It should be pointed out that Narcotic Thrust’s name comes not from references to intravenous drug abuse or even from substance enhanced sexual activity, but is simply an anagram of Stuart’s name!
Stuart began with some seminal slabs of progressive house on Limbo Records in the early 90’s under such guises as "Havana" as well as remixing the big names of the day such as The Grid and Rozalla. Then under the name Umboza he scored 2 top 15 hits for Positiva Records with “Cry India” and “Sunshine”. Stuart continued to write and produce with cream of the dance industry. He was recently responsible for the cheeky mash-up of Kylie and New Order used on the Brit Awards.
Native Australian Andy teamed up with Stuart in London on the back of successful DJ residencies at The Leisure Lounge and Club UK. Since then Andy has taken up a weekly spot on Kiss FM and toured the globe with his record box, while making records for labels such as Jive, Whoop! And Pitch Black (NYC) and compiling a successful "Parallels" mix album for Logic Records.
Andy’s dancefloor sensibilities and Stuart’s production skills led to Narcotic Thrust’s first release “Funky Acid Baby” aired on the now defunct Indochina Records. Some juicy remixes for Apollo 404, Real 2 Real and Amen UK followed.
After a hiatus of a few years the pair have now made a stunning comeback in the shape of the deep, funk ridden anthem "Safe From Harm". This killer track was signed immediately after Pete Tong witnessed at first hand the crowd reaction the track got from heavy rotation on the decks of a certain Mr. Tenaglia. The track features the vocal highlights of Zero 7 cohort Yvonne John–Lewis and a hook line co-penned by Rob Davis of "Can’t Get You Out of My Head’ fame". The resultant combination was enough to send the Miami conference into raptures and cause a frenzy amongst DJs trying to get hold of the vinyl. Its champions are as wide-ranging as Roger Sanchez and Paul Oakenfold.
"Safe From Harm" is now set to become a dancefloor classic and has been described as the coolest vocal house record since “Hideaway'

Narcotic Thrust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hate the mundane things they say
The boredom sets in nine to five
At night that's when I come alive
I long to be connected
I long to be affected
The bright lights beckon me
Beckon me to you
I like it when we go to extremes
I like it when we enter my dreams
I like it when I feel your touch
I like it, I like it so much
There must be more to life than this
This life you surely will not miss
To spend my time waiting in line
Search for something, a grand design
I long to be connected
I long to be affected
The bright lights beckon me
Beckon me to you
I like it when we go to extremes
I like it when we enter my dreams
I like it when I feel your touch
I like it, I like it so much
I like it when we're one on one
I like it when we come undone
I like it when we go to extremes
You let me, let me live my dreams
I long to be connected
I long to be affected
The bright lights beckon me
Beckon me to you
I like it when we go to extremes
I like it when we enter my dreams
I like it when I feel your touch
I like it, I like it so much
I like it when we're one on one
I like it when we come undone
I like it when we go to extremes
You let me, let me live my dreams
I like it so much
