Cosmic Gate is a German progressive-trance-producing duo from Krefeld, Germany. Active since 1999, Cosmic Gate consists of Claus Terhoeven and Stefan Bossems.
The pair met in Cologne, Germany and after hitting it off they decided to try their hand at making music together. Realising that their combined talents meant musical gold, the pair became Cosmic Gate and began producing fresh tracks and remixing existing music.
Cosmic Gate’s initial successes were in their native Germany where tracks "The Drums", "Mental Atmosphere" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" were all top 100 tracks. The duo quickly began winning increasing numbers of fans and the release of their fourth single, “Exploration of Space” went to number 12 in Germany and entered the UK singles chart at number 29.
Picking up significant buzz from these initial tracks, Cosmic Gate then went on to release “Fire Wire” in 2001. The track stormed the UK singles chart and peaked at number nine.
Cosmic Gate has released six albums, “Rhythm & Drums”, “No More Sleep”, “Earth Mover”, “Sign of the Times”, “Wake Your Mind” and “Start to Feel” between 2001 and 2014, with their initial two albums being their most successful.
The duo is well known throughout Europe and they have placed in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJ’s feature multiple times. Fans love them for their remixes as much as their original content and Cosmic Gate is well known for its remixes of artists such as Tiësto, Deadmau5 and Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.
