KATAP is ELECTRONIC music fascinating of PUNK and ROCK'N'ROLL.
In 2005, by Bustin’Loose (Planet Funk's music label), Katap released a 12 inch, MY TRIP, which contains the original track My trip plus two remix. My trip garnered positive reviews both with the public and the critics.
In 2007 was released ANTIFORM, the first LP from Katap, produced by Katap and Nut Label and distributed by Venus. Antiform contains the hit track Notorious Heart, actually released in several remix, and chosen in 2008 from MEI (italian Meeting of Indipendent Labels) as one of the most representative songs of the new independent Italian music scene. Katap went around Italy with their Antiform tour, and took part (2008) in Kaleidoscope Festival with dj/artists such as Apparat and Schneider TM.
Bullet (NutLabel/Audioglobe), the new album, took life between 2010 and 2011, following some ideas experimented during electronic live of Antiform tour.
Different from previous lp, Bullet follows a elektro-punk path; the presence of electric guitars, rough and polemic, creates a sound more tipically live. But the electronic sound is still present, and through the synths, it stands like a alert sentinel producing a heavy and groovy sound where dancefloor crashes into fucking rock’n’roll!
The band name corresponds to the phonetic transposition of “cut-up”, a 50’s creative writing technique whose main concepts of randomness and automation are applied to KATAP’s electronic music and lyrics.
