So – word to the wise – keep scanning that Cosmic skyline!Ībove & Beyond and Marty Longstaff Reunite on ‘Chains’ Further, ‘Blame’s official music video won’t be far behind and there are already rumblings that a full re-airing of the Miami Open Skies set will take place in the (none too distant!) future. Now, if you’re licking a mental wound over a miss of the Miami Open Skies events, hey, all’s not lost! Featuring a rather special guest dropping by, the show’s aftermovie has gone online, and is accessible through Cosmic Gate’s YouTube. With ‘Blame’ as its lead single and an eye on an early summer release, ‘MOSAIIK’ – their eleventh long-player – will bring even more ‘forward ever backward never’ to our Cosmic cosmos. ‘Blame’ wasn’t the only unboxing Nic & Bossi did during the Miami’s Open Skies show, with an end-of-set reveal that a new Cosmic Gate album was in the advanced stages of production. I can’t wait to share it with the world!” They’ve produced an amazing deep sound that truly reflects the mood of our times. I’m so happy this song has landed with Cosmic Gate. We endlessly spin in this social media “mill” and it’s so hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. It’s a sad situation, but I always ask myself: do we really need what we want, as nowadays others influence most of our desires. On the striking lyrics that lie at the heart of ‘Blame’s story, Diana Miro said: “I wrote this song when one of my friends was struggling with plans – again – not coming to life. Marked out with dramatically drawn strings, pulsing percs, twisted synths and sub-bass-boom, over seven mood-brooding minutes, the track moves emotively from simmer to sear. Given lyrical & vocal smoulder by singer/songwriter Diana Miro, it finds Nic & Bossi bringing music with a more introspective edge. With us, we can look at each other and say “Hey, I’m a little stuck here.Premiered during their Miami Open Skies livestream last weekend, GRAMMY-nominated electronic music act Cosmic Gate’s first 2021 single arrives on streaming platforms and stores today. 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? 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.
