Nature One 2014,
The Golden Twenty attracted more than 72,000 visitors, who together in
unity, friendship and a common passion for Electronic Dance Music,
celebrated twenty years of the biggest, most important and highly
influential Electronic Music festival in Germany.
Nature One takes place every year,
usually at the first weekend of August at the Rakentenbasis Pydna in
Kastellaun, Germany. It includes DJs and live performances which stand
out and remain in visitors memories as unforgettable festival moments.
The Golden Twenty anniversary was packed with high class DJ sets from
artists such as Axwell, Paul van Dyk, Moguai, Carl Cox, Sven Vath,
Markus Schulz, ATB, Danny Avila, Deniz Koyu, Ferry Corsten, Robin Schulz
live and many more.
One of the most memorable highlights on the Saturday night from
04.30-06.00, was the stunning performance by Hamburg's finest house
trio, DBN and Cosmo Klein. They were simply fun-tastic, with powerful
progressive house bangers and Cosmo Klein with his heavenly voice
singing live in some of the tracks. DBN are dynamic, powerful and work
hard behind the decks to make the crowd jump around and sweat a lot! The
combination of DBN with Cosmo Klein was a successful idea that managed
to capture the interest of the festival-goers, who flooded the main
stage and had some great party moments with them.
Before their explosive performance, I managed to meet them at the press
centre and conducted this interview. First of all, I asked them about
their performance on the open air stage, and if they had prepared
special edits and exclusives. Next we discussed the differences between
playing last year at the House of House stage, and this years Open Air
performance. They give us some background information about the
re-making of the classic trance track ROOS - Instant Moments, which was
released on 'Big & Dirty', and then on 'WePlay' in Germany. It
dominated the DDC charts at the number one position for many weeks. Next
subject in question was the reason behind their idea to set up their
own record labels; 'Run DBN' and the sister label 'Run Deep' which
specialises in deep house releases, mainly from unknown young artists even in
the early age 16-17 years. They explain how they share the stage when
they perform together, and if they had prepared some tracks which they
will include in their DJ set at Nature One. Next DBN clarify who had the
idea to perform together with Cosmo Klein.
The rest of the interview was dedicated to Cosmo Klein, who was kind
enough to reply to our questions. First of all, I asked him to explain
the background story behind his magnificent anthem 'Beautiful Lie' with
Keemo. This is actually a remake of Yoav's unforgettable hit with the
same name. He revealed that they prepared a brand new deeper version of
the track, and that this is the only cover he did as he usually writes
the lyrics of the tracks he sings. Next I ask about his record label
'Cosmopolytix' and the kind of tracks he releases on it. What's more, he
clarifies if and why his tracks have a political message. He reveals
his forthcoming releases, such as his track 'Back to Life' with the
upcoming Hamburg based duo Mynga, which is signed to Capitol and Sony
Music. Also we chat about the artistic freedom he has when he works with
major record labels, and he reveals the label on which he had the best
collaboration so far. Finally, we talk about his forthcoming album and
compilation, with all his big club hits so far, and I ask if he often
performs in clubs. It's definitely must-watch interview so, better not
miss it.
