Ecstasy

Tiff Lacey laid down the vocals for "Ecstasy" during the sessions for ATB's fifth studio album, No Silence, released in 2004. Lacey, who also appeared on the album track "Marrakech", gave the record its voice while André Tanneberger, the German DJ and producer better known as ATB, built the track around a sample of Jocelyn Enriquez's song "A Little Bit of Ecstasy". The finished production carried an upbeat tone, crisp layering, and a memorable intro.

Kontor Records pushed "Ecstasy" out as the second single from No Silence, releasing it in Germany on 5 July 2004 and in the United States on 5 October of that year. The single went on to become one of the best known songs in ATB's catalogue, which by then already included "9 PM (Till I Come)", his 1998 single that reached No. 1 in the United Kingdom.

Tanneberger had built his reputation in trance music over the preceding years. The hook from "9 PM (Till I Come)" was reworked into "Don't Stop!" in 1999 for his debut album, Movin' Melodies, and that track became a hit in its own right. His standing in the DJ world held steady long after "Ecstasy" arrived, with DJ Magazine rankings of No. 11 in 2009 and 2010, No. 15 in 2011, and a No. 1 placement on The DJ List that same year.
