T99 were a Belgian music group best known for their song "Anasthasia",[1] which reached number 14 on the UK Singles Chart in May 1991.[2]
T99 was initially Patrick DeMeyer,[1] who released three solo works under this pseudonym. However, he heard Olivier Abbeloos (also of Quadrophonia) working on the track "Anasthasia", and suggested that they jointly release it as T99.[1]
From then on, T99 was a duo made up of de Meyer and Abbeloos.[1] They experienced brief success with "Anasthasia" and the follow-up, "Nocturne".[1] Their only album release, Children of Chaos,[1] contained seventeen tracks which varied from hardcore techno to ambient techno, along with a spoken-word performance art piece. Their sound was sampled in tracks by 2 Unlimited, Kylie Minogue, and The Chemical Brothers.[1]
"Anasthasia" appeared on the soundtrack to the 1999 film, Human Traffic.
De Meyer later went on to write material for Technotronic and 2 Unlimited, while Olivier Abbeloos started the label Holographic.
