There was a major Easter egg tucked away in Cosmic Gate’s Puerto Vallarta, Mexico livestream last month, and one that didn’t escape the attention of many a CG fan. Not only did Nic & Bossi take the opportunity to premiere ‘MOSAIIK Chapter Two’s opening single (the Olivia Sebastianelli-sung ‘We Got The Fire’)… they also tucked the second one in there too!

Cloaked behind the only ID on its tracklist (and the set’s close-out number no less) was ‘Retrospection’, Cosmic Gate’s first studio link-up with the Greenhaven DJs.

Now you may remember the Greenhavens’ from their highly inventive (not to mention killer!) ‘The Unexamined’/’The Hall Of Records’ release on Wake Your Mind a few years back. Well these two have put their heads together with Nic & Bossi and come up with one dark-hearted beast of a techno-freighted trancer. 

Drum-punch, cybery FX, saw-toothed-synths, chasm-deep drops, a deeply warped bass and a leadline every bit as lethal as it is minimal, all pressure-cook its production. Another fragment of ‘MOSAIIK’s second musical mosaic drops into place today, as ‘Retrospection’ goes on release.
