First out the ‘Cosmic Gate’s gate is ‘MOSAIIK Chapter Two’s teaser trailer, which is online now. Through it, Cosmic Gate revealed that ‘MOSAIIK’ will spread its format wings to include, not just digital and streaming versions, but also a double CD and a limited-edition double vinyl (naturally including both Chapters). You can pre-save/order here now. Next, you’ll need to put a big save-the-date mark in the calendar for Feb 15, as Nic & Bossi are set to perform another of their acclaimed Livestreams. This time their two-hour set will be coming from Ibiza, where – backdropped by the magnetising sight (and just plain magnetic!)
