Kosmonaut - Utopia EP

Kosmonaut - Utopia EP

label: iD.EOLOGY
released: 9.3.2011
style: drum´n´bass dubstep electronic chillout
format: 320kbps mp3

A utopia is an ideal usually set far away in either space or time or even both. It describes a situation in which current problems and limitations have been overcome, a condition that is desirable but yet unachievable. It often comes from people who've gotten around a bit and who are blessed with the gift of vision.
Kosmonaut has been to the most distant corners of the electromusical universe and has encountered many shapes and varieties of sound. Instead of just supplying a mere travelogue, he lets all his experiences coalesce into his very own utopia on his third e.p. on iD.EOLOGY. He sketches out a sonic society in which space-age drum'n'bass, dubstep electronica, sweet and lush slow-house and subtle chillout-ambient co-exist in peace at even volumes, mix with each other, cross-fertilize and tear down the stylistic walls between them. It's a colourful world in which everything seems possible and new forms of musical expression are being created almost by the minute.
So maybe in Kosmonaut's case, the utopia isn't all that far away. In fact, listening to this e.p. one might get the feeling it has already arrived ... and you're standing right in the middle of it.

Kosmonaut - Frames EP

label: iD.EOLOGY
released: 2-2008
style: drum ´n bass electronic

On his intersonic flights Kosmonaut has visited many genre-galaxies and he has never forgotten to pack some stylistic devices as mementos. As a consequence, his first EP on iD.EOLOGY combines dry d'n'b beats with deep pads, cool basslines with melodic sequencer-tracks, feverish drive with serene relaxation.

Kosmonaut - Photon

Kosmonaut - Photon

label: iD.EOLOGY
released: 2.2011
style: dubstep drum'n'bass
format: 320kbps mp3

Just as one thing can be viewed entirely different in different light, depending on how you view it light itself can appear as entirely different things - as wave or as particle. The photons which light consists of are neither the one thing nor the other, and yet they're both at the same time.
On his superluminal trips through the electromusical universe Kosmonaut had plenty of opportunities to delve deeply into the nature of light, and enough inspiration to record his findings in the universal language of music. On long-wave basses he drags us down into the hypnotic maelstrom of a black hole of infinitely compressed dubstep, lets perishing melodical fragments flash up one last time before the energetic darkness swallows them entirely. What started out as drum'n'bass from another world, bursts into a supernova of brilliantly variegated tone colours, emits shockwaves of pulsating beats and blows a harmonic particle-storm through our gray cells.
Purists may now wonder whether Kosmonaut is about dubstep or about drum'n'bass. Much in the vain of the wave-particle-dualism he is neither about the one thing nor about the other, and yet he's about both at the same time. In the end, though, much like the photon itself, Kosmonaut really is about one thing: energy.
