艺人资料
Andre Tanneberger,艺名ATB,1973年2月26日出生在东德的 Saxony,Freiberg。德国DJ,音乐家,电子舞曲创作人。据《DJ杂志》爆料,2009年和2010年他位列世界DJ排名11位,2011年位列15位。
从小便对电子舞曲产生了极高的兴趣,18岁时就成了当地Pub驻场DJ,而有幸认识到一些他音乐生涯中的贵人Thomas Kulula、a.k.a.、General Base等,开启atb的电音艺人之路,开始在自己的卧室创作电音。短短一年后随即推出第一首单曲,也在随后数年间发行数首自己的作品,皆是颇受好评。直到1998年,一首气车广告曲《9PM(Till I Come)》冲上英美电音榜冠军及流行榜前10名,不仅让ATB的知名度扶摇直上成为炙手可热的人气电音巨星,更令ATB合作邀约不断,成为独当一面的超级电音制作人。
03年推出第四张专辑《Addicted To Music》,正如专辑所命题的,说明了ATB对音乐择善固执慢工出细活的“毛病”。当他把自己关在录音室,为著新专辑开始创作时,很自然地那种对音乐狂喜的感受便油然而生,以往各种难得的音乐体验不断地出现,于是交织出以舞曲为基调并融合感性、弛放的元素,一种全新的电音型态终于成型,呈现出ATB这张《Addicted To Music》最新大碟。新作中,ATB与前专辑的加拿大女歌手Robert Carter Harrison再度合作,以空灵梦幻的人生编制,巧妙地穿梭在ATB精心筹画的Ambient与Trance电音景致之中。时而伤悲、时而呈现圆滑的旋律,与令人跃动的极限电音,主打歌《I Don’t Wanna Stop》意远深长地道出失去恋情的深刻感受,人声交错著标准的疏离重拍,在狂喜电音中衬托出莫名心伤;《Everything Is Wrong》飘渺的Ambient曲式,刻画出幻境的意识;《Long Way Home》流畅的Trance编曲,动感流畅深入人心;《Gentle Melody》工整的出神格局,难得的经典慢板电音…洋洋洒洒的13首全新作品,足以显示ATB对电音细腻的品味,与他无人能及的音乐特色,是当年德国电音界不可忽视的概念之作。

Life and career
Andre Tanneberger,under his stage name of ATB, (born 26 February 1973 in Freiberg, Saxony, East Germany) is a German DJ, musician, and producer of electronic dance music. According to the official world DJ rankings governed by ‘DJ Magazine’, ATB was ranked #11 in 2009 and 2010, and #15 in 2011. In 2011, he was ranked as world number 1 according to "The DJ List". He is best known for his 1999 single "9 PM (Till I Come)" which was a number one single in the United Kingdom.
Tanneberger started his music career with the dance music group Sequential One. In February 1993, Sequential One released their debut single "Let Me Hear You", followed by "Dance"/"Raving". Singles brought them small financial benefits; André gained the opportunity to organize a mini-studio. In 1994 the band increased by three members: Ulrich Poppelbaum, Woody van Eyden and vocalist Morpha. In early 1995 the House Nation label released the group's first album, Dance.
After the great success in his native Germany, Sequential One gradually became known in other countries of Europe. The second album, ‘Energy’ apart from Germany, was also released in the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland and Hungary. Despite the success and growing popularity, two members of the project—Woody van Eyden and Morpha—still left in 1998. Only André and Ullrich were still left in the group. In 1999 Sequential One ceased to exist. Shortly before the collapse, André managed to release the last single "Angels" and the compilation album ‘Decades’.
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 United Kingdom music charts in 1999. The track features a guitar riff that became hugely popular. This guitar sound 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!" and "Killer", 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’ (released in 2000) was his second studio album. It is a two-disc album based upon the concept of different types of music for different moods. The titles of the two CDs are: "The World of Movement" and "The Relaxing World". This album includes two songs featuring Heather Nova: "Love Will Find You" and "Feel You Like a River". The song "Let U Go" featured on the "The World of Movement" disc featuring the vocals of Roberta Carter Harrison from the Canadian pop band Wild Strawberries. The song "Enigmatic Encounter" features music from the music project Enigma.
His third album, ‘’Dedicated’, was released in 2002. It includes two top hits: "Hold You" and "You're Not Alone". The title refers to the September 11 attacks.
In 2003, ATB released ‘Addicted to Music’, which included hits such as "I Don't Wanna Stop" and "Long Way Home". The same year, ATB's first DVD of the same name was released. It featured all his videos, a tour documentary and photographs.
ATB's hits "Ecstasy" and "Marrakech" were included on the album ‘No Silence’ (2004). "Marrakech" was also included on the soundtrack for the film ‘Mindhunters’.
In 2005, ATB released ‘Seven Years’, a compilation album of 20 songs, including all his singles. Additionally, Seven Years includes six new tracks, including the single "Humanity" and the 2005 rework of "Let U Go". Many of ATB's recent albums have featured vocals from Roberta Carter Harrison, singer for the Canadian band Wild Strawberries. On 7 July 2005 he married his long-time girlfriend Anna.
His next album, ‘Trilogy’, was released on 4 May 2007. The single "Justify" was released from ‘The DJ 4 in the Mix’ compilation. The single "Renegade" was released on 12 April 2007, and features Heather Nova. The third single was "Feel Alive", released in July the same year.
In a Trance.nu interview on 11 May 2007, ATB considered "Don't Stop!" to be his worst production to date, and he no longer stands by it, due to it being similar to his first hit, "9 PM (Till I Come)".
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.
On 29 April 2011 ‘Distant Earth’ was released, followed by ‘Distant Earth Remixed’ on 16 September 2011.
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 plans on releasing his next album during the second half of 2013. In September ATB posted that he's working on the last track of the album and that the new album will have 24 songs on 2 CDs. In addition, he announced that he would be bringing the ATB in Concert series to the United States with shows in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and New York City. Previously ATB had kept the past six ATB in Concert shows in Eastern Europe.
ATB released an album titled Contact on 24 January 2014.
