The post-‘MOSAIIK’-album calm is over and there’s a new Cosmic storm on the horizon !! Into the autumn, the GRAMMY-nominated duo return with fresh music, a new run of shows and one unmissable, autumn-blues-banishing livestream!
Now if a revisit to ‘The Truth’s caught you unawares, we reckon you’re in good company, as Cosmic Gate have held plans for its ‘2.0’ plenty close to the chest. However, it’s what Nic & Bossi have done with it that’ll be more unexpected still. In a momentary departure from the deeper/cooler sound of late, they’ve 2.0’d ‘The Truth’ into a main stage techno anthem. Complete with barrelling bass, cavernous FX, thunderous 303 and a one lethal, heart-in-mouth drop, it’s not something you’re gonna miss floor-side!
Something of a revelation ‘The Truth’s return might be, but Nic and Bossi’s timing with the release couldn’t be more deliberate. As its broodingly technotic vocal intones, “the truth is often hard to find / the truth, it brings you to the light”, and in 2023’s truth-blurring AI world, its 2002-message could hardly be more relatable.
To give this monster-in-the-making the introduction it deserves, Cosmic Gate have ticked another next-level livestream off their wish-list! After streaming sets from Miami, Mexico, Ibiza and New York (where their 2020 set has already clocked up 14million Youtube views!), this time the boys are Bali-bound. There on Oct 11th, Nic and Bossi soundtracked another exceptionally picturesque Indonesian sundowner. Naturally, pride of place amongst its 2hrs of enrapturing deep house, melodic techno and raw, hypnotic and deep trance will be ‘The Truth 2.0’.
You can catch/re-visit CG’s Bali livestream now through Youtube, Facebook and Twitch, and purchase or playlist-add ‘The Truth 2.0’ from October 13 here. Into the autumn, Nic & Bossi have much more to come, so keep watching those Cosmic skies!

[item value="10"]Cosmic Gate - The Truth 2.0 [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Cosmic Gate are considered to be pioneering and innovative duo in the electronic dance music always getting big risks with their distinctive sound and always producing exceptional pieces of club music that simply pass the test of time and they are their own unique style. After their deeper progressive trance meets house sound that has been embraced and supported for long they return with their mainstage tech trance version of their classic The Truth 2.0. Deep pounding basslines, rough metallic kicks, dark cracking percussion and dark synthy undertones leading to the melodramatic and truly epic breakdown. The spoken vocal sample has a great message to keep in mind. The build up is intense and suddenly there is moment of silence. The drop is full on techno bassfocused with just acid sharp layers adding the roughness and moodiness that will work perfectly in tech trance and techno sets. It's the type of drop that body will jump along and heartbeats will be faster too. #PureBassPower Love iT [/content]
