Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Shimmering lead lines, driving four-four, and long breakdowns are the core vocabulary. They lean into vocal trance and hard-trance pressure, with the kind of set that keeps the hands-up moments coming.

More about Cosmic Gate

Discogs identifies Cosmic Gate as Claus Terhoeven and Stefan Bossems, formed in Cologne after a studio meeting in 1998. Their catalog runs through Black Hole Recordings, and they sit in the German trance lineage that fed the global festival circuit.

A story
