Legendary trance producers Claus Terhoeven and Stefan Bossems, formally known as Cosmic Gate, have been an influential force in the trance community since their beginnings in 1999. Their radio show recently celebrated its 100th episode and is named after their legendary album, “Wake Your Mind”. Their godly collaboration with Emma Hewitt on “Be Your Sound” is my personal favorite and a trance classic. Cosmic Gate has released six studio albums to date and has had seven top 40 trance tracks. They’ve collaborated with and been remixed by an array of different trance artists that include Armin Van Buuren, John O’Callaghan, Deadmau5, and Above & Beyond. In addition to that, they’ve played well over 1,000 shows throughout their career and have no intentions of slowing down.
The duo recently released their latest single, “am2pm”. The six minute instrumental is classic Cosmic Gate and brings us back to their “Exploration of Space” days. Having dabbled in different aspects and genres of trance, this latest release feels like a taste of the old Cosmic Gate. The German natives are fresh off a sold out show in LA that featured guest appearances from ATB and Mark Sixma. Their 3 hour extended set also included an online poll that allowed listeners to choose their favorite Cosmic Gate song to be played live at the Hollywood Palladium.
Whether you’re new to trance music or just yearning to be serenaded in some classics, Cosmic Gate is the artist for you. With a bevy of masterpieces under their belt, this German duo has been and always will be an influence on the trance community. Below are some of their best works to date and my personal favorites by them. Enjoy!
