ATB in Romania (Again :D )

As probably you already are a fan of the well-known German DJ, ATB, and you live in Romania, you have 2 chances to see and hear him loud and clear :) . On March 7th 2008 he will concert in Timisoara in Heaven Studio and on 8th March (also International Women’s Day) the concert moves to Bucharest (somewhere in a club).

With his debut single “9 PM (Till I Come)”, ATB has became world famous. Also mentioning “Ecstacy”, “You Are Not Alone”, “Let U Go” and one of my favourites “Renegade” (see the clip below). The female voice behind ATB’s “Let U Go” is the female lead vocalist of the “Wild Strawberries”, a Canadian rock band and as for “Renegade” is Heather Nova. ATB, by his real name André Tanneberger, is a well-known remixer too, making tracks by artists such as Moby, William Orbit and A-HA fit for the dance floor.
