The renowned German electronic music producer and DJ ATB, known for his iconic single “9pm (Till I Come),” has announced that he will release his final studio album in 2025, marking the end of a remarkable journey in dance music. With a career spanning over two and a half decades, ATB’s legacy includes an impressive ten studio albums and more than 55 gold and platinum awards across various countries, solidifying his place as a pioneering force in electronic music.
ATB first rocketed to stardom in 1998 with the release of “9pm (Till I Come),” a single that not only topped the UK Singles Chart but also made history as the first dance track to reach number one in the UK. The track achieved worldwide acclaim, even climbing the US Billboard charts, and helped bring dance music into the mainstream, paving the way for the genre on global radio. This single, coupled with ATB’s string of follow-up hits like “Don’t Stop,” “Ecstasy,” and “Let U Go,” has established his reputation as an innovator with an ear for both melody and rhythm.
Known for his refined approach to production, ATB has a unique style of creating double albums, often splitting projects into two discs: one focused on high-energy dance tracks and the other on soothing soundscapes. This method offers fans an immersive experience, catering to both the club-goer and the introspective listener. There’s high anticipation that his upcoming album will maintain this duality, blending powerful beats with introspective calm.
Although this next release will be his last studio album, ATB’s career is far from winding down. Celebrating more than 25 years of musical artistry, he will embark on the “Don’t Stop” Part Two North American Tour in 2025. This tour, with stops across major cities like Denver, Costa Mesa, Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Houston, promises not just nostalgia but also a sneak peek at the unreleased tracks from his final album. His recent remix of VisionV’s “Lonely,” featuring Phea, offers fans a glimpse into the intensity he’s bringing to his latest work. With Phea’s emotive vocals interwoven with ATB’s powerful beats, the remix delivers a fresh yet familiar club anthem that underscores his status as a master at igniting dance floors.
ATB’s career has been nothing short of groundbreaking, earning him a consistent spot in the DJ Mag Top 100 for nearly two decades. His extensive discography—rich with global hits and multi-dimensional projects—illustrates a creative spirit that has not only kept pace with the evolution of electronic music but also led it in new directions.
