Biography

Specializing in Electronica, Chillout and Clubmusic with an organic twist, German duo York started as a collaboration between two brothers, Torsten Stenzel and Jörg Stenzel. 
 Founded in 1997 the project is considered a pioneer within guitar-driven electronic music. 
 York's first release The Awakening became a massive chart succes when released in 98. In 99, the brothers Stenzel released On The Beach, a cover of the old Chris Rea tune. The move proved a shrewd one, with On The Beach making it into the top five on the U.K. singles chart and to Gold Status in the UK and Top 10 in the Billboard Dance Charts. Concurrent York was featured on ATB's popular trance single The Fields Of Love. 
 York's early hit singles, Reachers Of Civilisation included, were collected on their 2001 debut album Experience. A second album, Peace, followed in 2005. 
By 2007, Torsten decided to move his family from Ibiza to Antigua. 
 2012 saw the release of the album Islanders. Heavily influenced by the sounds of the Caribbean it featured a plethora of guest artists, including Mike Oldfield and Jennifer Paige. 
York's fourth album Traveller was released on Blackhole Music and his fifth Album Indigo was more dance focused and released on Enhanced Music. It also featured a collaboration with his famous daughter Au/Ra. 
 In 2023 York released a single with ATB and Au/Ra called "Highs & Lows".
