Catalina has been carving her place in the Belgian electronic music scene through sonic combinations of breaks, leftfield electro and weighty UKG. With her monthly “C’est la Cata” show on the airwaves of Kiosk Radio, she’s made a name for herself by exploring the chemistry between deconstructed, percussive tempos and aquatic melodies, all the while borrowing elements from her musical influences in the UK. Her sets showcase a technical ability to transcend genres, focusing on the experimental and joyful side of electronic music and teleporting the dance floors further into the stratosphere and beyond.
Catalina has been leaving her mark on the best dancefloors in Belgium (and beyond!), from throwing down at festivals such as Horst, Listen and Paradise City to setting the stage at clubs like Fuse and C12. She’s spun at Nuits Sonores, vibed at Siblings and Funke, and drove the energy at Club Détour. Her residency at one of Brussels’ most coveted DJ booths, La Cabane, is where you can see her showcasing her versatility. Catalina is a fixture as a resident of the esoteric Breaxx and Under My Garage parties. Whether it’s a festival stage or a packed basement, Catalina knows how to keep the crowd guessing — and dancing — with her signature blend of chaos, bass, and just the right amount of unpredictability.
UK-inspired sounds are at the core of Catalina’s sound. Jungle’s raw breakbeats, garage’s smooth grooves, 2-step’s syncopated rhythms, and electro’s punchy basslines all define her dynamic sets. The heavy, dark elements punch through the more whimsical melodies, adding depth and contrast to Catalina’s sets. Three words: heavy hitting humor.
