Cosmic Gate - Wake Your Mind Session 004
Cosmic Gate - Wake Your Mind Session 004
Itâs here! The fourth edition of Nic & Bossiâs celebrated music compilation. Containing thirty Cosmic Gate-embodying studio works - from the groupâs own hands and likeminds alike, the album spans the entire Cosmic cosmos. 150mins of music, including tracks from the likes of Armin, Above & Beyond, Chicane, Tinlicker, Genix, Andrew Bayer, Mauro Picotto and others, all mixed to perfection are just a couple of clicks away!
On wrapping the project, Nic from the group said: âBossi & I see âSessionsâ as the most important mix - or mix-set - we do in any given year. Musically, theyâre like our âpermanent recordâ, which has to characterize to the fullest degree what weâre about. So the pressure is always on to be balance-exact and I think we can say doubly so this year, as (due to the spring 2019 release of their âForward Ever, Backward Neverâ album) we didnât get the window last yearâ.
Unboxing âSessions 4â, youâll find it dedicates its first mix to deeper sonic arcs, embarking - in contemplative form - with Nihil Young & Less Hateâs soul-storming âLossâ. With a cooler pulse about it, the mix travels up through the progressive foothills with moody, bass-heavier gear like the Dosem-remixed âVanishingâ from Tinlicker & Run Rivers. Further up the path youâll find the acid churn and rising chime of âDeltaâ from gardenstate (aka Marcus Schössow & Matthew Felner). âDeltaâs perfect stylistic partner comes courtesy of Rafael Osmo and his latest âAllenbyâ, which ups the pump but a fraction, whilst keeping that 303 engaged. The mixâs third act continues that subtlest of vibe transitions through AVIRAâs take on Chicaneâs classic âSaltwaterâ and opens the harmonic valve further, concluding with Kolonieâs âParadigmâ.
Reflecting on the first disc, Bossi says: âamongst the many reasons we love doing âWake Your Mind Sessionsâ releases is that it literally gives us a chance to do our own warm-up. Further, for the first time âWYMS004â gave us the opportunity to include tracks from our newly opened Wake Your Mind Records Deep label, so there was a extra additional thrill in being able to showcase those soundsâ.
While disc 1 brings the first Wake Your Mind Records Deep fare, the second is a confluence of the mainline labelâs latest. Counted amongst youâll find newies from Greenhaven DJs and Patrick White (with âTo Those Who Forgotâ and âFlowing Dreamâ respectively), as well as Thomas Mengelâs latest heatseeker, âAxiomâ. Mix 2 kicks off with Nic & Bossiâs first 2020 production âYour Mindâ, whilst the just-released âUniversal Loveâ also flexes its floor muscles round the midpoint. The heavyweights continue as Above & Beyond and Richard Bedford bring the second disc one of its most emotionally arresting moments with their current single âBittersweet & Blueâ. In the mixâs closing quarter, CG deliver a Cosmic blast to the Armin van Buuren/Avian Grays/Jordan Shaw team-up âSomething Real. Finalâtrack honours meanwhile fall to their reimagining of Mauro Picottoâs immortal âLizardâ.
