'''Tomcraft''' (real name '''Thomas Brückner''') is a [[Germany|German]] [[disc-jockey|DJ]] and [[record producer|producer]]. He is specialized in [[progressive house]] and [[progressive trance]] and is better known for having created the tracks "Loneliness" and "Prosac", working alongside [[Eniac (record producer)|Eniac]].
Tomcraft began working as a DJ in [[Munich]] in 1994, shifting between [[techno music|techno]] and the emerging progressive trance style. The following year, he released his first track, "This Is No House". He first met 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 [http://top40-charts.com/song.php?sid=5786]. 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 (2003 film)|Party Monster]]'' for its parallel theme of drug use to the [[Club Kids]] of [[New York City]].
Tomcraft has released four albums so far, ''All I Got'' (2001), ''MUC'' (2003), ''HyperSexyConscious'' (2006) and ''For The Queen'' (2007), all on [[Kosmo Records]].
