Gabriel & Dresden feat. Sub Teal – “Only Road (Cosmic Gate Remix)” was released on Anjunabeats on February 23, 2018. Reworking the opening track from Gabriel & Dresden’s 2017 album The Only Road, Cosmic Gate transform its restrained, melancholic atmosphere into driving, melodic Vocal Trance. Built around Sub Teal’s expressive vocals, a deep bassline and a powerful emotional breakdown, the remix later earned a nomination for Best Remixed Recording at the 2019 Grammy Awards.
How does Cosmic Gate’s remix of “Only Road” differ from the original?
Where Gabriel & Dresden’s original favours a spacious, understated arrangement and melancholic songwriting, Cosmic Gate introduce a more prominent bassline, driving percussion and a stronger melodic progression. Sub Teal’s vocals remain the emotional anchor, while the extended breakdown builds tension before the track returns with renewed rhythmic force. The result preserves the original song’s atmosphere while giving it a distinctly more energetic dancefloor identity.
The remix also closes Gabriel & Dresden’s contribution to In Search of Sunrise 14 and was later included in Anjunabeats’ 25th-anniversary retrospective Anjuna25. Its 2019 Grammy nomination offers a documented measure of the remix’s recognition beyond its original release.
