Tomcraft began working as a DJ in Munich in 1994, shifting between techno and the emerging progressive trance style. The following year, he released his first track, "This Is No House". He first met in Eniac in 1996, and the two immediately started producing music together, beginning with "Viva". The same year yielded the track "Prosac", but this did not achieve success until it was re-released in 2001.
2002 was also the year Tomcraft released "Loneliness", a progressive vocal track that eventually reached #1 in the UK [1]. The financial success allowed him to found his own record label, Great Stuff Recordings, followed up in 2005 with Craft Music.
His song "Overdose" was featured in the 2003 movie Party Monster for its parallel theme of drug use to the Club Kids of New York City.

She died from an overdose.
The lyrics to DJ Tomcraft's song "Overdose" describe a person who is searching for fulfillment through various means, including drugs, possessions, and sexual encounters. The repetition of "She doesn't get enough" emphasizes the desperate and unsatisfied nature of this person's search. The mention of cocaine, hard drugs, and pure drugs suggests a willingness to take risks for the sake of feeling something more extreme than what life has to offer naturally. The listing of money, slots, and hose (possibly referring to prostitutes) as potential sources of fulfilment suggests a desire for instant gratification and a lack of direction in life.
Sadly, the song ends with the stark reality of the consequences of this pursuit of satisfaction: death from an overdose. The final line serves as a somber reminder that the desire for more can have severe consequences.

To everyone asking about the video:
From the perspective presented in the music video, there are two couples
that are friends: 1 blonde, and 1 dark haired, male, and female in each
couple.
They go clubbing together and consume some drugs (which is not explicitly shown in the video for more than a second). At first, everybody is having a good time,
and satisfies themselves and their partner in the club. But as the high
really starts to kick in, the the blonde-haired individuals in each
couple become bored with their respective partners, and grow wild - they
begin attempting to cheat on their partners with the opposite, while
the darker haired people become overwhelmed or jealous as a result.
The blonde people appear to adopt confident reactions to the drugs,
whereas the dark haired individuals exhibit frightened responses. The
blonde haired male becomes lustful and challenges the relationship
between the dark-haired male and his blonde girlfriend. The dark-haired
guy becomes extremely defensive, and later murders the blonde guy when
he finds him advancing on his willing (blonde) girlfriend.
The dark haired woman finds her blonde boyfriend murdered, and overwhelmed by
the drugs and emotional shock, begins falling into a coma. The blonde woman follows her back into the club, and with the help of a bouncer, carries the dark-haired
woman into a VIP section or private area of the club.
We see the blonde woman, and the dark-haired man beginning to fully
comprehend the consequences of their actions.
As the lyrics of the song imply: "she died from an overdose." However,
the one who "doesn't get enough," and who is harmed as a result are not
the same person. The blonde girl kills the dark haired girl by becoming
too promiscuous and insensitive, and the dark haired guy kills the
blonde guy by becoming too jealous and defensive.
The overall message seems to be something along the lines of: Don't push
anything (physical or emotional) to excess, because everyone might get
hurt badly in the end.
