Biografie
YORK brings guitar-led melody into electronic music, moving between the uplift of trance and the more relaxed pace of downtempo. Brothers Torsten and Jörg Stenzel established that combination in the late 1990s with The Awakening and their version of Chris Rea's On the Beach. The Fields of Love with ATB became another enduring part of the project's early identity.
Torsten now runs YORK from Antigua and Barbuda, continuing to develop the music through albums and collaborations rather than staying within the sound of those first singles. On Infinite, released in 2025, he brought progressive house, pop and drum and bass into the picture alongside trance and chillout. The island also enters the writing in more personal ways: he has described tracks inspired by kitesurfing friends and the colours of a Caribbean sunset.
Performances at Luminosity Beach Festival and Bootshaus connect YORK to the trance dancefloor, while collaborations with Rank 1 and The Thrillseekers sit alongside the project's more reflective material. Played melody remains at the centre of its changing musical surroundings.
