ATA is a German music label that was founded in 1980 by Kurt Dahlke (a.k.a. Pyrolator), Frank Fenstermacher, and Moritz Reichelt (a.k.a. Moritz R) from Düsseldorf. Previously known as Art Attack and Warning Records, ATA has established itself as a prominent label in the music industry.

The label's recording studio, located at [l323281], has been instrumental in producing high-quality music for ATA artists. Additionally, ATA is connected to a music publisher at [l323280], further expanding its reach and influence.

With a satirical advertisement from the 1980s proclaiming "This is German music of the Eighties! We shall not rest until the German folk has regained style, culture, and self-consciousness," ATA showcases its commitment to promoting unique and culturally significant music.

Inspired by the legendary live performances of The Roots with Jay-Z and the 40 piece orchestral arrangements by Miguel-Atwood Ferguson of the work of J Dilla, classic arranging techniques underpin modern loop-based structures.The band itself is based on the classic jazz big band instrumentation of saxes, trumpets and trombones and features the cream of the north of England's jazz scene who collectively have played with Jamiroquai, Corinne Bailey Rae, Mark Ronson, Martha Reeves, John Legend &amp; the Roots, Roots Manuva and Amy Winehouse.
