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]
