Home > ZTT Records

ZTT is an abbreviation for Marinetti's sound poem Zang tumb tumb. The word "Tuuuum" is also featured on the cover of a book by Marinetti.

ZTT enjoyed considerable success in the 1980s with the composer Andrew Poppy , bands such as Propaganda, The Art of Noise, and the chart-topping Frankie Goes to Hollywood. In 1989 both Propaganda and Frankie Goes To Hollywood frontman Holly Johnson went to court to be released from their contracts, and won.

In the 1990s, ZTT became a successful dance label once again, with major names on their roster including Seal and 808 State.
