The man who brought you 9PM (TILL I COME), ECSTASY and APOLLO ROAD is back! The perfect way to kick off 2014 as ATB returns with a brand new single featuring the vocal talents of chart-topping act Stanfour! Those lucky enough to see the recent ATB IN CONCERT live shows in the USA were amongst the first to hear the new song, and they loved it! Immediately available as the first cut from the forthcoming ATB album 'CONTACT' (due out Jan 24). Destined to become a future classic, 'FACE TO FACE' comes with a fantastic mix package, featuring reworks by JUNKX, long-time ATB collaborator RUDEE and ATB's very own ANTHEM VERSION, sure to reach out not only to the upfront trance and prog house community but also to an even bigger audience of electronic music fans worldwide.

Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the most beloved German dj & producer returns with his brand new much awaited exceptional album Contact. ATB never fails to impress and always progress his sound one step further and ahead. His performances as DJ are passionate and manage to move the crowds with his dj technique and selection of great tracks. One of his latest performances was at Nature One 2013 and he was putting fire on the Open Air Floor with his superb style while the crowd was shouting rhythmically his name. His first single out from his album Contact is called Face To Face with vocals from Stanfur. The club package includes 3 stand out versions that move within and out of trance and epic progressive house. ATB's Anthem mix is what we used to get from ATB in his most classic and easily recognisable style. Tribal pumping beats, heavy punchy basslines and warm atmospheric strings. His breakdown allows Stanfur indie rock style vocals to shine and win the attention of the clubbers. The lyrics are deep and meaningful and make us remember of the days that we were contacting our friends Face To Face and less via technology and social networks. It's the kind of tracks that can even make you feel melancholic and sad a bit cause we realise the cold and isolated world we leave in. The climax resolutes this complex situation and allow us to scream and shout with euphoric strings and energetic beats. Rudee remix is absolutely magnificent and will fit perfectly the progressive sets. Driving energetic composition with beautiful synths in the breakdown that raise the hair from your neck and touch your soul deep inside. The energy is flowing in the climax with epic uplifting synths, emotional vocals and stop and goes effects to keep the festival goers glued on the dancefloor. Last but not least Junkx remix is the one that is tougher, rougher and targets the big room/festival house followers. Ultra pumping beats, ultra aggressive basslines and the finest uplifting synths combined in harmony to deliver an exceptional result that is USA EDM style with calming relaxing breakdown and focus on the melody and less on the drop and the basslines. Highly recommended. Love iT
