Cercle Records drops third part of vinyl compilation ‘COSMOS’

Things always come in three. That’s what they should have taught at Cercle Records. The label today is releasing COSMOS, the third installment in their annual vinyl compilation series.

This third part includes music from Indira Paganotto, Ann Clue, Bantwanas, Romain Garcia, Brina Knauss, Vitalic and Notre Dame. COSMOS 0.0.92 (this is the name of the third part on Spotify) is in conjunction with their highly acclaimed and sold-out festival that took place in May.

And, that’s not all! In celebration of the compilation, each single (excluding those from the live-streamed performances) will be paired by a compelling video series titled MATTER. All videos are inspired by the theme of the 2024 festival, air and space. The videos will be released on the Cercle Records YouTube channel.

Josef Gatti and Cercle’s Head of Video, Mathieu Glissant are the directors of the new series MATTER.

But what are the tunes and the artists in this third COSMOS release?

Kickstarting the third part of the series is Romain Garcia. Born in Paris with Spanish roots, he has always infused his music with diverse cultural influences. He is not new to Cercle. In 2020, Cercle Records released Cappadocia, a featuring between Romain Garcia and Ben Böhmer which garnered over 22 million streams. Romain Garcia kicks off the compilation with Kako, injecting a captivating blend of melodic house with driving percussion and a mesmerizing vocal, ideal for closing a set.

Up next is the African collective Bantwanas with Mama. The song is a deeply emotive, organic afro house cut, positioning them at the forefront of artists who are redefining African house music. The collective’s sound is a danceable and soulful blend that captures South African musical heritage while innovating in the electronic music genre.

Notre Dame is a Parisian electronic music artist, musician, and producer. He has been influenced by French electronic legends like Daft Punk and Justice. His featured single Kids Never Stop Dancing, is an indie-dance piece with an upbeat, groovy melody and positive energy, representing his message of warmth and freedom.

Brina Knauss, a Slovenian DJ, is celebrated for her perfectionist approach and exceptional DJ skills. Her track Drowning is an indie melodic house piece characterized by a fast melody, heavy kick, and varying rhythms, blending indie and house notes with touches of techno, evoking a summery, solar atmosphere.

Vitalic is a pioneering French electronic music producer and composer, renowned for his influential debut LP OK Cowboy, which achieved gold status. In 2021, he announced a tour for his fifth album “DISSIDÆNCE” while celebrating his 20-year career.

His track You Are Not Alone, featuring Vimala, showcases a techno-influenced sound with melodic, dark disco, electro, and techno elements, culminating in a signature massive drop and an organic, instrumental melody.

Ann Clue, a passionate German DJ and producer is next. Her single Ethereal exemplifies her powerful and energetic style, featuring cosmic themes, heavy kicks, and futuristic vocals, taking listeners on a dynamic sonic journey.

If Only I Knew is a high-energy track that conveys nothing but positivity, and is a masterclass in Denis Sulta‘s signature style, combining infectious melodies, pulsating rhythms, and an uplifting energy that transcends the dance floor. Alongside his musical output, Denis has played at Berlin’s Panorama Bar, Ibiza’s Pikes as well as showcasing his ‘Sulta Selects‘ takeovers at Tomorrowland, ADE and Printworks.

Concluding the COSMOS compilation is Indira Paganotto. Indira’s energetic eclecticism and constant smile have become her trademarks. Blackbird SR-71 is a powerful cut featuring oriental throat singing and a trance rhythm in true Indira style.

Cercle also presented its first 360° festival project, Cercle Odyssey.
