa The little bubble we occupy in Berlin can often seem like a bastion for likeminded, Nathan Ma leftwing altruists. But in reality the hierarchical nature of the music and arts scene Martin Dziallas makes it a great place for predatory people in positions of power to exploit those Maya-Roisin Slater with less social capital.

2 scratching the surface with Catnapp By Maya-Roisin Slater alking from the train station in Kreuzburg to find a quiet cafe where we can conduct W our interview Argentinian born Berlin based producer Amparo Battaglia better known by her moniker Catnapp and I get to talking about the weather. It’s a sublime fall day, cold enough for one jacket but not two and framed by a cloudless sky emitting brilliant blue. The air is thick and candy tinted. It’s our mutual feeling that a day like this is almost always nostalgia invoking. This nostalgia as it happens is more than just an abstract feeling for Battaglia. Later this day she has plans to go to the wedding of an old friend from back home. A friend who she met in highschool and had a crush on when she was thirteen, five years ahead of her at the time he walked the halls ordained with shiny jew- elry, orange trousers, and glistening gelled up hair. He asked her one day “Okay you want to know what elec- tronic music is?” and she said “Yes!” It was at this moment our young producer was introduced to the Chemi- cal Brothers, later through the same person hip hop groups like Cypress Hill. These artists played a huge part in influencing Catnapp to depart from her childhood experiences of more traditional music, and land where she exists now sitting at the cross section of pop, dance music, and hip hop. Operating in this space has become much easier and more fruitful since her move to Berlin a little over two years ago. In Argentina, at least when she was there, the same kind of mu- Photo Rossi by Lola sic was not being made. “There was some hip hop, like really classic na- tional hip hop in Spanish. But no one was doing breakbeat or what I wanted to do. So it was weird because I was not able to share lineups with anyone,” she explains. While those years coming up and not fitting the bill as a club act or a concert act were a little isolating Battaglia says the scene has grown exponentially since then. Now in the beginning stages of building a label she’ll be releasing records Academy in Chile. “It was the last day Despite the recent release of this for some of these new players, and of RBMA and we had to give them beats, EP, Battaglia is taking no down- when she returns home to tour for we had to show them something.

6 Text by Nathan Ma Depression Playlist Illustration by Ringo Lukas In honor of November, the most depressing month, we bring you one Berlin based writer’s ruminations on serotonin depletion and song repetition.

The funny thing about sinking into a depression is that it often feels like you’re not sinking. It’s not always a sudden drop, or a sudden darkness. In fact, it’s often that you won’t realize how down you were until a missed bus or lost phone number send you into a fit, tears, or—even more exciting for eve- ryone in your vicinity—both of them, and quite loudly too!

The clarity after an episode isn’t a sudden ray of light or splash of water across your face; in its own murky way the fog is near today but gone tomor- row. Still we keep mementos from either side of the cycle: touchstones that push us in line when we’re flying too high or keep us afloat when we’re sinking down. It’s always been music for me—I’m a person who’ll spend a week listening to the same track on loop for fifteen hours a day, only paus- ing to shower and occasionally put on a new episode of Modern Family to hate watch.
