Wednesday 6th November 2019

Release date: TBC Label: B1 Recordings / Sony Music

“When I wrote the song in the nineties, I had never imagined it could become a classic one day, but I was always convinced that it will be reinterpret by the right people someday. As I was contacted by YouNotUs, I knew the time had come.” – Wolfgang Schrödl alias SENEX

There are some melodies, that will ingrain in your collective memories forever. Undeniably, the hook
of the track “Narcotic” is among them. In 1999, the German alternative-rock band Liquido was
catapulted into the German charts with the above-mentioned song and catered for millions of people to remember the incredibly catchy and immensely powerful melody.

In order to celebrate the 20th anniversary of “Narcotic”, the Berlin-based and multi-platinum awarded DJ and producer duo, YouNotUs, created a new version of the Worldwide hit (more than 8 million sold units to date). Choosing a more contemporary approach of “Narcotic”, their version features Janieck (Lost Frequencies, Alle Farben) who wrote new lyrics to the original song, and none other than Liquido front man SENEX alias Wolfgang Schrödl.

With over 42 million streams to date, the new version has become an instant smash, hitting the Top 10 European APC, gaining over 110k Worldwide radio plays to date, hitting #1 Shazam in Germany for 10 weeks, and has been a staple in the Global Shazam Top 50 for months thanks to popularity in France, Netherlands, Austria, Spain, & Switzerland to name a few.

Now with big remixes from one of the UK finest producers, Capital Radio’s Anton Powers, and the kings of EDM, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike with Ummet Ozcan who deliver a powerhouse Big Room rework, ‘Narcotic’s popularity is sure to ascend even further.
