      “We didn’t set out to create the most definitive Cosmic Gate releases ever”, imparts Nic Chagall, when talking about the process behind his and Bossi’s latest album project. “It is how it turned out though”. “With each week that passed, Bossi picks up “and each track we finished over its 12-month timeline, we became evermore aware of how fundamentally ‘Cosmic Gate’ the developing album sounded. Who knows?” he ventures, “maybe these’ll be the ones that, over time, people will hold up and say: “hey, this is what Cosmic Gate are all about”.

      Hence ‘Materia’ (Mātěrĭa - Latin. Fem. Noun. Decl.): base, matter, essence, the substance that all things are made of) became their working, and then final titles.

      You’ve probably noticed that we’re speaking in plurals here, for there is indeed something of a twist to their seventh longplayer. The 20th of January 2017 sees Germany’s most successful and enduring electronic music duo release Chapter.One in ‘Materia’s two part arc (the second primed for further into 2017).

      Nic says: “the longer we worked on the album, the more ideas came on the table: ones for songs, sounds, collaborations and other elements. We met with other artists and talked to them about it. We found a lot of them shared our vision and subsequently many wanted to become a part of it. The upshot of it all was we ended up with far more album demos than any of our previous releases, and with a higher ratio of ones we wanted to include too. It became a bit of a monster!” he says with a grin. “Far too many for one release. It was a nice problem to have, sure, but a problem nonetheless! So the idea came about to tell the story of ‘Materia’ over more than one album.”

      2017 then has all the makings of Cosmic Gate’s ne plus ultra year. Departure for ‘Materia’ begins with ‘Chapter.One’ on Jan 20th!

      Pre-order ‘Materia – Chapter.One’ today here smarturl.it/CGMateriaChapterOne and receive its three Instant Grat pre-order singles ‘Fall Into You’ (16.12), ‘Halo’ (30.12) and ‘Dynamic’ w/Ferry Corsten (13.01) pre-release!



      NEW COSMIC GATE SINGLE ‘FALL INTO YOU’, WITH JES OUT TODAY

      ‘Fall Into You’ explores the deeper, tougher, more brooding sound corridors begun on their ‘Start To Feel’-based crowd-raiser ‘Yai’ (Here We Go Again).

      Filled with floor purpose from first beat to last, its drums stomp and its percussion snaps, while ‘Fall’s distorted sub-riff bleaches every square inch of the track’s fabric. Through her breath-stealing vocal and lyrics, JES (following Yai (Here We Go Again) and ‘Flying Blind’, her the third collaboration with Cosmic Gate) out its darker elements, infusing it with emotion and heart. |

      As the drop starts to resolve, Cosmic Gate first creep, then sweep the mainline in - finally raising it totem-tall over its surrounding elements. Giving fans another prime insight into what lies ahead for ‘Materia’s chapters, the track is available now here: cosmicgate.choons.at/fallintoyou

      More info on ‘Materia’s first single, artistic collaborations and tracklist will follow shortly through media outlets and the Cosmic Gate and Black Hole Recordings online resources below.

      Cosmic Gate - Materia Chapter.One (The Extended Mixes)



      ‘Materia’ (Mātěrĭa - Latin. Fem. Noun. Decl.): base, matter, essence, the substance that all things are made of).

      Three months ago, Cosmic Gate introduced the world to ‘Materia Chapter.One’ – the seventh entry in their illustrious album canon. “Made for the club” was how MIXMAG portrayed its music (in their March Album of the Month review), and that’s something that resonates ever greater this April. Today, Nic & Bossi are excited to unveil The Extended Mixes version of their “impressive, roots return” (DJ Mag), “10/10” scoring “masterpiece” (FAZE Mag) album.

      Each of ‘Materia’s tracks have been taken back into the studio and expanded, enhanced and further developed to their ultimate full-length conclusions. More of ‘Fall Into You’, ‘Edge Of Life’ & ‘Fireflies’ vocal eminence! More of ‘Dynamic’, ‘Halo’ & ‘am2pm’s striking primetime floor ethics! More of ‘Spectrum’ and ‘Fight The Feeling’s immersive trance-progressive vision! It’s all here, bound into Chapter.One’s essential Extended Mixes edition.

      And that’s not all, either. Nic & Bossi have also hand selected three remixers and tasked them with starting to explore ‘Chapter.One’s remix dimensions.

      Hungary’s Sunny Lax has transitioned ‘Fall Into You’ into a major league club banger, ready to stand tall on more energetically minded floors! Conversely, if you’re feeling a more chilled approach to the JES-sung beguiler (hey, you’re only flesh & blood), look no further than Eskai’s stunning retouch. Shanin Kanafchian’s gloriously elegiac rework points ‘Fall’ down an altogether cooler road. Hexlogic channels similarly beatific vibes into his take of ‘Fireflies’. Through more laidback beats & tempo, subtler bass movements and warmer-yet chords, he brings a different kind of magic to Julie Thompson’s extraordinary vocals and song.

      Bigger, longer, higher, stronger, Cosmic work (you know it!) is never over! You can order/listen to the Extended Mixes of ‘Materia – Chapter.One’ now via this link: cosmicgate.choons.at/materia-extended

      Cosmic Gate Announce New Album ŒMateria Chapter.Two Released 01.09.17 // First Single Œ'Tonight' With Emma Hewitt Available Now



      As with all good stories, as one chapter closes, another opens. Such is the way in the already singles-rich chronicle of ‘Materia’ – Cosmic Gate’s episodic seventh album project. Following the considerable success of January’s “impressive” “roots return” (DJ Mag) “made for the clubs” (MIXMAG) maiden Chapter, today sees ‘Materia’ enter its second, entrancing phase.

      Through winter and spring, its producers, singers and songwriters have burnt the midnight studio oil bright to bring you nine incredible new ‘Materia’ creations. One glance at ‘Chapter.Two’s production team-ups is certain to put a smile on the lips of every serious trance lover. Ever pictured what a Cosmic Gate x Markus Schulz outing would sound like? Or imagined what would happen if CG met Super8 & Tab in the studio? Well here’s where your thoughts become things! After the ‘WYM’-born club smash ‘Sometimes They Come For More’, you’re also in line for ‘No Strings Attached’ – their return match with Arnej. Song-based collaborations naturally abound too, with new music backed by many a respected voice. Through ‘If Not Now’ and ‘Materia’s title track, JES makes two appearances. After their Chapter.One turns, Eric Lumiere and Alastor both return and following 2014’s ‘Sparks After The Sunset’, Sarah Lynn is back too, with ‘Folded Wings’.

      Singles-wise, the album signs in this very day with the ether-soaked haunt of ‘Tonight’ (available here: wym.choons.at/tonight). After ‘Wake Your Mind’s ‘Be Your Sound’ and ‘Start To Feel’s ‘Going Home’, those wondering whether ‘Materia’s odyssey would come to feature Emma Hewitt’s touch need wonder no more! Given its debut by Armin on ASOT821, the mood-infused beguiler comes packed with emotional reach throughout its verses, brilliantly balanced by elevation in its chorus. For those pre-ordering ‘Chapter.Two’ (which you’re able to do this very moment here: wym.choons.at/materia, ‘Tonight’ will pop as part of the three pre-release instant-grat tracks, carrying you through to its September 1st release.

      For fans wanting to get physical with ‘Materia’, there’s equally fine news. 01.09.17 also sees the release of the double CD edition of the album, which contains all the tracks from both album chapters. You can find it available to pre-order now at the end of this link: finenight.com/materia-chapter-one-two.html.

It includes the double CD, a 12” vinyl of ‘am2pm’ and ‘No Strings Attached’, a Cosmic Gate flag and ‘Materia’ poster, along with a set of white and black wristbands.
