Summary

Cosmic Gate & Jason Ross collaborate for the stunning anthem Awaken. You can sense when you listen carefully that the sound of these two artists is merged into one for the benefit of both. The thumping electrified bassline along with that punchy drum and the strong synthy line drives the track to the luscious breakdown with opera like vocals along with cinematic strings and very strong synthy hook that bubbles at the bottom of the track. It sounds melancholic, tripping out and totally magical. The intense build up is rough, punchy and furious and leads to the full on euphoric climax packed with big euphoric synths and moody sad melodies along with piano chords that crawl under your skin without delays. #PureGold Love iT
