A first release holds a special place in an artist’s heart, but it’s also one (paradox-alert!) that they return to on rarer occasions. Case in point Cosmic Gate and their 1999 debut, ‘The Drums’ – a track thunderbolt they’ve not touched hands to since its first release.

Notably, it’s also rarely been given remix blessing either, with close to a decade and a half elapsing since Markus Schulz primed one for CG’s ‘Back 2 The Future’ album. So, when Maxim Lany reached out to Nic and Bossi to propose a rework of ‘The Drums’, it turned into a healthy back-and-forth on what direction it’d go in. Maxim’s remix game is of course way tight, with his work already gracing the discogs of Anjunadeep. Zerothree, REALM and others. With discussion concluded, green lights given, and stems received, the Ghent born-and-based DJ/producer began conjuring up some of his studio magic!

What Maxim’s arrived with though probably qualifies less as a remix in the classic sense and more as a ‘translation’ of ‘The Drums’. It retains all the spirit, essence and floor oomph of CG’s original, but pares back its harder, angular edges, recoding them as leaner, sleeker, more progressive sonics. Maxim and Cosmic Gate ‘double debuted’ ‘The Drums’ as part of their Tomorrowland 2024 sets, with its ‘Booming’ reaction giving the invested parties all the ‘mission-accomplished’ news they needed!

“Come With Me To The Cosmic Gate” introduced us both to ‘The Drums’ and CG themselves, and now Maxim Lany’s rewinding us back to where it all began! ‘The Drums’ beat deep today – find them wherever good music is streamed or sold [http://wakeyourmind.lnk.to/drums]!
