MOSAIIK

The road between 20 Years and MOSAIIK is one comprised of purpose, circumstance and pure chance. When Cosmic Gate added "Forward Ever Backward Never" to the title of their 20 Years album, it was (says CG's Bossi) "as much an undertaking to our selves, as it was to the audience. We were essentially (he chuckles) 'reaffirming the vows' under which we formed Cosmic Gate".

"We see MOSAIIK (The 'II'-styled title a nod to their eleventh long-player), as a lot more than a new chapter in our musical lives. It feels like the start of a second era. No one told us we needed to do this - it all came from within. With hindsight though we recognised that there were some signs that our fans were as ready as we were"- Cosmic Gate. One of those "signs" was their remix of Gabriel & Dresden's 'Only Road'. That garnered a Best Remix GRAMMY nom in 2020, which further opened the group's eyes to the level of acceptance in newer production directions. When the clubbing world was separated from their dancefloors in March 2020, circumstances provided even more artistic latitude. Thus MOSAIIK's music making became less symmetric and floor-focused, and all the richer for it. Those who listen - even casually - to CG's Wake Your Mind Radio show quickly become aware of the broad range of musical tastes that inspire the pair.
