   recurrent party favorite at MATT RADIO

This massive dance hit originated in the clubs.

This track has sexual overtones. Does it make you horny, baby?

An extremely melodic trance / house record, "9 PM (Till I Come)" was produced in one day and was finished at exactly... 9:00 pm. NOW who says the title doesn't make any sense?

André Tanneberger was born in 1973 in Freiberg, Germany. His parents soon moved West to Herne, Germany, where André grew up.

In the late 80's, André often visited the Tarm Center, a big disco in Bochum. (He later became the resident DJ there.) He was listening to the DJ sets of Thomas Kukula (aka General Base). In 1992, he decided to start his own music career. With his Amiga computer and a little synthesizer, he started producing tracks in his bedroom.

He eventually got to know Thomas Kukula personally through a mutual acquaintance. Thomas was so enthusiastic about André's first steps that he offered him the chance to finish the pre-produced tracks in his studio. While working in the studio, André noticed a synthesizer with the name Sequential One Pro. That's how he found the name for his first project: Sequential One.

In February 1993, the first single of Sequential One, called "Dance," was released on Rough Trade. "Let Me Hear U," "Happy Feelings," and "Back To Unity" were eventually all released on that same label. Due to the success of those tracks, André was able to really get serious about music and gradually purchase his own studio.

In 1995 he left Rough Trade for Dance Street/Housenation. There he had several successful releases together with Woody Van Eyden and Spacekid. Meanwhile, André also found a new home at Kontor Records in Hamburg, Germany. He wanted to branch out and start producing more commercial tracks with vocals. Kontor provided him that opportunity, bringing him to the attention of the USA's Radikal Records.

In the wake of remixes for acts including the Outhere Brothers, Technotronic, and Haddaway, he scored a European club hit with 1999's "9 PM (Till I Come)," releasing the full-length Movin' Melodies, later that same year. At the end of October 2000, Tanneberger released his sophomore album, Two Worlds. For the album ATB collaberated with Heather Nova, Enigma, and the Canadian rock band Wild Strawberries. The release was a double CD, the first consisting of more dance floor-friendly tunes and the second, more down-tempo. In mid 2000 Tannenberg released the single "Killer," a remake of the Seal and Adamski track, with Drew Williams on vocals. Two Worlds was issued later that fall, followed by several compilations and singles. It wasn't until 2002 that a new full length album would appear, but Dedicated arrived that spring.
