Cosmic Cowboys are back on MGF. There would be no need to say anything else as the grooving armada from Venice already left it's trademark with releases like the "Dusk EP" or the "Piano Africano EP" but of course there's more to say. Nico and Kaled, for their third release on "Musik gewinnt Freunde", deliver a dancefloor monster that keep all of their quintessential romantic touch but reshaping it in a different way this time. Fully oriented to the dancefloor the A-Track "Notre Jour Viendra" comes along the an amazing remix of the berlin duo youANDme. Signing a perfect reinterpreation that leaves the listener speachless. As digital bonus we bring you "Deux Histoires" from Cosmic Cowboys and another Remix, because we really like the track, of "Notre Jour Viendra" by our talented young artist "Lake People".

The second part of the „Diorama“ remixes offers again some of the finest producers around. Starting with Kollektiv Turmstrasse! What kicks off as a Chez Damier groove makes the transition into a loose dub monster. Collecting traces of the original sound and dispersing them with magic movements we see why Kollektiv Turmstrasse are a top act. Shifting the attention from the front to the far back from the obvious to the abstract... Turmstrasse create that parallel groove on top of the groove which seems to tighten up with every minute. Fine particles of sounds are sprayed onto the relentless groove and make it a real crowd pleaser.

Daniel Fritschi has been an active member of the Düsseldorf Music Community since 1995 where he began his career as a DJ with a residency in a small club in the Düsseldorf Altstadt. Three years later he would co-found EGO-club, an illegal-underground club in the center of the city combining art and music. EGO opened in 1998 and in its time was highly influential on the music scenes of Düsseldorf and Köln. The project concluded in 2001 with a compilation double-CD and catalogue "Live sets at EGO 1998-2000" which received international attention for featuring some of the best electronic artists of the time.
After EGO Fritschi would continue to host various underground parties and events in off-locations throughout the city before starting his record label Level Records in 2004 and making his debut-appearance on the level1 quartett 12" EP. One year later he would release his first full 12" level2 intonation ep. Several remixes and tracks followed, including a track released on the Sushitech label. Over the years Fritschi developed Level Records as a label, producing to date 23 vinyl and CD releases ranging from electronica to deep, minimalistic, underground house.
In 2007until 2009 Daniel Fritschi was founding member and resident DJ of the "Particle Riot" collective at the Künstlerverein Malkasten.
In 2010 Daniel Fritschi began his largest undertaking towards building an permanent basis when he organized the "c|o level festival" in the foyer of an old, abandoned theatre located in the center of Düsseldorf. The festival consisted of seven events featuring a representative, cross-section of the cities musical sub-culture, held over the course of four consecutive weeks.
On the conclusion of this venture Fritschi recognized the potential in his location and decided to further develop the space, opening "Foyer” five months later on a weekly basis, as a temporary club featuring monthly Level Records label nights. With Foyer, Fritschi would succeed in establishing his vision of creating a place where various music scenes could come to collide with the art scene in a large-scale, underground styled setting. Foyer proved to be a unique venue sorely needed in the Düsseldorf music scene and over the course of nearly three years, and in collaboration with several artists and promoters, it established itself with a reputation for quality, non-commercial programming before being closed abruptly in the spring of 2013 by the City for reasons which to this day remain fully unclear.
In 2015 Daniel Fritschi pursued his enduring vision of bringing together the music and art scenes in a newly created underground setting called “Golzheim”, located in the belly of a bridge.
After 1 ½ years of “Rohbau”-construction period, Golzheim officially opened doors in May 2016 and is evolving ever since to an underground club with the reputation of really caring for Soundquality, unique optics and a proper club experience and programming in general.
Until end of January 2023, when Golzheim club was forced to close, due to the necessary reconstruction of the building it was located in, Daniel Fritschi was hosting weekly events, in total more than 500 events and plays alongside with local and international guests as resident DJ, strictly vinyl only sets.
In 2023 he started playing Vinyl-hybrid and Synthesizer-live sets in the "Logarhythm" band with Justus Grosskreutz and Ceren Gülcelik on the vocals. Another Sideproject with Justus Grosskreutz was the more Acid-leaning project "JD Rumble".
