Cortex Thrill

Cortex Thrill is a dynamic Croatian electronic music duo that has been shaping the sound of progressive and trance music since the early 1990s. Founded by Ivo Topolovčan (also known as Ivo T. Montina, alias Cortex) and Sven Gleđa, the group quickly established themselves as pioneers in the Croatian electronic scene. After releasing their first tracks in 1993, they caught the attention of Bonzai Records, helping to put the label on the map with early classics like "Intro" and "Duction." Their high-energy, hypnotic productions—marked by pulsing basslines and euphoric synths—have earned them a devoted following worldwide, and their tracks have appeared in major compilations and DJ sets by industry icons. Over the years, Cortex Thrill has continued to evolve, blending elements of tech trance and house while staying true to their signature sound.

With a discography that includes both albums and singles, Cortex Thrill remains a vital force in electronic music, regularly releasing new tracks and collaborating with other artists on labels such as Bonzai Progressive. Their music, known for its technical precision and emotional depth, has kept them at the forefront of the genre, inspiring fans and fellow producers alike to this day.
