Movin' Melodies is a record label founded by Dutch producer Patrick Prins in 1992.[1] It quickly gained recognition as one of the pioneers of the handbag/hardbag sound. Following its inception, Patrick Prins collaborated with various producers, including German producer ATB. Notably, ATB adopted the Movin' Melodies[2] name for his debut studio album.

Unlike the typical singles associated with ATB's style, the album's tracks deviate from the usual ATB sound. Andreas Tanneberger, aka ATB, aimed to create a diverse album, incorporating not only club-oriented tracks but also quiet, melodic compositions inspired by artists such as Enigma, Mike Oldfield and Jean Michel Jarre. Notably, track 12, commonly misnamed "Ocean Trance," is titled "Beach Vibes."

On Spotify, tracks 7 and 12 are omitted from the tracklist.
