He was góod as the entry level of electronic music, but once one starts learning about the more serious aspects, he kind of fades away. So basically, we could say that he has a role to play into the entire EDM genre.

Just like with some generic trance-tracks, 9pm and Ecstasy play more of an emotional role for me, than a musical one.

After hearing his weak-ass cover of Adamski's Killer, I could never take him seriously again. Why would even try to match Seal, f'crissakes!?

easy to knock, but his 'the dj' mix comps were not bad.

also. let you go club mix is AWESOME - bongos, dark vocals and searing synths.



but yeah, all his other productions are cheese. can't dent the success he had with 9pm though, and this is a great tune, don't stop x-cabs mix... manages to make that trademark hawaiian riff bearable.

i used to play atb a lot back then, semi decent commercial music



This track sounds so amateur and vocals aren't good ones imo but i think is the most enjoyable track by him. Never understood his sucess, maybe we should consider him the david guetta of trance.

listened to ATB everynight after I got home from the club. Then it was time to order pizza, and then hop on motorcycle and go cruising. Good times.

"Lol, ATB?", what are you, 12?

Even when I enjoyed cheesy eurodance most of his stuff was too much for me. He was a crowdpleaser though, always had a couple of tracks by him just in case.

I liked his first album (I was 12) but everything after that I hated.

Is he DJing retirement communities yet?

ATB - Don't Stop (X Cabs Remix)

The classic days of MOS. This track sure gives me the chills!

Somehow i only appriciate 9pm and Don't Stop, not forgetting he did pretty good covering "It's A Fine Day" I can't really dig anything else from him especially in the late 00s
