About Me

Adrenaline Dept. has burst onto the UK Hard Dance scene basically out of nowhere with all the releases so far hitting top positions in the TidyDigital.com, JunoDownload.com & TrackItDown.net sales charts. With current and forthcoming releases signed to leading vinyl & digital labels such as Deprivation, Nuklearpuppy, Oblivion Recordings, Masif, Addiction Digital, GRH Recordings, High Drive Recordings & Presence to name but a few, and with tracks on albums like Hard Dance Awards 2008, Tidy Weekender 11, Elevate 2, Masif Hardtrance Bootlegs 2008 and Tunnel Trance Force plus massive support from lots of the top jocks on the scene, it seems there’s just no stopping! Blending futuristic psytrance with elements from UK hardtrance, Thomas delivers driving basslines, frantic percussion, euphoric breakdowns and full-on psychedelic riffs combined with vocal hooks that really stick to mind. This nordic producer has crafted a truly unique sound and is fast becoming a major force in forward thinking hard dance music.
Leaving the studio and entering the DJ Booth, none of the edge is lost – Oozing charisma, energy and passion and with characteristic and distinctive mixing following 14 years of experience - he literally gives it all he's got and then some more! Having already firmly made a mark on the London Hard Dance scene with UK debut for Twisted Riot! @ The Fridge alongside BK, Ed Real, Trevor McLachlan, P.H.A.T.T and more summer 2006 and with an own EP launch party @ The Addiction X Mas Ball on Sat Dec 9th alongside Nick Sentience, Sean Tyas, Ian Betts & Jason Cortez – Adrenaline Dept. is now ready to unleash the new material on audiences worldwide.

Quotes:
Nick Sentience (Extreme Music):
"Adrenaline Dept. is the hottest new hard dance act on the scene at the moment. I'm rinsing 'Pick up the vibe' in my sets!!"
Andy Whitby (Frantic, Nukleuz):
Adrenaline Dept. - The Escape [Deprivation]
"Hardhouse for me has to be powerful, fun and have a huge hook. This record has all three, it's one of those tracks you can't get tired of hearing and will be in my box for a LONG time. HUGE!!!"
Jason Cortez (Nuklearpuppy, Nukleuz):
"Adrenaline Dept are without doubt Scandanavias premièr hard-dance producers. Coming from what seamed like nowhere to unleash a barrage of high octane, energy packed dancefloor fillers!"
Ben (Wid & Ben) (Tidy, Red Management):
Adrenaline Dept. - The Escape [Deprivation]
These boys just keep getting better and better. Norways finest export come up trumps with this belting hard house monster. Top of our chart since August its been doing the damage in our sets ever since. Absolutely blinding!!
Rob Tissera, M8 Magazine, Issue 208 July 2006, Page 100:
Adrenaline Dept. EP1 [Addiction Digital]
Addiction Digital and Olly Perris have done us proud here, with an absolutely sublime EP that has been a mainstay in my recent sets. My favourite of the two tracks is Music In My Mind which takes a bold rasping bassline and steeps it in a sumptuous uplifting melody with a meteoric breakdown. This is a huge tune which has firmly stampled this new label firmly onto the Hard Dance Map. Try and grab a copy of this as soon as you can!
Score M7/M8
Trevor McLachlan (Twisted, Tidy, Impact Recordings) :
Adrenaline Dept. EP1 [Addiction Digital]
Hadn't heard of Adrenaline Dept. till I received this track, but I'm hoping to hear more from them. Music In My Mind oozes energy up till the break, where the eerie strings and vocal take over, before a killer main riff kicks in and tears the floor apart. Fantastic hard trance track doing the business for me at the moment!"
Olly Perris (Nukleuz, Riot! Addiction):
Adrenaline Dept. EP1 [Addiction Digital] Fusing classic vocal snippets with a rasping bassline, uplifting melodies and a huge dramatic breakdown, once again the boys have created a track which, as were sure youll agree, sits perfectly within the definition of what hard trance is in 2006. Quite simply a monster track and being supported by just about everyone lucky enough to have a copy direct from the boys thus far, we really do predict massive things for this release. Not content with giving us the one slammer, the boys also press all the buttons marked ANTHEM to create the AA, entitled "Something More", a huge energetic slice of uplifting hard dance which features just about everything to get your crowds energised. The boys have written an absolutely stunning melody which just smacks of pure class. We think youll agree this is an absolutely subliminal effort from our Nordic friends.
Ben Moreteavicar (www.gurn.net) :
Adrenaline Dept. EP1 [Addiction Digital] Adrenaline Dept. are firing out some of the most euphoric, brilliantly constructed Hard Trance at the moment. Tight, punchy percussion, big throbbing melodic basslines and huge exciting riffs are the order of the day. 'In My Mind' takes a classic vocal sample and welds it over some soaring Technikal-synth work in deft style, while the pick of the two 'Something More' takes some subtle, dark acid lines as the starting point alongside a fat bouncy bassline before the majestic, complex lead line emerges. Pounding kick drums and snare rolls join up with the riff in the breakdown to build up the tension. More surprises are kept in store for later in the track. Very accomplished stuff and hopefully one of the names to keep an eye on in the next year! 9/10
Ian Betts :
Adrenaline Dept "Something More" [Addiction Digital] Pick of the two tracks, great riff,much fatter sounding euro hard trance. Like the 303 touches as well! 8/10
