After receiving Gold-and Platinum awards, the "Echo" Nomination and 3 million sold Records he is without a doubt a 'Master of Club and Dancemusic'.
He began his musical career early in his childhood, learning the piano from the tender age of 5 when he began his classical training. Until the age of 18 classical music and theory were his life. He was teaching piano lessons as an privat teacher and even played the church organ in his home town for 3 years.
In the early 90's his orientation changed, and he discovered the rapidly growing techno/house movement. Little by little he put together his own studio and combined parts of his own musical production skills under the broad control of classical theory.
His first success came in 1992 with N.U.K.E's 'Nana' which shot to number 1 in the charts in Holland, Belgium and Italy.From there Torsten began working with a variety of DJ's;
DJ's such as Taucher with whom he created the tracks 'Infinity','Atlantis', and 'Fantasy', all of which went Top 100 in the German Sales charts.
With DJ Taucher he was forcing the remixing of other Major Artists, after 53 Remixes 1997, he was voted the best remixer of the year by the readers of Germany's top Raveline Magazine.His reputation began to grow worldwide, culminating in releases and chart success. With a Dj from Frankfurt called 'Sakin', he started the Project -Sakin and Friends- on his own Label 'Planet Love Records'. This massive Trance Hit was since Robert Miles 'Children' one of the Best selling Trance Record ever in Germany. It made Gold and Platinum also in England, Denmark, Italy and sold nearly 700.000 Copies.
He was nominated for the best selling national Act with the 'Echo'.
One year later, 1999, his Project 'York' started to burn in the UK. With a Coverversion of Chris Reas 'On the Beach' he went No 1 in the British Salescharts and three times Top 30 with the follow Singles 'The Awakening', 'Farewell to the Moon' and 'Fields of Love' (together with ATB)
