Nic Chagall on "So Get Up" [Magnetic Magazine]

"What we would like to get across through 'Start To Feel' is that electronic music doesn't need to always start and stop at the drop. It doesn't have to be all about that 60 seconds. We love that type of music. If we didn't we wouldn't have made tracks like 'So Get Up' and a dozen others. But those are start points to Cosmic Gate's music. Not end ones." -

"Those who know their house history will instantly recognize the vocals from the underground house/progressive that made waves over the Portuguese clubbing scene in 1994. Cosmic Gate leave them much intact, using them to dramatic effect."

___________________________________________

Inspired perhaps by the launch of their new label, Cosmic Gate take a big bold step down the electric-house strasse here. Re-tasking the acapella-apocalypto written by and vocalized by Ithaka (Ithaka Darin Pappas) in 1993 [for Underground Sound Of Lisbon], they crank up the extreme frequencies and EQs while using trance aspects as incidentals, rather than the core. Sure to divisive in terms of Trance Family opinion, but any which way you cut it, you can't deny its effectiveness on the dance floor.
