With Perspectives, Cosmic Gate embarked on one of the most ambitious and carefully curated projects of their career. Rather than delivering a single long-form album, the Grammy-nominated duo chose a three-EP format, allowing each chapter to explore a distinct emotional and stylistic angle — while gradually revealing a bigger picture.
Released over several months, the Perspectives trilogy reflects Cosmic Gate’s modern identity: rooted in trance emotion yet fully embracing melodic house, melodic techno, and contemporary vocal songwriting. Across all three EPs, Nic Chagall and Bossi prove that evolution doesn’t require abandoning your core — it requires refining it.
EP 1 – Igniting the journey
The opening chapter introduced the concept with confidence. EP 1 focused on atmosphere, groove, and forward momentum, leaning into progressive structures and melodic restraint. Rather than instant peak-time moments, Cosmic Gate opted for slow-burning tension, allowing melodies and emotions to unfold naturally. It was immediately clear that Perspectives wasn’t about chasing trends — it was about shaping a long-term narrative.
EP 2 – Deep emotions and cinematic soundscapes
EP 2 widened the emotional and stylistic range. Here, Cosmic Gate explored deeper contrasts: darker club energy alongside warm, uplifting moments, showcasing their ability to move fluidly between introspection and euphoria. Vocals played a stronger role, adding intimacy and human connection to the project, while still maintaining dancefloor focus. At this point, Perspectives felt less like a collection of tracks and more like a journey in motion.
EP 3 – The Final Chapter
The trilogy concludes with Perspectives EP 3, a tightly curated three-track release that brings everything together into a cohesive final statement.
Opening the EP, Need A Little Love with CMD/CTRL sets the emotional and sonic tone. Built around an intoxicating melodic thread, the track moves effortlessly through progressive territory, balancing restraint and release with club-ready precision. The gradual build and explosive payoff underline Cosmic Gate’s mastery of tension — a modern trance anthem that has already received support from Tiësto on his PRISMATIC Radio show.
How This Ends follows, uniting Cosmic Gate with Canadian producer AVIRA and acclaimed vocalist Sarah de Warren. The result is a striking genre hybrid, blending melodic techno drive, melodic house warmth, and trance emotion into a cinematic soundscape. Sarah de Warren’s ethereal yet intimate vocal performance adds depth and vulnerability, pulling listeners deeper into the track’s emotional core.
Closing the trilogy, Let It All Out delivers the emotional peak. Featuring the soaring vocals of Ava Silver, the track leans into modern trance aesthetics with lush atmospheres, rising momentum, and a powerful hands-in-the-air release. It’s a euphoric finale designed to lift both festival crowds and intimate club floors alike — and a fitting conclusion to the Perspectives journey.
A milestone for the modern trance era
With Perspectives, Cosmic Gate reaffirm their position as pioneers shaping the future of trance. The two EPs capture the sound of a duo still pushing creative boundaries after 25 years on top — blending progressive sophistication, emotional songwriting, and festival-ready energy into a unified whole. From EDC Las Vegas to Tomorrowland and Transmission, their performances continue to ignite audiences worldwide — and these new tracks are destined to become staples in their sets.
