When German DJs Claus Terhoeven and Stefan Bossems (AKA Nic Chagall and Bossi) worked on their first track together, they had no idea they were forming what would become a 20-year partnership. Nic and Bossi, known as the trance duo Cosmic Gate, were brought together by chance at a studio in Cologne, Germany, when they were part of a larger group working on a musical project. They ran in the same circles in the music scene but didn’t know each other well.
“We were with other guys in the studio to remix a track which I don’t even remember,” Bossi says, “and something was wrong with the vocals, so we could not work on it, so the other guys left.” Nic and Bossi almost left too, but they decided to grab a bite to eat first and wound up working on a track of their own. “There were no indications that were telling us, ‘Hey, we want to work together and start something,’ especially not something that would change our lives that drastically,” Bossi says. But that’s exactly what happened.
