Biographie: "The melodies are the most important part of good music," says André. "In dance that is no different from any other style of music. And I think, I have never attached such great importance to melodies before than on this album ("Dedicated"). Music shouldn't just be rhythm, music should take you to another world." A goal which has definitely been achieved on "Dedicated". The album does not only contain good songs, but, seen as a whole, is also a small work of art. "Music is a homogenous unit," says André. "When I record an album, the arrangements must be right. My aim is for people to listen to the CD from start to finish and not just jump from song to song." Thus ATB skilfully steers between real dance floor stompers and beautiful laid-back tracks, in which the listeners can lose themselves. Music to dance to AND to dream to. That is ATB. ATB is also: synthetic music combined with real music, in which André plays all melodies himself.
So what's next? André Tanneberger seems to be a long way off fulfilling his crossover ambitions. His next aim is therefore to give the combination of synthetic and real music even more depth and even more variety. We can now start looking forward to what he's going to come up with next. However, until then it's time to go on quite an adventurous musical journey and enjoy ATB's new album "Dedicated" in all its glory. Finally, there's only the question of the title, "Dedicated", which André does not really want to explain. He does still manage to drop a hint though: "Contact with my fans was and is very important for me. And no matter whether I'm DJing or making music myself. I always play music for the people, for my fans."
