Following cryptic message at ateaseweb.com, one of the longest running Radiohead fan sites, was posted on January 27, 2008: “A mysterious email in the inbox recently, announcing Radiushead: “A project put together by Chicago producer Radius sampling from Kid A and Amnesiac”
It is now available for download and has been approved my Radiohead for distribution, as far as I’ve heard. From what i’ve heard of it so far, its pretty good. I think its going to grow on me. It is not as hip-hopy and upbeat but i like it a lot.

Mike Stroud and Evan Mast first met as Skidmore College students, but they did not work together until they recorded “Cherry” in 2001, a track that later would complete their debut album. The name Ratatat comes from an experience in which Mike saw eight rats tap-dancing while high on LSD. Their 2004 debut, Ratatat was written and recorded in Mast’s Crown Heights, Brooklyn apartment on Stroud’s PowerBook.[1] This album is entirely instrumental, except for occasional excerpts of dialog at the beginning and end of some tracks. While touring in 2006, they added a third member, Jacob Morris, on keyboard. Morris is rarely pictured in media photos of the band.
The group started out on the independent label Rex Records, on which they released their first single, Seventeen Years. They released that single again on Evan and his brother’s record label Audio Dregs. They then signed for XL Recordings, releasing their debut album and the single Germany to Germany. Ratatat occasionally remixes other artists’ songs, most notably on their limited 2004 release Ratatat Remixes Vol. 1 (which garnered the attention of Rolling Stone), as well as the later second volume.
Both musicians have had experience with other projects, such as Mast’s E*vax and Stroud’s stage work with Ben Kweller and Dashboard Confessional. Ratatat has toured with bands such as Björk, Daft Punk, Mouse on Mars, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, CSS, The Faint, Clinic, and The Killers. They recently supported Mogwai in Japan.
On October 10, 2006 a new demo album from Ratatat entitled 9 Beats was leaked online. This new set of tracks does not appear on any official discography listings. The tracks consist of short instrumental electronic musical pieces.[2]
The group recently released a new remix album entitled Ratatat Remixes Vol 2.. It featured a variety of rappers such as Bun B, Biggie Smalls, Jay-Z, Slim Thug, Devin the Dude, Young Jeezy, T.I., Beanie Sigel, Pimp C, Ludacris, Young Buck, Saigon, Juvenile, Z-Ro, Memphis Bleek, Kanye West and exclusive tracks from rappers Despot and Beans. A CD has been seen available for purchase ($5) at live shows in 2007. The album leaked on March 27, 2007. It has been rumored that they will be signed by Star Trak as the understudies of the Neptunes.
Several of the mixtape tracks feature beats from 9 Beats as their backing music
