Last year, we started following the rise of Cosmiq, and our obsession with his artistry grew with every listen. Naturally, we wanted to start the new year with an energy that felt celestially aligned, and couldn’t wait to immerse ourselves in Cosmiq‘s latest release, Troublemaker, this time in collaboration with Lana.

The track opens with a tropical melody and astral vocalizations, expanding with a textured beat and the lyrics, “I see you there with the fire in your eyes, spinning me dizzy like Tequila Sunrise…”. We immediately connect with the sun-kissed energy and seductive nature of the song.

We feel at one with the cinematic narrative that is unfolding, and as always, Cosmiq‘s music is filled with intention and precision. Lana‘s vocals are perfection and actually feel very human. We love the relatable nature of the story and could imagine the song landing a multitude of sync placements – perhaps a Love Island or Perfect Match episode!

The metaphors in the lyrics, particularly in the second verse, are brilliant, and the timeless evolution of the track feels familiar, yet contemporary – this is in part to the masterful production skillset that Cosmiq delivers.

The middle eight is a mediative moment with keys, subtle percussion, looped ad-libs of the hook that expand into a dynamic final reprise. The artist cites Dua Lipa, Calvin Harris, Rema, J Balvin, and Kygo as sonic influences, which map out perfectly.

As for the message, Cosmiq adds, “Troublemaker was created around the idea of playful chemistry – that electric moment when flirtation, confidence, and rhythm collide. The track captures the mood of a late-night encounter, the kind where the lights get low, the beat takes over, and trouble feels just a little too tempting. It’s about embracing confidence, letting your guard down, and stepping into a vibe that feels bold, sensual, and fun.”

We are always impressed with what Cosmiq creates, and have added Troublemaker to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to enjoy his growing discography, and anticipate future releases!

Establishing the mood with an almost tribal chant with a brooding bass frequency and signature feel-good tropical synths, Cosmiq opens Feel the Fire with the. situational prose, “Feel the heat, it’s in the air, move your body, everywhere, yeah, lights are low, the night’s alive, pulses beating, can’t deny, the rhythm’s calling, the night is falling, stepping closer, feel the fire…”

The opus expands with boundless energy, like a night at Scorpios in Mykonos, to tap into a nocturnal euphoria, and the consistent sonic sentiment that we have come to love and admire from Cosmiq. The EDM-pop adjacency is epic, the glitched vocal design sends us into a frenzy. We are in awe of the vocals and the high octane vibes that feel empowering and universally connected.

Feel the Fire comes to life as a vibrant collision of Afrobeat pulses, Latin House heat, R&B smoothness and contemporary club muscle. Every detail contributes to an infectious groove which is engineered to ignite the dancefloor.

Influenced by artists like Burna Boy, Major Lazer, Rema, J Balvin, and Kygo, the track balances cultural richness with mainstream appeal and a cinematic allure. We could imagine this in a club scene from a TV show like Elite on Netflix or Euphoria on HBO. Its heartbeat is global, but its execution is clean, modern and festival-ready.

As always, the track was crafted entirely in Cosmiq’s home studio! “Music is energy,” Cosmiq says. “When you feel that spark, the whole world moves with you.”

There is no doubt that Cosmiq proves once again that he is a genius in the studio. His instincts are razor sharp. His sound design is deliberate and simultaneously effortless. Every beat is intentional. Every melody feels natural. He blends cultures without forcing them and brings to life a high emotional quotient that really sets him apart from his peers. We would love to see him share his art at a massive festival like Tomorrowland.

In the meantime, we have added Feel the Fire to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Cosmiq including Dance All Night, and Cosmic Love.

Our obsession with Cosmiq seems to grow with every listen! We previously featured the genre-expansive, atmospheric anthem Dance All Night, and his high frequency, dimensional single, Cosmic Love, so when we heard that Cosmiq was back with Dancing in the Rain, we couldn’t wait to immerse ourselves in his universe once again!

Opening with a charming vocal ad-lib and a luscious, Latin guitar soundscape, Cosmiq opens Dancing in the Rain with connected prose, metaphorical with intentional depth. There is always romance in his songs – they feel full of love – perfect to manifest human connection or celebrate the existing connection that you have with a loved one.

The vocal production is pop perfection and the vivid picture that Cosmiq paints with his lyrics and production is divine. It’s a feel good energy that we could imagine being played on a beach in Thailand or during a tropical storm in Goa, India. The addition of the astral flute is perfect to bring to life the vibe, and the vocal runs are sublime.

With his Afrobeats meets pop sound, Cosmiq confesses, “My goal is to connect with listeners around the world through streaming, playlists, and radio. The studio is where my passion thrives — where every beat, melody, and lyric becomes a story that speaks for itself, wherever and however it’s heard.”

In line with his wider discography, Dancing in the Rain is both sensual and explosive. It shifts seamlessly between sunset serenity and late-night club fire. Inspired by Burna Boy, Bad Bunny, Wizkid and The Weeknd, the song is designed to celebrate resilience and joy, turning life’s storms into movement and connection through rhythm.

Cosmiq is all about unity through sound. We love how he fuses EDM, Afrobeats, Latin House, and Tropical grooves into uplifting, feel-good music. Crafted in his home studio – every beat, synth, and vocal line flows naturally.

We have added Dancing in the Rain to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream Cosmiq‘s exquisite growing discography, and anticipate future releases from the sonic maestro!

We recently featured Cosmiq when he took us on a celestial trip with the genre expansive, atmospheric anthem, Dance All Night, so when we heard that the talented artist was back with Cosmic Love, we were curious to say the least, and couldn’t wait to listen and share our experience.

Establishing the mood with a meditative bassline, and a boundless tropical energy, Cosmiq opens Cosmic Love with the dimensionality that we have come to appreciate from the star. A sublime guitar and textured percussion guides us as Cosmiq invites us to travel through time and space.

“Feel the heat, feel the vibe, stars collide, you’re my sky…” shares Cosmiq as we dance through the galaxy under the moonlight, spinning around, losing control and feeling the flow of Cosmic Love. We appreciate the high-frequency energy that manifests with the genre-blending track.

The fusion of Dance Pop, Latin House, Afrobeat, Dancehall, and R&B create a cohesive and hypnotic tapestry of sound. Drawing inspiration from artists like Major Lazer, Burna Boy, J Balvin, and The Weeknd, the track embodies the spirit of modern nightlife, and showcases instrumental mastery and a refined production that is radio friendly, dance floor ready and perfect for escapism on the beach at night – a surefire hit at Scorpios, Mykonos!

We learn that the track was independently produced in Cosmiq’s home studio, which brings to life the authenticity that transmutes. For Cosmiq, Cosmic Love represents more than just a dance track – it’s a celebration of attraction, freedom, and the magnetic energy that music creates on the dancefloor.

Naturally, we are in awe and have added Cosmic Love to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Cosmiq, and anticipate future releases from the visionary producer.

Drawing us in with an atmospheric, tropical house meets Afrobeats hybrid energy, Cosmiq opens Dance All Night with ethereal ad libs and luscious vocals singing, “Feel the rhythm, feel the tide, let it take you though the night…”

The opus expands with a cosmic dimensionality in line with the artist’s moniker, as if we are on a beach on an island at night. The vibe feels perfect for Scorpios in Mykonos of a full moon party in Thailand. We appreciate the uplifting energy that manifests with the prose, and the EDM-adjacent builds do indeed inspire to “dance all night” and feel alive.

The production has a timeless vibe, but the mix is progressive, clearly using pristine sonic technology to bring to life the universal message of the track. Speaking on the construction of the release, Cosmiq confesses, “Dance All Night was created and recorded entirely in my home studio. Working in this personal space gave me full creative freedom and allowed me to shape every detail of the track exactly as I envisioned it. The home studio has become a place of inspiration — where ideas turn into sound without limits or distractions. For me, this makes the release especially meaningful, as it reflects both the independence and authenticity behind Cosmiq’s music.”

With reference to his influences, the Dutch rising star adds, “Dance All Night was inspired by a mix of global sounds and artists who blend energy with emotion. Influences such as David Guetta, Major Lazer, and J Balvin shaped the track’s vibrant balance of house, Latin, and Afro-inspired rhythms.” We can feel this come through, although there is no doubt that Cosmiq is manifesting a sound unto his own.

There is also a cinematic allure to the piece, which brings to life a cohesive and immersive tapestry of sound. We can imagine Dance All Night garnering a multitude of sync deals, perhaps a night scene in Love Island or Netflix’s Too Hot To Handle, or even a Hollywood movie scene set in a tropical destination!

Naturally, we love what Cosmiq is creating, and have added Dance All Night to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream Cosmiq’s growing discography, including Glow Up, and Electric Pull.
