T99 were a Belgian music duo best known for their song "Anasthasia",[1] which reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart in May 1991.[2][3]
T99 was a project created by Patrick DeMeyer,[1] who released three records under this alias.[citation needed] When he heard Olivier Abbeloos (of Quadrophonia) working on the track "Anasthasia", he suggested that they jointly release it as T99.[1]
T99 experienced brief success with "Anasthasia" and its follow-up, "Nocturne".[1] Their only album release, Children of Chaos,[1] contained seventeen tracks that varied from hardcore techno to ambient techno, along with a spoken-word performance art piece. Their sound has since been sampled by 2 Unlimited, Kylie Minogue, and the Chemical Brothers.[1]
