NAPT, aka Ashley Pope and Tomek Naden, are a multi-award winning
British electronic dance music production and DJ duo whose popularity
has rocketed in the last 2 years. Their self coined N-Funk sound is a
heady concoction of breakbeat, electro and house spawned from the UK
underground and informed by a keen ear for the tasteful end of the
commercial spectrum.

NAPT’s first releases were remixes for major label artists Lumidee
and Jon Cutler. NAPT then went on to release a slew of chart topping
and critically acclaimed tracks on a host of labels including the
award winning Funkatech Records, Sony Records, Fingerlickin Records
and more, which have been consistently played on Radio 1, Kiss FM,
Triple J etc and featured in major online and offline press including
DJ Mag, iDJ, Mixmag, inthemix etc; from the top selling and award
winning singles “Gotta Have More Cowbell” and “Make My Day” which
have to date racked up over 15,000 sales, to remixes and
collaborations with electro-pop act Kish Mauve (Kylie Minogue fame),
Mercury Prize nominee MJ Cole, Dubstep luminary G-Double from Anti-
Social crew, British drum and bass MC Skibadee, UK soul legend Mica
Paris and rising UK Urban star Ashley “Bashy” Thomas.

In 2009 NAPT picked up a highly esteemed award from Beatport.com for
their remix of Slyde’s “Frequency,” followed by wins for Best
Producer, Best Track and Best Remix at Breakspoll. In 2010 they
repeated their wins for Best Producer and Best Track at Breakspoll –
the first time in the history of the awards that the Best Producer
and Best Track categories had been won by the same artist in
successive years.

As DJ’s NAPT have headlined and performed shows all over the world,
from Fabric in London, Glastonbury Festival Somerset to Ambar in
Perth the N-Funk continuously infiltrates many a dance floor. NAPT
also pioneered the online mix tape with 3 highly successful mix
series to date, the latest “Live In The Mix” gaining well over 40,000
downloads.

Successfully traversing a multitude of genres the NAPT N-Funk sound
refuses to be boxed in with their innovative, mutated, high sheen
productions rocking the most discerning of dance floors.

The future seems ever bright for the new heroes of the dance.

Chic indie electro band Kish Mauve have more than likely graced your ears before, after all this is the duo that penned the chart topping ‘Two Hearts’ for Kylie Minogue (and indeed collaborate with her on their new album). NAPT collaborated with Kish Mauve to produce the single ‘Lose Control’, released in 2009 before teaming up with talented Romanian film director Dan Claudiu who produced this rather cool video for the track.
