TRANCE REVIEW: Cosmic Gate - AM2PM (Anunnakis Remix) out on Wake Your Mind


Having given ‘The Truth’ their ‘2.0’ treatment in October, this month Nic & Bossi have shifted remix-focus to a more recent CG anthem. Since its 2016 debut ‘am2pm’s come a long way in the hearts of fans - after ‘Fire Wire’ and ‘Exploration Of Space’, it’s CG’s most loved-‘n’-streamed release on Spotify!

However, since this instrumental titan first graced floors, the GRAMMY-nominated act have moved to their deeper, more ‘MOSAIIK’-shaped sound. So, while ‘am2pm’s star has been skyrocketing, it’s been trickier to set-program … and that could mean just one thing!

While the Cosmic Gate x Anunnakis connection goes back a decade or more, this might be the first time you’ve come across the Argentinian twosome. If so, safe to say it won’t be the last! Studio-wise, the pair have been on an intense production run over the last 12 months, inking-to and releasing on labels like Avanti, Black Hole Recordings, FSOE, UV, Perfecto and VANDIT. Now they’re stepped up for their first major remix … and given their history with Cosmic Gate, it could hardly be a more fitting one.

Those paying closer attention might already have picked out Anunnakis’s ‘am2pm’ rework as the ID pearl in the shell of Cosmic Gate stunning, mid-October Bali sunset livestream. Anunnakis have curtailed ‘am2pm’s primetime thrust, approaching it with a more progressively brooding mindset. Lowered tempos and housier percussion loops meet rich bass, an ethereally-bleeping sub melody and galactic FX, all of which speak to their cooler intentions.

 

There’s no better time to return to Bali for CG’s livestream (via Youtube, Facebook and Twitch) and you can purchase or playlist Anunnakis’ brilliant refinement of ‘am2pm’ from November 3 right here: blackhole.lnk.to/am2pmrmx.

[item value="10"] Cosmic Gate - AM2PM (Anunnakis Remix) [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Cosmic Gate finally release the highly anticipated remix of their anthem AM2PM by the beloved duo Anunnakis. Deep dark driving brooding trance meets melodic techno with strong progressive house influences. Deep pounding baselines, thumping drums, punchy moody kicks and dark and sinister synths layers along with the whole cinematic and truly tripping out atmosphere building tension and keeping the listeners glued asking for more while they dance hypnotized on the dance floor! It's sure winner and big player for the next months. #PureGold Love iT[/content]
