Addiction Digital checking into Rehab
It's with deep regret that we're announcing that after two superb years and many incredible releases, Addiction Digital will be shutting up shop Frown

Both of us (Andy & Olly) have had an amazing time running the label which has seen us release more than thirty five great records, receive countless magazine column inches, awards, 5 star reviews, put on sell-out events and much more. However following recent significant positive developments in both our personal lives, the time has come to draw a line under the project, rather than simply drag it through the mud by neglecting or half-arsing it.

We've not made ourselves millionaires from running the label, nor have we decided to sell it off. We went into it back in 2005 with one clear aim; to give everyone some quality hard trance music to listen to, and to play out. We feel we've more than achieved this and have also helped to raise the profile of the artists we've worked with, and push the scene further into its new digital home.

We'd like to extend a MASSIVE thanks to all of those who have supported the label by either buying or dancing to the music and in particular, a huge thanks to all of the artists we've worked with.

In keeping with tradition our last release (provisional street date of July 1st) will be an EP featuring rising star April alongside Greg Brookman, who have delivered two cracking tracks. After that, the back catalogue will remain on line but, we're so sad to say, there'll be no more new releases on the label.

It's an end of an era for us, and once again we'd like to thank everyone involved for making it such a fun, engrossing experience. It's business as usual with our DJing and Production, you can't get rid of us that easily Wink

Love to all,

Andy T & Olly Perris
Addiction Digital

Addiction Digital has since the very beginning been a force to recon with and it's been a pleasure working with you both, guys - I'm sure our paths will cross again :)

Good luck with what you've got going on next!

Of course, the label hasn't folded we just don't have the time in our lives to continue signing new tracks.

The back catalogue will stay online for all to purchase.

We've thought about that, selling it, having other people run it etc but we've decided to keep it as is as we're very proud of what we've achieved and passing it onto other poeple could go either way. Thanks for the offer though dude

Hey guys,

Rather than say "sad to see you guys go" I'd like to say a big fucking well done on being one of the most consistent hard trance labels over the last few years.... It is sad to see you go as well, don't get me wrong, but I think you guys are going out on a hugely successful note, so why go out any other way?

Andy, congrats on recent personal developments in your life, I think it's fantastic!!

And to both Andy and Olly and the AD team, I'd like to thank you hugely from the depths of my heart for the support you've shown me over the last few years, and it's been a pleasure to work with you and the label and I'm proud to have numerous releases/remixes on Addiction Digital...

Well done guys!!!

I'm a massive fan of those Trevor, as well as the other tracks... I'd hope that the guys maybe could do a bit of a return in the future :)

You've got to be kidding?


Addiction is without a doubt one of the best Hard Trance labels around, constantly filling our CD wallets with top draw winners!

I'll be sad to see it go... But thank you for the tracks over the past few years and well done for doing so well with it!


Best of luck guys!
