Annotation

Atomizer is the band that helped kickstart the London electro scene back in 2002 with their now legendary club night NagNagNag.
Recording with ex-KLF producer Jimmy Cauty in 2003, Atomizer released their debut single HOOKED ON RADIATION on DJ Hell's International DJ Gigolo Records, which featured the Orange Alert remix by the Pet Shop Boys.
Whilst touring the globe, two further Jimmy Cauty produced singles BALL & CHAIN (2004) & UNDERDOG (2005) were released on their own NagNagNag Records, along with ZERO ZERO / NOSTALGIA (2006), before the debut album RUBBER YOUTH in October 2006.
The single I'D PREFER NOT TO / ROT OF THE STARS was released on 7" and download in June 2007, with a video inspired by the 1972 cult British film "Bartleby", based on the existential Herman Melvill short story "Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall-Street" (1853).
The band's next single was the JE SUIS LESBIEN E.P. available on 12" and download throgh iTunes, Beatport, emusic etc, was a homage to Pierre Molinier, a one-time member of the Surrealists cast out by André Breton, whose photo montages of himself and others cross-dressing in S&M couture, shot through a keyhole lens, pioneered the exploration of sexuality outside the norm.
The Orange Alert remix of HOOKED ON RADIATION appeared on the Pet Shop Boys album DISCO 4, which was released in October 2007.
The band released the single 'KARATE MARBLE FACTORY E.P' in September 2008, which features four new tracks and remixes by Joe & Will Ask? and De Trop.
