The DJ Sesisons

Coming in from Atlanta, Georgia Chad Shearer joins the conversation to discuss the evolving role of public relations in electronic music and large scale festival culture. As a partner at Caren West PR, Chad oversees the firm’s music festival division and works with events across the United States, helping shape how festivals, artists, and brands communicate their stories to audiences and media outlets. Chad explains how festival publicity has evolved beyond traditional press coverage into a broader ecosystem that includes digital media strategy, influencer engagement, and year round storytelling. Successful festivals now operate like full media brands, building anticipation months in advance through coordinated campaigns that combine artist announcements, visual identity, social content, and partnerships with key publications. The conversation explores how artists can better position themselves within festival lineups by understanding the PR pipeline behind major events. Chad breaks down the relationship between booking teams, marketing departments, and publicity teams, explaining how timing, narrative, and audience alignment influence which artists gain momentum in a crowded field. He also reflects on the long term value of authentic storytelling in music promotion. Whether working with emerging artists or globally recognized festivals, strong narratives help audiences connect with the people and culture behind the music. In an industry driven by constant releases and nonstop content, meaningful storytelling remains one of the most powerful tools for building lasting artist careers.

Broadcasting from Dundee, Oregon, just outside Portland, Will Vance joins for a thoughtful industry conversation that spans technology, media, labels, and what it truly means to “make it” in music. As Managing Editor of Magnetic Magazine, Will reflects on his unconventional entry into the electronic space, using writing as his foot in the door while developing his own skills as a producer. His journey through blogs, liner notes, marketing roles, and ultimately into leading day-to-day operations at Magnetic highlights the value of persistence, timing, and simply being reliable.   The discussion explores the rapid evolution of music technology, from mailing demo tapes decades ago to today’s frictionless digital distribution. While access has never been easier, Will stresses that opportunity alone does not equal success. He challenges the idea that “making it” only means headlining festivals, instead redefining it as creative fulfillment, sustainability, and staying connected to the process.   A major theme centers on record labels and artist relationships. Will speaks candidly about horror stories many artists face and emphasizes that labels must go beyond uploading tracks. Real value comes from advocacy, thoughtful A&R work, meaningful promo networks, and genuinely going to bat for developing talent.   Looking ahead, he notes the resurgence of bass-driven genres such as drum and bass and deeper dubstep, hinting at expansion plans for Magnetic’s label division. Through it all, his core advice remains simple yet powerful: show up on time, be easy to work with, protect your music, and stay obsessed with the craft.

In this wide-ranging Virtual Sessions conversation, Cosmic Gate’s Bossi reflects on nearly two decades of evolution in electronic music, from early club residencies to global touring and long-form artistic storytelling. The discussion opens with a look back at one of the duo’s earliest appearances, highlighting how underground club culture, extended DJ sets, and patience in musical development helped shape their identity long before short-form content dominated the landscape. A major focus centers on the Perspectives project, an ambitious multi-part release strategy designed to give music time to breathe. Rather than rushing tracks into an overcrowded release cycle, Cosmic Gate chose to unfold their work in chapters, allowing fans to connect more deeply with each phase while the duo continued touring worldwide. This approach also gave them space to observe how their sound naturally evolved over time. The conversation expands into the changing role of DJs and producers, touching on the shift from hidden DJ booths to main-stage spectacles, the pressure of social media visibility, and the challenge of staying authentic in a fast-moving industry. Bossi emphasizes that storytelling, musical integrity, and long-form experiences still matter, even as algorithms and trends push toward speed and brevity. The episode closes with reflections on technology, AI, and the importance of continuous learning. From early production limitations to today’s limitless tools, Cosmic Gate’s perspective underscores adaptability without losing artistic purpose. The dialogue ultimately reinforces a timeless message: meaningful music, given time and care, will always find its audience.

A chance, late-90s encounter in a Cologne studio set them on the path to becoming Germany’s most enduringly successful electronic music pairing. Since, each and every single release has hit the million-streams mark, with classics like ‘Exploration Of Space’ being Spotify’d over 40million times.  Their diverse remixography meanwhile includes everyone from illustrious Hollywood composers like James Horner (Avatar/Titanic), to in-scene demigods like Armin van Buuren and Tiësto. Nic & Bossi’s behind-decks-chemistry has pushed floors to supernova in a now uncountable number of countries. They’ve reigned over electronic music capitals and spun the veritable A-through-Z of major festivals. In the process they’ve picked up a GRAMMY nomination in 2019’s Best Remix category; became the highest climber on a DJ Mag’s Top 100 chart and racked up a litany of other awards and plaudits. Driven by their 11 critically renowned albums (most recently ‘MOSAIIK’), singles like ‘Nothing To Hide’, ‘Hear Me Out’ and ‘Your Mind’, and scene-defining classics like ‘am2pm’, ‘Fall Into You’, ‘Fire Wire’ and ‘Exploration of Space’, their star on dance music’s walk of fame has long since been laid. As DJs, kinetically bouncing off one another’s energy, week in, week out, Cosmic Gate continue to take floors to their highest heights. They’ve smashed the biggest festivals in all four corners, including Tomorrowlands, EDCs, Ultras, Creamfields, Untold, ASOTs, Transmissions and Dreamstates. In North America they’ve brought their inimitable sound to EZoo, IleSoniq, Beyond Wonderland, Veld, Chasing Summer and many more. Roadblocking clubs like Space, Governors Island NY, L.A.’s Palladium, Exchange & Academy venues, Washington’s Echostage, and Great Hall at Brooklyn’s Avant Gardner has become the pair’s S.O.P. Their WMC/MMW Miami Sunset Cruises have long since passed into clubbing legend and the groups famously sold out a 2000 capacity solo show on the island of Honolulu. Grammy nomination: the final month of 2018 Nic & Bossi were nominated for their first Grammy award. Selected in the Best Remixer category, their work on Gabriel & Dresden and Sub Teal’s ‘Only Road’ (Anjunabeats) drew nomination praise from the academy. The remix was further described by DJ Mag as “masterful”, with “alchemic sequencing”, a “shrewd use of context” and was “wily” in its “sound design.” Livestreams: in 2020, Cosmic Gate began a series of high-concept livestreams from around the globe. These immediately captured the imagination of a then-in-lockdown public, with each stream delivering millions of views and quadrupling their YouTube subscribership to over 300k. Panoramically backdropped by awe inspiring sunsets, they livestreamed from rooftops, beaches and villas, including locations such as Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Bali, Indonesia and by Es Vedra on Ibiza. By 2023 their New York City high-rise Sunset Set had drawn 15M views, while their Best Of 2020 from Miami had racked up 11M. In 2021,”to honour their creativity and seminal influence” EDM.com named Cosmic Gate’s Miami Open Skies set as one of the “10 best performances of the year in electronic dance music.” They went on to comment: “shifting gears yet again, their ‘MOSAIIK – Chapter One’ album showcased a darker, more techno-influenced sound and their Miami Open Skies DJ set in March (2021) moonlighted as the opening act to those new sounds.” C.G. Productions & Albums: In their homeland, Cosmic Gate has maintained a high level of mainstream success, charting no fewer than 7 top 40 singles. Further afield ‘Fire Wire’ signalled the pair’s arrival, becoming a pan-European chart smash and hitting the top ten in a number of countries. Most recently evidenced by their ground-breaking ‘MOSAIIK’ LPs, albums continue to play a significant part in their production career. At the turn of the decade, the twin releases introduced a new ethic to their music. It was one that (Cosmic Gate observed at the time) was “deeper, more progressive and song-led”, while also being “less symmetric and as intensely floor-focused as our previous material”. This, in turn, reflected the broader range of musical tastes that’d later come to inspire the pair. ‘MOSAIIK’ tracks like ‘Blame’ and ‘Nothing To Hide’ from Chapter One and ‘Hear Me Out’ from its second Chapter rapidly became some of Cosmic Gate's biggest streaming hits to date. Opening the group up to a wider audience, the albums also gave rise to their most extensive tour to date – one that by October of 2023 had encompassed 60+ dates globally and had taken them to 20 + countries.  MOSAIIK was preceded by ‘20 Years’, which was released in August of 2019. Subtitled [‘Forward Ever Backward Never’], it included new Cosmic Gate productions, as well as 2.0 renovations of CG anthems from their first two decades together. Further, it featured reworks of tunes personally inspirational to CG, as well as new takes from other artists on classic Cosmic moments. Its first single releases brought a brace of Beatport hits with the MINT-playlisted ‘Come With Me’ and the “profound” (said DJ Mag) “9/10” scored ‘Need To Be Loved’, both hitting the #1 position. ’20 Years’ itself was heralded by the two ‘Chapters’ of the longplayer ‘Materia’ – the release of which musically bookended the group’s 2017. It was the album mothership for a clutch of new Cosmic Gate singles and releases. Among them were ‘Fall Into You’, ‘Edge Of Life’, the Beatport #1 ‘am2pm’, ‘AR’ with Markus Schulz, ‘Dynamic’ with Ferry Corsten (“melody and grit in equal proportions” said DJ Mag’s 8/10 review) and others. The period 2015 – 2016 saw Cosmic Gate continue to embrace the collaboration medium through a number of high-profiles co-production projects. Among them was ‘Embargo’, which was the result of studio time shared with Armin van Buuren. The track was subsequently featured on the latter’s 2015   album, ‘Embrace’. A year later Nic & Bossi teamed up with Ferry Corsten to record ‘Event Horizon’. Garnering substantial praise from fans, DJs and press alike, it topped Beatport’s Trance chart in October of 2016. Released in the summer of 2014, Cosmic Gate used their sixth album ‘Start To Feel’ to inspire fans to experience electronic music in a “broader and more complete way”. It’s first single – the Eric Lumiere-sung ‘Falling Back’ – was described as “9.5/10” scoring “anthem in a can” by the UK’s DJ Mag. Further singles including ‘So Get Up’, ‘Yai (Here We Go Again’) and ‘Fair Game’ cemented its reputation.   In 2011 the duo released ‘Wake Your Mind’. It produced ‘Be Your Sound’ – a single that MIXMAG suggested: “finally unseats ‘Fire Wire’ as Cosmic Gate’s best-known-for track”. With its official video sitting at 18 million views on YouTube, it bagged an IDMA nomination in 2012, (with the JES-sung ‘Flying Blind’ following suit a year later). Cosmic Gate’s album movements began with ‘Rythm & Drums’ (in 2001), ‘No More Sleep’ which followed a year later and ‘Earth Mover’ in ‘06. The latter was the album platform for the club hits ‘Analog Feel’, ‘Should Have Known’ and the IDMA-nominated

From Tuscany, Italy, rising DJ and producer HAXHIA joins to share his story of passion, discipline, and musical heritage. At just 23 years old, he has already carved out a unique sound that blends disco, funk, and tech house influences while staying true to his Albanian and Greek roots. His journey began at age 13 when he discovered his uncle’s old CDJs, sparking a fascination that quickly grew into a lifelong pursuit. What started as curiosity became a deep creative calling, driven by emotion and the desire to connect through rhythm. HAXHIA describes music as a universal language—an emotional exchange between artist and audience. Onstage, he transforms from a reserved personality into an expressive performer, channeling pure energy to craft an experience rather than a setlist. Influenced by Bob Sinclar and the timeless Defected Records sound, he aims to bring melody and heart back to the dance floor, reminding listeners that authenticity matters more than hype. He speaks on the challenges of today’s fast-paced release culture, where pressure to produce weekly tracks often overshadows quality. HAXHIA believes in slowing down to refine his craft, working closely with Origami Management on both production and artistry. His recent track RM merges Balkan flutes with tech house grooves, showcasing his ability to blend cultural tradition with modern innovation. For HAXHIA, success is simple: emotional connection, creative honesty, and the joy of seeing a crowd move as one.

Broadcasting live from Spinnin’ Records Studios in Amsterdam, Martin Jensen reconnects to discuss innovation, passion, and the evolving music landscape. Known for his hit singles and global reach, Martin opens up about Me Myself Online, his ongoing creative project that began during lockdown on Twitch and has now evolved into a high-quality YouTube series. The first episode, filmed aboard one of the world’s largest container ships, the Mary Mærsk, symbolizes his ambition to blend music with unique global experiences. He talks candidly about the hidden costs and complexity of live streaming, referencing how production logistics can reach tens of thousands of dollars just to go live—a challenge that helped him appreciate in-person performances even more. Despite his hectic schedule, Martin admits to having little routine or structure, joking about surviving on little sleep and a love for red wine over kale salads. The discussion turns toward creativity and mental balance. When facing creative blocks, he shares that spontaneity—and occasionally a strong vodka Red Bull—helps break through stagnation. He emphasizes the importance of enjoying the process over chasing perfection, viewing each show as both a performance and a test of endurance. Touching on AI, Dolby Atmos, and streaming economics, Martin sees technology as both opportunity and caution. He values authenticity and artistry over shortcuts, preferring hands-on creation. For him, success isn’t measured in numbers or fame but in fun, passion, and staying inspired. His advice to rising artists: do what feels right, stay true, and never forget why you started.

From Scottsdale, Arizona, Deuandra joins to share her journey as a multifaceted artist balancing music, fashion, and film. With twelve albums under her belt, her latest release Fit marks a new creative direction, blending spoken word, rap, and pop influences. The project is deeply personal, inspired by her late mother—a fashion designer—and the rediscovery of her passion for design. Through Fit, she channels emotion, healing, and truth, crafting stories that speak to growth, loss, and resilience. Her creativity extends beyond music into film. Her sci-fi fantasy feature Tout Fugé—shot across multiple countries with local talent—has already earned international recognition, winning awards in Hong Kong and India. Currently streaming on her Roku channel D’Teron TV, the film showcases her commitment to independent storytelling and global collaboration. Between fashion shows in New York, Paris, and Dubai, Deuandra continues to merge artistry and entrepreneurship, building her brand Detron Couture while uplifting others through her work. A true “predator” in the creative sense—producer, director, and editor—she thrives on crafting her own path. Whether in music, fashion, or film, Deuandra finds her grounding through faith and perseverance. She embraces challenges with gratitude, reminding others to stay authentic despite criticism or setbacks. Her story is a testament to creativity, balance, and the power of faith-driven determination.

Thomas Turner, the visionary founder of Relentless Beats, joins from Phoenix, Arizona, to discuss his journey from club DJ to one of the most influential live event producers in the United States. With over three decades in the industry, Thomas reflects on starting as an enthusiast and throwing underground events in old post offices before turning his passion into a full-scale business in the early 2000s. Today, Relentless Beats produces more than 500 events annually, from intimate club nights to massive festivals across multiple states. He describes his early motivations as driven not by profit but by a desire to fill a cultural void in Arizona’s nightlife. Over time, this vision expanded nationally through strategic partnerships, including East Meets West in New York. Thomas explains the evolution of major festivals such as Decadence, Gold Rush, and Phoenix Lights, highlighting the creative process behind curating each lineup and venue experience. For him, every event serves as a reflection of the community, emphasizing both artistic diversity and fan connection. The discussion also delves into the modern realities of event culture, from managing safety operations to addressing cell phone use at shows. Thomas offers insight into Relentless Rangers, a fan-first initiative that ensures guests’ well-being at every festival. He also shares thoughts on “proper house” and his passion for maintaining authenticity in an increasingly commercialized scene. Despite overseeing hundreds of productions a year, Thomas remains grounded in creativity and collaboration. His message to fans is simple: join the movement, celebrate responsibly, and help shape the next era of dance music culture.
