Torsten Stenzel
Torsten Stenzel is one of the most successful german club music producers of the 90s and 2000s. He produced and collaborated with projects & Dj’s like Dj Sakin & Friends ("Braveheart", "Nomansland" etc.), Taucher, Talla 2XLC, Moguai, ATB, Tandu “Ayla”, Jam & Spoon, Mauro Picotto, Faithless, Moby and many more.
At the end of the 90s, the project "York" was born together with his brother Jörg Stenzel and immediately the first single "The Awakening" was a sensational success in all European countries (e.g. gold status in UK) and set a trademark with the typical "York" guitar. Its also named today one of the most influential Balearic Trance Records.
With the second single "On The Beach" this success was extended even further and reached among others the Top 3 in the UK as well as chart positions all over Europe and a No.1 in the USA.
The original artist “Chris Rea” was so enthusiastic about Stenzel's cover version - which, by the way, sold more units than his 1986 original - and supported the promotion with, among other things, a joint appearance on the British "Top Of The Pops" show. In the meantime legendary Kryder remixed On the Beach with York and went No.1 in the Beatportcharts with it in 2021 and ALOK picked it up und released it under “Seek Love” in 2024. The track made 15 mill. streams within 3 months.
Since 2023 Torsten is working on his new Album that will be released on Armada Music under YORK, is a regular guest on “A State of Trance” and will release various singles on Technoclub Rec., Enhanced Music, Pure Trance to name a view Labels to solidified the cult status of YORK, which continues to this day.
In the last 5 years he had a lot to do with his singing daughter "Au/Ra" (UK hit "Panic Room", Jax Jones "Miss you"), whom he looked after as manager and producer.
