JAKATTi

The official archival channel for JAKATTi and home to our debut single 'We Are So Good' as well as 'Time Out', 'Move It', 'The Voice' and many more.
Formed in 1982 after the split of punk band The Killjoys, JAKATTi was a London synth-pop/funk band founded by principal songwriter/producer Mark Phillips, Ian Richards & Paul Owen.

— BACKSTORY —
Ian was studying the 'Cecchetti' dance method at Ballet Rambert & there it was: our name. The new songs buzzed to life so we hit London Town, playing to New Romantics, Electroheads & Funkateers.
Our first records broke across Europe, taking us to top clubs like The Palace (Paris), Osho (Hannover), Kremlin (Lisbon) & Keeper (Madrid).
We went live on prime-time TV, hosted our own network special, and our new vocalist Siv got proposed to by a Portuguese aristocrat at an aftershow in Porto!
The culmination was our 1985 gigs supporting Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five at London’s Victoria Palace Theatre.

It was pretty damn good while it lasted.
