TACKAT

Tack At stands for “the artist commonly known as Technogod.” In 1990, Technogod made their debut with the EP “Cola Wars,” released by the British label Nation Records, led by Aki Nawaz. After reportedly having a nightmare while listening to the band, Nawaz decided to contact them — an episode that became almost mythical and marked the beginning of an important relationship.

The debut immediately made an impact on the UK scene, placing Technogod within the post–acid house context alongside acts such as Pop Will Eat Itself and Jesus Jones. Key figures like John Peel, Andy Weatherall, and Dave Angel began featuring the record in their radio shows and DJ sets. A short London tour soon followed.

In 1993, the band recorded their first album, Hemo Glow Ball, for Contempo Records (Florence), co-produced by Roli Mosimann, already known for his work with Young Gods and The The. The record blends electronics, rock, and rap into a personal and unconventional form, sparking interest across Europe and taking the band on tour as support for Consolidated from San Francisco.

In the following years, Technogod opened shows for Meat Beat Manifesto in France and joined The Young Gods on their Italian tour. After the collapse of Contempo and a series of legal issues, the project chose to react rather than stop: the collective Alieni della Lost Legion was formed, through which more electronic and ambient works such as Ohmega Tribe and B9D-Vine were produced and released both in Europe and in the United States.

Alongside this, collaborations, remixes, and commissions followed: Casino Royale, Bluvertigo, La Crus, Mau Mau, The Young Gods, as well as advertising jingles for brands such as Ceres and Volkswagen.

In 2006, 2000 Below Zero was released — a dense, complex album saturated with ideas and sounds. Published in Italy by Vox Pop / BMG, it also received licensing for France, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. New concerts and tours followed, alongside bands such as Papa Brittle, The Young Gods, Napalm Death, and Asian Dub Foundation.
However, in 1998, the band entered a period of pause and reconfiguration, marked by the departure of some founding members.

The project does not disappear; it remains under the radar but continues to evolve. Between 2001 and 2002, y:dk released Undo, followed by several side projects: >>” (2000), “Labiale” (2004) and “Ramsazzizz” (2008).

In 2009, Technogod returned with Pain Trtn Ment (l’intrattenimento del dolore), a work that keeps alive the project’s ironic, sarcastic, and angry spirit, blended with rock-funk and electronic sounds.

2011 marks an identity shift: with the fifth album Whelm, Technogod becomes Tack At. A name change that isn’t a break but a synthesis — the artist commonly known as Technogod.

Tack At is sharp, cutting, lean, and agile.

It is followed by the mini-LP Re)sound EP, a collection of remixes and reinterpretations of tracks from Whelm, featuring contributions from Bologna Violenta, Lorenzo Montanà (Tying Tiffany), His Clancyness, Lo Stato Sociale, and Perturbazione.

In 2017, Loz and y:dk collaborated with Jean Lux Boka and Fredbo (an original co-founder of Technogod) on Dusting the Plants, the second album of the darkbeat project Armoteque.

After a long gestation period, shaped by the dissonances of contemporary reality, the new album Nausea was born, soon to be released by Overdub Records.

“Younipol City” is the new single by Tack At, released by Overdub Recordings, available on digital streaming platforms from February 17 and on radio rotation starting Friday, February 20, 2026.
