André Oliver Tanneberger aka ATB (born February 26, 1973 in Freiberg, Saxony, Germany) is a musical artist. He is a DJ, musician, and producer of trance and dance music. Among his most famous songs is "9pm (Till I Come)", which topped the charts in the United Kingdom in 1999 and is widely regarded as the UK's first Trance number one. The track features a guitar riff which became hugely popular. This guitar sound, which he accidentally found while experimenting with a new producing deck, 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!" (No.3, 300,000 copies sold) and "Killer" (No.4, 200,000 copies sold), 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 (2000) 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."

ATB's latest hits include uplifting "Ecstasy" and chilling "Marrakech", both from the album No Silence (2004) and also released as singles. "Marrakech" was also included on the soundtrack for the movie "Mindhunters".

In 2005, ATB released Seven Years, a compilation of 20 songs, including many greatest hits such as "The Summer", "Let U Go", "Hold U", "Long Way Home", and "I Don't Wanna Stop". Additionally, Seven Years includes six new tracks: "Humanity"; "Let U Go (2005 Reworked)"; "Believe in Me"; "Trilogie, Pt. 2"; "Take Me Over"; and "Far Beyond". Many of ATB's recent albums have featured vocals from Roberta Carter Harrison, singer for the Canadian duo Wild Strawberries.

His next album is being co-written by vocalist Tiff Lacey, and is expected for January 2007 release. The release of his new single "Justify" was moved from November 2006 to January/February of 2007.

He is married to Anna Tanneberger.
