ATB — Trance & Progressive House DJAbout ATB
André Tanneberger, known as ATB, is a German trance and progressive-house DJ born in Freiberg, East Germany. He began in the dance project Sequential One in 1993 with the debut single “Let Me Hear You,” and the project grew into a band the following year with Ulrich Pöppelbaum, Woody van Eyden and vocalist Morpha. Sequential One released the album Dance through House Nation in 1995 before ending in 1999.
Tanneberger launched ATB in 1998 and quickly made an international impact with “9 PM (Till I Come),” from Movin' Melodies. The record topped the UK Singles Chart in 1999 and is credited with bringing acoustic-guitar leads into mainstream trance. Its continuing festival life was evident when Tale Of Us played it during a Tomorrowland sunset set in 2023.
ATB has continued to perform at events and venues including Poland's Sunrise Festival, Creamfields and London's Ministry of Sound, with documented appearances in 2022. His work therefore links the formative European trance era to ongoing club and festival programming. “9 PM (Till I Come)” remains the central reference point, but the DJ story extends from Sequential One's early dance-project years through a solo identity capable of carrying a classic trance sound into modern festival settings.
