Katabatik

Katabatik was essentially started by Anchorage, Alaska native Michael Buchanan in 1999 as an outlet for the group "Nommo Ogo" which he is a principal member of. After a period of touring the US Nommo Ogo relocated to Oakland, Ca. where they set up shop at their secret Kata-compound location. From there Katabatik quickly evolved into a collective of like minded local electronic sound artist's who are mainly concerned with the more esoteric and eclectic forms of electronic music production, whether it be in the form of cutting edge electronic dance music, Avantgarde psychedelic noise rock, occult inspired live ritual performances, or purely experimental sound excursions into the unknown realms made with DIY analog modular devices. More recently Katabatik has dedicated itself to becoming a full time record label devoted to releasing outstanding new material from many of the artists who have come to associate themselves with the label on a regular basis.
