NAPT

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 electro, bass, house and broken beat spawned from the UK underground.
NAPT's first releases were remixes for Sony and Def Jam. NAPT then went on to release a slew of chart topping and critically acclaimed singles, remixes and collaborations 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 and more. Their top selling and award winning singles "Gotta Have More Cowbell" and "Make My Day" have to date racked up over 24,000 sales and they have remixed and collaborated with artists such as drum and bass stars Brookes Brothers, Kish Mauve (Kylie Minogue fame), Mercury Prize nominee MJ Cole, Dubstep luminary G-Double from Anti-Social crew, British drum and bass MC Skibadee, 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, a feat which they repeated the following year in unprecedented fashion. 2010 also saw NAPT reach number 8 in the UK national Indie Chart, and number 4 in the ARIA Australian national Club Chart for their collaboration with Bashy on "Make My Day", as well as hitting the top spot on the worlds largest music blog site, Hypem.com, no less than twice, with their re-works of Miike Snow and Daft Punk.
