their own biography
the whole biography
Over 10 boundary-pushing years, Nic Chagall and Bossi have evolved Cosmic Gate into one of the most creative and highly-sought-after electronic music acts in the world. Revered uber-producers, their musical acumen has seen them become long-term favourites of the trance’s Big 5 DJs with their 3 hugely-received albums transporting anthems like ‘Body of Conflict’, ‘I Feel Wonderful’, ‘Analog Feel’, or the classics ‘Exploration of Space’ and Fire Wire to the dancefloor. As DJs, their kinetic, blood-pumping live performances are seen by hundreds of thousands of club and festival goers annually. Playing a 100 nights every year, it’s this ever-visible club presence that saw them reach their highest position to-date on the DJ Mag Top 100, landing at No.62 in 2008. Following a chance meeting at a label office in Cologne in late 1998, the pair collaborated for the first time. It’s a production partnership that has become one of the dance world’s most successful and memorable. In their homeland of Germany, they’ve maintained a consistent level of chart success, with no fewer than 7 Top 40 singles to their name and a Top 10 hit in the UK in 2001, with the quintessential club hit, Fire Wire. Drawing on a broad-range of their individual musical tastes and influences, they’ve continued to advance and enhance the sound… Following up the long-players ‘Rythm & Drums’ and ‘No More Sleep’, in 2006 they released ‘Earth Mover’, which saw a seismic shift towards a more melodic and electronically orientated music. Including the club hits ‘Analog Feel', ‘Should Have Known’ and ‘I Feel Wonderful’, the long-player was IDMA nominated for Best Album of 2007 and was latterly seen as a new ‘year one’ for Cosmic Gate. In 2009 Nic and Bossi are set to release their fourth studio album ‘Sign of the Times’, which contains 11 floor-monsters-in-waiting, last year’s vocal anthem ‘Body of Conflict’ and the latest smash single ‘Not Enough Time’, which in the words of Tiësto is “a great and solid vocal trancer that touches all your musical senses!” And in the broader scale on ‘Sign of the Times’ Armin van Buuren says “The new Cosmic Gate album is one of the most anticipated releases of this year. They are on the forefront of the dance music sound of the moment… Bring on 2009!” Deck-side Nic and Bossi have whipped floors into frenzies all the way around the world. In 2008 they played Tiësto’s now-famous Monday nighter at Privilege in Ibiza, rocked roofs at the Judgement Sunday nights and decisively broke into the US and Australian clubbing scenes through a string of sell-out tours. They appeared in the DJ Magazine’s list of Top 100 spinners for 6 years now and are regular festival attraction, spinning at events like Trance Energy and Mysteryland in The Netherlands, Summadayze in Australia, Germany’s Nature One and Stateside at Nocturnal. In early 2009 they are set to roadblock the Freedom Festival with Tiësto in Malaysia and Sunrise in Poland. Back2Back, Cosmic Gate’s on-going compilation series was devised as the at-home testament to the pair’s club-rocking exploits. 2007 saw the release of the 3rd volume through Tiësto’s Black Hole label. The compilations bring the evocative mix of trance, progressive and electro and stands apart through their use of numerous at-the-time unreleased productions and unique Cosmic Gate edits. Over their production lifetime, the Cosmic Gate remixes have become almost as fêted as their productions. Essentially a blow by blow of trance music’s A-list, Nic and Bossi lent their studio know-how to productions by the likes of Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Above & Beyond’s OceanLab project, Rank 1 and Blank & Jones. Most recently they rewired Deadmau5’s ‘Clockwork’ to devastating effect and created two highly-praised remixes of ‘Vincent De Moor - Fly Away’ and ‘Veracocha - Carte Blanche’Their RA profile lists Black Hole Recordings.Recently at Avant Gardner, Elsewhere · often with Derya Zor, 4YÛ, Sinca, none of them here that night

After several notable releases on Up the Stuss, Homegrxwn, Locus, Bass Jamz or House Records, this trained drummer is building a solid reputation around his live performances. The result is a clever mix of warm groove and percussive progressive house pushed by power house rhythms. Vitess draws his influences from multiple universes and produces his music under different aliases such as Grand V, Vytamin or Flamant Rouge to name a few. In 2022, he launched his label Retro Futura with a first album Cyber Zone under his original alias, followed by a second one V World under his alias Vitamin and Celebrity EP, awaited by his public. After turning over most of the leading spots with his performances in France and Europe, he keeps on evolving nourished by his new productions and was noticed by his tours, which attracted a great deal of interest in America, Australia and Asia. Pushing his approach to live performance ever further, the artist launched a new concept which brings together all his aliases in an XXL format that allows him to explore his different artistic identities without limit over several hours. After several successful All Live Long, Vitess hit the road in 2025 for a tour in this large format across France and Europe.Their RA profile lists Pont Neuf Records, Automatic Writing, STRCTR records, Dansu Discs and 6 more.often with Chloe Battelle, Taimur, Kurilo, none of them here that night

Armii1n, born in Tehran and now based in New York City, quickly made his mark on Asia’s underground scene in his early 20s.

As a Sweatbox label resident, he released his debut EP, featuring a standout remix by The Mekanism. After moving to Miami for his Master’s, he secured a residency at Do Not Sit on the Furniture and worked with T Bag Records, also representing artists as an agent before shifting his full focus to DJing and event curation.

Szobi was introduced to dance music at a time when French house, electro house and garage were filling the clubs in his hometown Budapest, Hungary in the late 2000’s. It quickly became clear that dancefloors are his happy place — it's his goal is to create this for others when he’s on the decks. After moving to NYC, he jumped into the local dance scene, with emphasis on anything with some thick synths. He started the event Dancing in Socks in his studio apartment to bring friends together and create a space to perform. Since then, he's had the opportunity to perform at many iconic NYC locations, including Jupiter Disco, Elsewhere and Cafe Kitsune.Recently at Earthly Delights, Elsewhere, Jupiter Disco · often with jOrrell, Sam Collins, Basstripper, none of them here that night

A devotee of the late-night-into-early-morning-into-late-afternoon party, Kristen gravitates toward genre-expansive DJs who take their dancers on long, world-bending journeys through all shades of music (not just electronic). Outside of DJing, Kristen is deeply immersed in NYC’s live music scene, a passion that heavily informs her sets. While her selections are steeped in traditional and modern jazz influences, she loves to weave in elements of commercial/hyperpop, future garage, funk, and classic house—building her sets more around “vibes” than around certain genres. If she’s not behind the decks, she will 100% be dancing. This was, in part, the inspiration behind co-founding Dancing in Socks with Szobi—a bi-monthly party series and online community built around getting back building communities through dancefloors.Recently at Earthly Delights, Elsewhere · often with DJ girlcrush, DJ Sauci Soni, Ah Dek, none of them here that night
