COSMIC GATE HOW TO
These guys don't stop for anything and certainly know how to make a statement amongst today's plethora of DJ's. Their latest album, Start to Feel, is simply fantastic as well with songs Yai, Falling Back and Coming Home, being a few of the standouts. These guys are premium DJs in today's day and age and keep it coming. Every show I have been too I've been blown away and get more and more excited. I've been listening to them since Rythm & Drums in 2001, I'm a massive fan and see them every chance I get. Most notably known for hits such as FireWire and Exploration Of Space, Cosmic Gate are a fantastic dance duo. Fans love them for their remixes as much as their original content and Cosmic Gate is well known for its remixes of artists such as Tiësto, Deadmau5 and Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. The duo is well known throughout Europe and they have placed in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJ’s feature multiple times. The track stormed the UK singles chart and peaked at number nine.Ĭosmic Gate has released six albums, “Rhythm & Drums”, “No More Sleep”, “Earth Mover”, “Sign of the Times”, “Wake Your Mind” and “Start to Feel” between 20, with their initial two albums being their most successful. Picking up significant buzz from these initial tracks, Cosmic Gate then went on to release “Fire Wire” in 2001. The duo quickly began winning increasing numbers of fans and the release of their fourth single, “Exploration of Space” went to number 12 in Germany and entered the UK singles chart at number 29. Realising that their combined talents meant musical gold, the pair became Cosmic Gate and began producing fresh tracks and remixing existing music.Ĭosmic Gate’s initial successes were in their native Germany where tracks "The Drums", "Mental Atmosphere" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" were all top 100 tracks. With us, we can look at each other and say “Hey, I’m a little stuck here.The pair met in Cologne, Germany and after hitting it off they decided to try their hand at making music together. Sometimes one will be on fire, forcing the other to push a little harder.īossi: Sometimes when you’re DJing solo, the pressure builds because you have to come up with something on your own.
I think you have to remember that we’re both different humans and we will not always be on the same page. Nic Chagall: Good question, I never really thought about it. How do you feed off of each other's energy?
COSMIC GATE FULL
You can see your friendship on full display when you’re performing on stage. We developed our friendship alongside working on Cosmic Gate. We knew the same people and they pushed us to work together. Other DJs work together because they’re friends or they grew up together, but we were not friends when we first started Cosmic Gate. We were actually joking around earlier, saying we started the project twenty years ago but have only been friends for ten.
How have you guys managed to keep your friendship alive over two decades? It feels like our sound is taking yet another step forward. Right now, as we’re working on another album, we feel like we want to push the boundaries again. It made sense that Cosmic Gate sounded exactly like it did at that moment. At that moment, the combined years of Cosmic Gate were defined by the tracks that were in Materia. It’s always true for the time it was said. In a previous interview, you had stated that your latest double album, Materia, would be the defining sound of Cosmic Gate. The fact that we would ever get nominated, it never crosses your mind. I said to her, “I’ve heard a lot of things in my life do I really need to sit down for this?” She said, “Yes, yeah sit down. Our manager called us and asked us to sit down because she said she had big news. We knew there was a good opportunity to build upon that vocal.ĭid you ever have any expectations that the remix would garner a Grammy nomination? When we decided on “Only Road” we knew the song had this insanely great vocal but the music itself was very minimal. The singles were too obvious of a choice, so we looked at the other songs that had vocals that worked on the dance floor. Thank you! Gabriel & Dresden actually asked us to pick any track off their album and remix it. Other big moments were playing Tomorrowland for the first time and the first time our tracks made it to the top ten charts in England or Germany.Ĭongratulations on your Grammy nomination for your remix of Gabriel & Dresden’s “Only Road.” How did you decide to remix that specific track? What has been your proudest moment these past two decades? During a recent interview, the reporter who interviewed us said, "you’re like two boys on the playground just playing around." We want to keep that vibe.
