Originally founded by tech-punk maverick T.Raumschmiere (Marco Haas), Shitkatapult appeared on the scene in 1999. A year later Sascha Ring, better known as the amazing Apparat, jumped on board the Katapult, and the two have been running the label together ever since with ascending success. Graphics and such are handled by comrades in arms Carsten Aermes (a.k.a. Phon.o) and Alexander Solman (a.k.a. Cia-Industries). The electronic world has embraced Shitkatapult's long list of outstanding releases - from the innovative effusions of Apparat over the experimental soundscapes of T.Raumschmiere to the mutant tech-disco records from Das Bierbeben - and together with its associated labels Musick and Meteosound the Shitkatapult family is one of Germany's most established electronic music outlets.
