Cosmic GateOver 11 boundary pushing years, Nic Chagall and Bossi have developed Cosmic Gate into one of the most creative and highly-sought-after electronic music acts on the planet. Revered uber-producers, their combined musical acumen has made them evergreen favourites of trance musics highest echelon. Four hugely-received albums have transported tracks like Not Enough Time, Body of Conflict, Analog Feel, Fav and classics including Exploration of Space and Fire Wire onto a now uncountable number of dancefloors. As DJs, the effortless cool of their kinetic, enthralling live sets are seen by hundreds of thousands of club and festival goers annually. Its this perfect storm of production and spinning power that saw them become the highest climbers in DJ Mags 2009 Top 100 chart and land at no. 24 in 2010.The pair first collaborated in the studio after a chance meeting late in 98 at a label office in Cologne. Its a production partnership that has become one of the dance worlds most successful. In their homeland of Germany, theyve maintained a consistent level of chart success, with no fewer than 7 Top 40 singles to their name and claimed a UK top 10 hit with Fire Wire. Drawing on a broad-range of their individual musical tastes and inspirations, theyve continued to modify and enhance their sound.Following up the long players Rythm & Drums and No More Sleep, in 2006 they released Earth Mover, which saw a shift towards edgier, more expansive 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 this was viewed by the press as a new Year 1 for Cosmic Gate. Three years later Nic and Bossi released their much anticipated follow up. Sign of the Times contained 11 new tracks including vocal anthems Body of Conflict & Not Enough Time (featuring Denise Rivera and Emma Hewitt respectively) and the singles Fav, Flatline, Under Your Spell, London Rain and title track Sign Of The Times. The response to the album was nothing short of meteoric. They received a Best Selling Trance Act nomination in the 2010 Beatport Awards; scored an IDMA nom for Not Enough Time and were catapulted 43 places up DJ Mags 2009 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.As DJs Nic and Bossi continue to whip floors to frenzy-level in all four corners. Most recently theyve rocked some of Americas most prominent events -Electric Zoo, The Electric Daisy Festival, Audiotistic and Perfecto Night in Las Vegas among them. Theyve brought mayhem to Ibizas 2010 season with hugely received performances at Armada at Amnesia and Judgement Sundays, played mammoth the Global Gathering festival in Russia and headlined Godskitchens tours in Australia and Mexico. Theyve appeared in DJ Magazines list of Top 100 spinners for 7 consecutive years now and are regular festival attraction, spinning at events like Trance Energy, Mysteryland and Dance Valley in Holland, Smirnoff Experience in India and on the horizon Future Music in Australia in 2011.Back2Back, Cosmic Gates on-going compilation series was devised as an at-home audio-expo of the pairs club-wowing sound. 2010 saw the release of the 4th volume (through Hollands highly-respected Black Hole Recordings label). Bringing Bossi and Nics tight, tense, future-proofed trance/prog/electro hybrid to the forefront, it once again included many of their own track edits.
