tKatKa (pronounced 'Te-Kat-Ker') is a Swedish / English electronic music duo based in London, England. [1] The project is a collaboration between artists PJ Norman and Carlsson. The group formed officially in 2004. [2] Their first release was on a compilation for the gLASSsHRIMP show on Resonance FM. [3] A white label of their track "Lazerslab" was first broadcast by the influential BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Nightingale. [4]
In 2006 they released two well-received singles ("Lazerslab" and "Bedroom Dust") and a full length self-titled album in 2007 on 100m Records. [5] The covers for these releases were shot by Diana Scheunemann. [6] Notably, they gained early support from DJs Mary Anne Hobbs, [7] James Zabiela [8] and Nick Luscombe. [9]
In 2008 tKatKa released their second full-length album, "TerrorKnowledgeAction". [10] The album included the single "Grief Hijackers" which was an extensive remix of the original song by Tom Hickox. [11]

Ambient beats mash-up masters [17]
The collection of songs tKatKa have produced are stunning [18]
... a whirring collage of warping electro beat melodies salaciously herded together under a glazing chassis of deliciously manicured updated Miami Vice like grandeur [19]
