Biography

Kyau & Albert is the German trance duo of Ralph Kyau and Steven Moebius Albert, who first met in the summer of 1994 and released their debut single "Let Me In" in 1996. In 1997 they founded Euphonic Records, which has remained continuously active since and is among the longest-running melodic-trance imprints. The duo originally recorded as "Kyau vs. Albert" and renamed to the current "Kyau & Albert" billing in 2006. The catalogue includes the studio albums "Here We Are Now" (2004), "Worldvibe" (2006), and "15 Years" (2012), and singles "Outside" (2001), "Velvet Morning" (2003), "Made Of Sun" (2004), and "Are You Fine?" (2006). The 2010 Anjunabeats collaboration "Anphonic" with Above & Beyond — released on Anjunabeats Volume 8 — is among the most-broadcast tracks of the catalogue. Their monthly radio show "Euphonic Sessions" has been distributed via AH.FM and DI.FM and re-broadcast across the wider trance-radio network. They appeared in the DJ Magazine Top 100 DJs poll for four consecutive years between 2007 and 2010. More recent output continues on Euphonic Records and Anjunabeats, including "Luminous" (Euphonic, 2025) — featured in Markus Schulz's "In Search of Sunrise 21" — and "Freeq" (Euphonic, 2026). Their Spotify monthly listener count sits around 154K across the catalogue.

Sound Style

Melodic vocal trance built around long-form lead-synth design and hook-led songwriting, with Steven Albert credited on lead vocals on a number of the duo's singles. The catalogue has moved across vocal-trance, melodic-progressive, and more recently tech-trance / driving-progressive territory, while remaining anchored to the Euphonic Records melodic-trance lineage and the wider Anjunabeats / Armada broadcast circuit.
