Mauro Picotto - Lizard (Cosmic Gate Extended Remix)

Get it here: cosmicgate.complete.me/20years
Fair to say Cosmic Gate have had a pretty charmed start to their milestone twentieth year. The first six months alone have seen the duo serve a brace of Beatport #1s with the MINT-playlisted ‘Come With Me’ and the “profound” (say DJ Mag) “9/10” ranked ‘Need To Be Loved’. January brought word of their first Grammy nomination and further saw the group kick off their Forward Ever, Backward Never tour - one that to date has touched 30 cities worldwide.
Evermore those shows have seen Nic & Bossi introduce IDs from their impending ninth longplayer, but further hard facts on [Forward Ever Backward Never]’s contents have remained elusive. Until now that is! For today, we can give it to you complete & straight - and for fans old & new, it’s gonna make for some mighty fine reading.
The headline: well the album’s nigh - proper nigh! There are less than 30 sleeps to wait, as Aug 23 is drop-day and its tracklist, advance clips and presale are live & kicking this very moment. You can head to your portal of choice (cosmicgate.complete.me/20years) to see what’s what, but hold up another minute and we’ll give you a couple of useful insights!
On its announcement Cosmic Gate commented that it was their intention to “take us closer to the 360 of who we are, where we’ve been and where we’re going. In order to do this, the group junked the ‘greatest hits album’ blueprint and approached their 20 years commemorator from four separate production angles.
‘Forward Ever’ places new Cosmic Gate productions like ‘Light Years’ & ‘Come With Me’ side by side with 2.0 rebuilds of immortals like ‘The Wave’ & ‘Not Enough Time’. It also serves as a platform for reworks of tracks that personally have been beyond inspirational to Cosmic Gate - ‘Lizard’, ‘Need To Feel Loved’ and ‘L.E.D.’ among them. Further, it features new takes by others on classic Cosmic moments from the past 20. In that respect, Nic & Bossi have called on the redoubtably future-minded talents of Ilan Bluestone, Andrew Bayer and others to prepare ‘Be Your Sound’, ‘Fire Wire’ and others for next-decade clubfloor glory.
20 Years - [Forward Ever, Backward Never] is an LP without precedent - a ‘greatest hits’ the likes of which you’ve never heard before (but more than likely will again!).

Excellent Remix good stuff! BIG LIKE🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏

[@hatakage]

Masterpiece!!!!!

[@Carl-vq6ww]

Always ❤ for cosmic gate. When u take a track as iconic as this and pull a remix off that’s nearly as good as the original. Hats off to u.

[@anuarabai8447]

very nice music....

[@Agent4054]

The remix of the synths sounds closer to Binary Finary - 1998 than Lizard. Granted, Lizard has the same notes, just with less arpeggio. But still.

[@low3freq]

Italians ripping off other acts? NEVER! I don't give a fook though, Like This Like That by M.P. was genius even if sounds like Armin's Blue Fear.

[@vultur311]

That's right, Lizard always reminded of Binary Finary

[@naanDooF1]

Just hearing it sound me familiar and yeah then I saw ur comment, 1998 clone, exactly the same

[@PedroH.C.]

Come to Sardinia, please!!!!!!!!!

[@cmpofficial4824]

2021 ?

[@Fitnessfreakshowz]

This music is so sick I'm surprised it isn't illegal..

[@Marinate305]

So sick it’ll hit you with a cold.

[@darioz5894]

Smooth N Dirty 😈

[@jostia7986]

It’s a decent remix; but nothing will hold to the original Lizard with the pounding monster bass (see Oakenfold dropping this at Gatecrashers NYE 2000) maybe the best drop ever..place was up for grabs after that!

[@gospizzle6980]

Imagine if early turn of the century CG got their hands on this and produced a hard trance remix. It would have been huge

[@robtudor8598]

Agreed you cant beat the original, but I still like this re work by cosmic gate. Its sounds fresh. Maybe would of been better with CG original sounds. I hint a little binary finary feel to this remix but great all the same

[@djseanie]

RESPECT

[@JanHartwigFoto]

Nice work but sounds more than a remix by Above & Beyond

[@slavincakes8637]

Wrecked the tune

[@robertvalentine1049]

Just ruined a classic

[@ArenBerberian]

Agreed, CG has fallen hard from their roots, and all these modern progressive remixes of classic songs are doing nothing more than spitting on their memory.

[@ArenBerberian]

Bring back HARD TRANCE CG.

[@MrDodoria1]

All you need is Still listen the classic 🤭😅😎

[@hatekills8393]

Butchered.

[@robertvalentine1049]

The thing is that cosmic gate old sound 2001 would sound great on this track

[@Mestemusic]

no me gusto el remix le quito toda la fuerza del tema mal ahi Cosmic Gate

[@jamesking8755]

Terrible remix. 10bpm to slow. No energy in it at all. ZZZzzzz
