German duo Cosmic Gate have remained one of the biggest names in trance for almost 20 years now. As artists, they’ve continued to push the envelope whether it be on the road at every show and festival they play at or in the studio. Never ones to settle down, the duo has unveiled the first edition of their Wake Your Mind Sessions and to celebrate the release of the new mix compilation, the boys are hitting the road with a string of US dates.

Wake Your Mind Sessions 001 is now available for download at Beatport.com.

When the long-time trance A-listers first released their seventh artist album Wake Your Mind back in 2011, the long player was a lauded success, most notably for bringing different styles like trance, progressive, and even house together to create an album that all dance music fans could enjoy. Continuing the album’s manifesto, Cosmic Gate just announced a new member of the Wake Your Mind family – a WYM Sessions mix album. Inspired by the full spectrum of the Wake Your Mind label and radio program, the WYM Sessions encapsulates what Cosmic Gate stands for musically. Much like the track selection for their live shows, the 33 tracks featured on the compilation take listeners through a progression of sounds, each highlighting established dance music artists, future heroes, and other lesser-known influences.

Continuing to expand upon the Wake Your Mind brand, check out the first WYM Sessions out now! Find Cosmic Gate on tour this spring for a blood-pumping live performance!

Armed with a catalog of productions that are sure to do some damage, Feed Me has unleashed a new four-track EP on his own Sotto Voce label titled A Giant Warrior Descends on Tokyo. Fans have waited patiently for a new release from Feed Me ever since he took them on a Psychedelic Journey late last summer and his new extended player is definitely worth the wait.

The EP pays homage to the classic Godzilla folklore, bringing utter chaos to your speakers in the form of four electro heaters sure to ignite this festival season. “After searching through all the corners of dance music and touring multiple versions of tracks and concepts I’m finding it easier to really define where I want to take Feed Me,” he says. “With this EP, I’m moving on to a second album with a clear vision for me and for Sotto Voce. Japanese culture has been a staple of my life so I wanted to bring this into focus with the artwork too – I love pushing for a global feel.”

His menacing green monster character may be easily recognizable, but Feed Me’s originals and remixes are easy to recognize too. His signature ruckus brand of dubstep, electro and drum-focused bangers has blown up both in the UK and Stateside, whether they be under his Feed Me moniker or under his hard-edged drum n’ bass alias, Spor. With bass stabs, serene builds, and tempos that’ll have you swinging from the rafters, fans of the little green monster should start bracing for impact – not only is the entire A Giant Warrior Descends on Tokyo available on SoundCloud for streaming, but the British talent is getting ready to feed his appetite for destruction with a string of tour dates this summer!
