The pair met in Cologne, Germany and after hitting it off they decided to try their hand at making music together. Realising that their combined talents meant musical gold, the pair became Cosmic Gate and began producing fresh tracks and remixing existing music.
Cosmic 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. 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.
Picking up significant buzz from these initial tracks, Cosmic Gate then went on to release “Fire Wire” in 2001. The track stormed the UK singles chart and peaked at number nine.
Cosmic Gate has released six albums, “Rhythm & Drums”, “No More Sleep”, “Earth Mover”, “Sign of the Times”, “Wake Your Mind” and “Start to Feel” between 2001 and 2014, with their initial two albums being their most successful.
The duo is well known throughout Europe and they have placed in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJ’s feature multiple times. 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.
Most notably known for hits such as FireWire and Exploration Of Space, Cosmic Gate are a fantastic dance duo. I've been listening to them since Rythm & Drums in 2001, I'm a massive fan and see them every chance I get. Every show I have been too I've been blown away and get more and more excited. These guys are premium DJs in today's day and age and keep it coming. 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 don't stop for anything and certainly know how to make a statement amongst today's plethora of DJ's.
Most EDM nowadays is all about the drop and high energy beats with crazy syncopation that I don't care for. The true masters of trance are Cosmic Gate and they keep it coming! Since I first saw them live they've mixed up the set to feature the latest and greatest in the DJ world as well as keeping their classics and throwing some of their newest material in. A solid diverse set list that any true fan, or newbie, will enjoy immensely. Cosmic Gate certainly get around and if you get the chance it's worth far more than the price of admission to a club or event to see these guys alone. Don't miss out!
