DESCRIPTION
André Tanneberger aka ATB (born February 26, 1973 in Freiberg, Saxony, Germany) is a DJ, musician, and producer of trance and dance music.
Among his most famous songs is “9pm (Till I Come)”, which topped the
charts in the United Kingdom in 1999 and is widely regarded as the UK’s
first Trance number one. The track features a guitar riff which became
hugely popular. This guitar sound, which he accidentally found while
experimenting with a new producing deck, became the trademark of his
early hits. ATB continues to evolve and change with every album. His
current style involves more vocals and varied sounds, with frequent
pianos.
Despite only releasing a few more singles in the UK, namely “Don’t
stop!” (No.3, 300,000 copies sold) and “Killer” (No.4, 200,000 copies
sold), he still regularly releases music in his native Germany and in
other parts of Europe, where he has scored big hits such as “I Don’t
Wanna Stop” and his cover of Olive’s 1996 hit “You’re Not Alone”.
“Two Worlds” (2000) is a two-disc album based upon the concept of
different types of music for different moods, with titles such as “The
World Of Movement” and “The Relaxing World”.
ATB’s latest hits include uplifting “Ecstasy” and chilling “Marrakech”,
both from the album “No Silence” (2004) and also released as singles.
In 2005, ATB released “Seven Years”, a compilation of 20 songs,
including many greatest hits such as “The Summer”, “Let U Go”, “Hold U”,
“Long Way Home”, and “I Don’t Wanna Stop”. Additionally, “Seven Years
includes six new tracks: “Humanity”; “Let U Go (2005 Reworked)”;
“Believe in Me”; “Trilogie, Pt. 2”; “Take Me Over”; and “Far Beyond”.
Many of ATB’s recent albums have featured vocals from Roberta Carter
Harrison, singer for the Canadian duo Wild Strawberries.
His last album was co-written by vocalist Tiff Lacey. “Trilogy” was
released in 2007. The release of his second single “Justify” was moved
from November 2006 to 2007. The single “Renegade” was released on
2007-04-12 and features Heather Nova.
On 2009-05-01 ATB released his latest album “Future Memories” featuring
Josh Gallahan (a.k.a. jades) and others. The first single release of
Future Memories which was also released on May 1st 2009 features What
About Us and L.A. Nights.
