ATC is a euro-trance project produced by Alex Christensen (U 96, Rollergirl ...) in Hamburg. ATC stands for "A Touch Of Class". The members were Joe Murray, Tracey Elizabeth Packham, Sarah Egglestone, and Livio Salvi. All members of the group had already worked together on the musical "Cats - Cats" and it was there that Thomas M. Stein discovered them. Their first single "Around The World (La La La La)" was a huge hit: in Germany, he stayed in # 1 for 7 weeks.
It was also No. 1 in Israel and Great Britain. The song is a cover of the Russian group Ruki Vverh. In Russian, the lyrics of the song sounded completely different and the title is "Pesenka" released in 1998. Atc They recorded the video in the basement of the International Congress Center in Berlin. Then they released their first album "Planet Pop", which very quickly received the ECHO award for the best group Dance. The next singles were "My Heart Beats Like A Drum" and "Thinking Of You." Both songs also turned out to be huge hits.

An album titled "Touch The Sky" was released in March of the same year.
