ATB

André Tanneberger (, ; born 26 February 1973), better known by his stage name ATB, is a German DJ and producer of trance music. According to the official world DJ rankings governed by DJ Magazine, ATB was ranked No. 11 in 2009 and 2010, and No. 15 in 2011. In 2011, he was ranked as world No. 1 according to "The DJ List". He is best known for his 1998 single "9 PM (Till I Come)", which was a No. 1 single in the United Kingdom. The song's hook would later be reworked into "Don't Stop!" in 1999 for his debut album, Movin' Melodies, becoming a hit in its own right.

Career 1993-1999: "Sequential One" Tanneberger started his music career in a dance project, Sequential One (SQ-1). In February 1993, the act released debut single "Let Me Hear You", followed by "Dance"/"Raving". However, these singles brought to André few earnings, so he later gained the opportunity to organize a mini-studio. In 1994 the project turned into the band, adding three new members: Ulrich Pöppelbaum, Woody van Eyden and vocalist Morpha. In early 1995 the "House Nation" record label released the group's first album, Dance.

After great success in its native Germany, Sequential One gradually became known elsewhere in Europe. Their second album, Energy, was also released in the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland and Hungary. Despite this success and growing popularity, two members of the project — Woody van Eyden and Morpha — left in 1998, so only André and Ulrich remained in the band, and the next year Sequential One ceased to exist. Shortly before the collapse, André released the last single "Angels" and the compilation album Decades.

1998–1999: Formation of ATB and Movin' Melodies In 1998, Tanneberger started a solo project named ATB. His first track under this name was "9 PM (Till I Come)", included on the Movin' Melodies album, which topped the UK Singles Chart in 1999.

2009–2010: Future Memories

The album Future Memories was released on 5 May 2009. "What About Us" was released as the lead single prior to the album's release. Further hit tracks include the collaborations with Tiff Lacey on "My Everything", "Still Here" and "Missing" (a chillout cover of Everything but the Girl's classic).

2011: Distant Earth On 29 April 2011 Distant Earth was released, followed by Distant Earth Remixed on 16 September 2011.

2012–2016: Contact On 8 June 2012, Sunset Beach DJ Session 2 was released. On 24 March 2013, ATB announced during A State of Trance 600 Miami at Ultra Music Festival that he planned to release his next album during the second half of 2013. In September ATB posted that he was working on the last track of the album and that the new album would have 24 songs on two CDs. In addition, he announced that he would bring the ATB in Concert series to the United States with shows in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and New York City. ATB had kept the past six ATB in Concert shows in Eastern Europe.

ATB released an album titled Contact on 24 January 2014.

2017–2020: neXt On 10 February 2017, Andre announced through his Facebook account that his upcoming tenth studio album, Next (stylized as neXt), would be released on 21 April 2017. The album would be available in three versions: standard double-disc CD, Limited Edition Box and 12" double-vinyl package, which could be pre-ordered through Amazon starting the day of the announcement.

ATB released neXt on 21 April 2017 through Kontor Records.

2021–present: "Your Love (9PM)" and final album In 2021, a remake of "9 PM (Till I Come)" by ATB, German producer Topic and Swedish singer Alexander 'A7S' Tidebrink was released on Positiva Records. Retitled "Your Love (9PM)", the record charted in Germany and on the UK Official Charts Company Top 75 singles chart (reaching the number 42 position on 5 February 2021).

In May 2024, ATB announced on Instagram that his next album will be his last, due to "the current era of streaming and downloads, which have pushed albums out of the way in favor of singles and EPs", but reassured that he will continue to release singles and tour.

Personal life On 6 July 2018, ATB married his second wife, Laura Gabriela.
