Kos:mo – Speak Up [1605]

Kos:mo’s Speak Up EP is the next vital release on Umek’s 1605 label. Rising from Cologne DJ and producer Kos:mo has shot to prominence with his mix of melodic depth, rave energy and rolling grooves. As one of Germanys most promising talents he has been making waves internationally with releases on 1605, Respekt Recordings and Tronic. Most recently he performed an Originals-only set at Rave The Planet including all tracks of his new EP.

This one opens up with Speak Up, a visceral techno cut with spangled synth phrases twisting and turning over bobbling drums and bass while blending his unique Techno-style with Hip-Hop vocals. It’s a potent mix with Be Strong then layering up more driving drums and robust synth textures. Distant vocals and mesmerizing energy help take it to the next level. Last of all is Marili, a deep techno groove with real punch and molten chords that are paired with steamy vocal sounds for maximum impact.
