Cosmic Gate

4 artist albums, 28 singles and 46 remixes, 4 Back 2 Back mix-compilations, a 1000+ international gigs played and clubbers, numbered in their millions, thrilled ... all from one chance meeting in a record label office. Nic and Bossi's Cosmic Gate's partnership has proved to be one of electronic dance music's most successful, and one of its most enduring. Creating a perfect in-studio/behind-the-decks storm, 10 years into their career they became the highest-climbers on DJ Mag's 2009 Top 100 chart and landed back amongst the 25 biggest DJs in the world the following year. Powered by their hugely received albums, club-rocking singles (inc. 'Not Enough Time', 'Body of Conflict', 'Analog Feel' and 'F.A.V.') and scene-defining classics 'Fire Wire' and 'Exploration of Space' their space in EDM's hall of fame has been secured.

In their homeland of Germany, they've retained a consistent level of chart success, with no fewer than 7 Top 40 singles to their name and scored a UK top 10 hit with 'Fire Wire'. Following the early long-players 'Rythm & Drums' and 'No More Sleep', in 2006 they released 'Earth Mover', which saw them palpably shift towards edgier, more capacious electronic dance music. It gave rise to the club hits 'Analog Feel', 'Should Have Known' and 'I Feel Wonderful' and garnered an IDMA nomination for Best Album of 2007. Latterly the album has been viewed by both press and fans as a new 'year-one' for the act. Three years later they released 'Sign of the Times', which contained 11 new tracks including the vocal anthems 'Body of Conflict' & 'Not Enough Time' (featuring Denise Rivera and Emma Hewitt respectively) and the singles 'F.A.V.', 'Flatline', 'Under Your Spell', 'London Rain' and title track. The response to the album was dramatic, with the pair receiving a Best Selling Trance Act nomination in the 2010 Beatport Awards, an IDMA nom for 'Not Enough Time' and prompted a near unprecedented 43 position move up DJ Mag's Top 100 chart. In light of its extraordinary level of success, in September 2010 a double-disc Deluxe Edition of the album was released which included all the singles remixes and exclusive, specially prepared revamps of other S.O.T.T. tracks.

At the start of 2011, with the release of 'Back 2 The Future', the Cosmics blurred the line between the compilation and artist album. Collaborating with some of their own favourite producers, they remix-revisited still-much-in-demand tracks from their first two albums. With producers like Markus Schulz, Arty, Robbie Rivera, Wippenberg, Jochen Miller, Arnej and Rank 1 remixing tracks including 'The Drums', Fire Wire', 'Exploration of Space' and 'Back 2 Earth', it produced a single release run that saw Cosmic Gate take up residence on Beatport's top 10 chart for an unbroken, unprecedented 3 months. The final months of 2011 will see the highly anticipated release of Cosmic Gate's fifth studio album, 'Wake Your Mind'.
