Boggy & R107 - Deci Tu Esti Sven Vath [PNH040] (snippet)

Label: Cosmo Records
Artist: Traumer
Title: 3 years ago
Cat. No.: COSMO015
Format: Vinyl & Digital
Release Date: TBA

At the heart of Cosmo Records is a desire to explore cross-cultural collaboration as a thoughtful, considered dialogue. Building on previous projects between European minimal house producers and Moroccan musicians, the Casablanca-based label now presents 3 Years Ago, an album project from the supremely talented French producer Romain Reynaud, aka Traumer.

As well as steering his own label GETTRAUM, Reynaud has appeared on Tatum, Subtil Records, Infuse, Lazare Hoche and All Inn, not to mention adopting many other aliases such as Romain Poncet and taking part in collaborative projects such as Adventice and Sergie Rezza (both with DJ Deep). The latter project is a good indication of where Reynaud’s head is at on this new album as he stretches out over nine tracks, moving well beyond the confines of club music to present something expressive and organic, while still retaining his house and techno instincts at appropriate junctures.

The album was first conceived in March 2018, when Reynaud travelled to Casablanca to record with local musicians in the Cosmo studio. Among the artists he worked with were Saad el Bouaamri playing the oud and violin, and Ayoub Senhaji on percussion. He also accessed the considerable archives of past Cosmo sessions to sample additional material, and then set to work crafting a body of music with an expansive outlook.

While tracks like ‘Salameche’ certainly align with Reynaud’s predominant identity in the field of slender dancefloor material, there are a lot of other avenues the album explores. ‘Alqutu’ is a meandering, electrically charged excursion with snappy, jazzy rhythms and a live, in-the-room quality which lends itself perfectly to the deft musicianship from Bouaamri et al. At its most fluid, the project melts between disciplines. ‘You Need To Sleep’ flows somewhere between a shuffled, micro-edited house groove and scatty jazz, thanks in part to some ascendant Rhodes playing. Long form pieces like ‘Tahul’ unfurl and evolve in constant motion, Reynaud’s needlepoint programming forming a framework for a rotating cast of players and their distinctive sounds. 

Crossover projects such as these are about strong sonic motifs, and the combination of assertiveness and sensitivity needed to make them fit together. In the swirl of delicate, contemporary production and deep-rooted virtuosity, Reynaud’s great achievement is in making everything sit together so very naturally. It’s the perfect addition to the compelling legacy laid out by previous Cosmo projects, aiming to bring something stimulating and original to the contemporary electronic scene, which taps into the ancient, evergreen qualities of music as a common language.

Orbit - Vox Planet Mixing / PEACE IN UKRAINE VA - vol I

As music is a universal language that connects cultures beyond borders and we are an independent platform focused on underground electronic music and arts, at this time we stand for peace, so we curated a Various Artists compilation to raise money to help Ukrainian artists during these hard times.

A lot of producers from many countries responded to our initiative, swiftly building on an archive that incorporates various shades and styles of electronic music, from laid-back and serene soundscapes to driving rhythms and textures. The first volume features 15 tracks signed by Ilya Yansima, Maayan Nidam feat. Life on planets, Matheiu & Max Jacobson, Nils Weimann, Odette, Orbit, Paul K, Peshka, Pîrvu, Ramona Yacef & Bill It, Shato, Unisson, Valeria Croft and Yaroslav Lenzyak.

All revenues collected from the sales will be directed to the bank accounts of the Ukrainian artists with whom we managed to get in touch, such as Animated Sounds, Peshka, Komponente, Yansima, Ilya Cheise, Vlad Barocco, Orbit as well as the initiative launched by Antipina Anna and Silat Beksi.

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.
