Founded in 2009, Cosmo Records is a Moroccan electronic music label desiring to create touch points between Western, Latin,  West-African and Oriental music.

Owing to its unique creative process, the label is seeking to spearhead a revolutionary form of blending various musical spectrums. In so doing, world famous electronic artists and traditional musicians meet in Morocco's finest music studios to produce original sounds at the confluence of music styles ranging from minimal, tech house and house to the psychedelic practice of Bamako's Kora.

Artists are brought from a wide diversity of backgrounds, which makes any track of the label’s music a fascinating journey where experimental sounds coming out of the most technical devices keep echoing traditional ambiences.

More than anything, Cosmo records acts as a bridging artist community fostering the dialogue between sophisticated western music and ancestral afro-oriental sounds. That undoubtedly gives the label’s universe its unique touch. The Cosmo touch.

Operating out of Casablanca, Morocco, Cosmo records has made its purpose clear; to fuse experimental house and techno with traditional African musicianship in a cultural dialogue that spans generations and continents in search of thrilling new musical forms. 

Over the past years, Cosmo has called upon some of the finest producers in the most adventurous corners of 4/4 dance music to collaborate with players of the kora, guembri, lute and many more forms of percussion and melodic instrumentation. The chosen artists congregate at the Cosmo recording studios in Casablanca, which acts as a hub for these disparate musical energies to come together in a fusion of seasoned, learned performances and hyper-modern electronic processes. 

Amongst the most notorious artists that have contributed to the label so far are Masomenos, RADIQ, Argenis Brito and Pier Bucci, while Moroccan producer Adil Hiani provides a local focus to the electronic side of the creative process, as well as conducting the A&R for the label.

Born into a family of musicians and artists Fabian Schank learned to play several instruments from brass to drums. He discovered his love for laying down tracks in 2008. At that time he was into many styles of Drum´n´Bass, Jungle and Dubstep. This, however wasn´t sufficiently diverse for this passionate musician. So he reached for the cornucopia  of compositions far below the previous tempo. Since then his two-room apartment has been packed with Vinyls of Deep- and Techhouse, Techno and Minimal. The sharp  percussion in his sets, with their hypnotizing bass lines, paired with experimental harmonies and sounds edgily stalks the listener in order to push the mood to it´s climax.
We can´t wait to hear his first self-production in 2014.

Hineingeboren in eine Musiker- und Künstlerfamile erlernte er verschiedenste Instrumente von Holz-und Blechblasinstrumenten bis hin zu Percussion und Schlagwerk. Seine Liebe zum Auflegen entdeckte Fabian Schank 2008. Damals interessierten ihn
allerdings noch viele Stilrichtungen aus Drum & Bass, Jungle und Dubstep .
Dem Vollblutmusiker und Vinylliebhaber aber reichte das nicht. Und so griff er in die gar endlose Auswahl
von Kompositionen weit unterhalb der bisherigen Geschwindigkeit.
Deep- und Techhouse, Techno und Minimal Vinyls füllten von da an jeden Stauraum seiner Zwei-Zimmer Wohnung.
Die knackige Percussion in seinen Sets, so hypnotisierend die Bassläufe auch sein mögen, gepaart mit vielen experimentellen Harmonien und Geräuschen, pirscht sich gefährlich an um dann "Tschakk Bumm" die Stimmung auf Händen zum Höhenpunkt zu jonglieren.
Man darf gespannt sein, die ersten Eigenproduktionen werden 2014 erwartet.
