It's been 10 years since Cosmic Gate launched Wake Your Mind Radio and 12 months since it past its landmark 500th episode. Over that time, it’s documented all aspects of the group’s progression, one selected-and-mixed track at a time.
Much has changed in the electronic music sphere since Cosmic Gate last released a ‘Wake Your Mind Sessions’ compilation. In its time, Nic & Bossi have jumped wholeheartedly into the live streaming space, embracing the medium with a succession of sundown shows from rooftops around Miami, NYC, Mexico, Bali and most recently Ibiza.
Cosmic Gate recently premiered their new single, ‘Brave’, during their ASOT 2024 set, and apparently, the response they received from those in attendance in Rotterdam was ‘greater than even the duo dared hope’.
Cosmic Gate seem to have been on a vocal release streak over the last 12 months, with ‘Hear Me Out’, ‘We Got The Fire’, ‘Follow You Anywhere’, ‘Emotions Of Colour’, et al, all shaping the sound of ‘MOSAIIK’. This feeling grows higher now as Nic & Bossi delve back into ‘Chapter Two’s tracklist, to release ‘Mirador’.
‘Chapter One’ of Cosmic Gate’s ‘MOSAIIK’ album series touched off a post-lockdown tour, bigger and more extensive than some could’ve imagined. Now the GRAMMY-nominated act start the new year with the announcement of the now-imminent arrival of ‘MOSAIIK Chapter Two’. The 3rd of March isn’t that far away, but it may seem much closer still when you learn what Nic & Bossi have in store for the interim.
Having lent her tones to its first and third singles, Diana Miro is likely now the singer most readily associated with Nic & Bossi’s 11th album project. Cementing that rep, the trio re-team this month to add another fragment to ‘MOSAIIK’s sonic mosaic. After ‘Blame’ and ‘Nothing To Hide’, the Amsterdam-based singer is aiming to burn up the room again with ‘Hear Me Out’.
Having just completed their coast-to-coast 30-date spring tour of the States, Cosmic Gate single out another track from their summer-upcoming ‘MOSAIIK Chapter 2’ album. For it the GRAMMY nominated duo have been joined by Nathan Nicholson, frontman of alt-indie grouping The Boxer Rebellion and more recently even, vocalist on releases by Claptone, Tinlicker, and Tom Staar.
The front end of 2022 sees GRAMMY-nominated duo Cosmic Gate up their livestream game once again. Today is the date and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is the place for their next throw-down, where, on the picturesque Playa Del Caballo and its Casitas Maraika venue, Nic & Bossi will deliver another two hour live stream.
The summer of ‘21 saw the release of their album ‘MOSAIIK Chapter One’, which saw Cosmic Gate release the singles ‘Nothing To Hide’, ‘Blame’ and ‘Vertigo’. Now, January 2022 sees the duo take the album on its first official tour. Bridging the gap between the two ‘Chapters’, its creators will personally deliver the music from the albums to audiences across the States.
On 20 August, Cosmic Gate will release the first stage of their new artist album. Trailed throughout the early parts of 2021 by single releases and live streams, ‘MOSAIIK’ will platform nine cuts from the GRAMMY-nominated duo. Mirroring the same delivery system adopted by their 2017 ‘Materia’ albums, the album will be shared across two ‘Chapters’, ‘MOSAIIK’s ‘II’ styled title is a direct nod to the group’s 11th artist long-player.
