Right from the moment Kiosk I.D. announced their catalog no. 030, we just knew that it was destined to be a declaration of love to the city whose area code it shares, and to the vibrant culture of Berlin.
For the label’s anniversary release, residents Coss and Peter Schumann put a melodically charged twist on the enveloping experiences that made Berlin the epicenter of electronic music. ‘The Islands’ delivers a beautifully engineered long-player that takes the duo’s warm, chord-driven soundscapes to the farthest reaches of genre and emotion.
‘The Islands’ is not the first venture for Coss and Peter Schumann as a duo. Across a string of groove-centric releases that merge Peter’s House-infused joie de vivre with Coss’ blossoming soundscapes, the twosome developed a profoundly floor-focused melodic repertoire with refreshing, dubby undercurrents.
‘The Islands’ is the much-anticipated pinnacle of their artistic symbiosis, bringing together beautifully nuanced sound design and driving drum structures. Coss and Peter Schumann offer a journey through their deep and uplifting aesthetic, showcasing the forward-thinking eclecticism that happens when two storied producers fuse minds and sensibilities.
No one is an island, each a part of the main. Peter Schumann and Coss’ first collaborative long-player is a beautiful representation of the magic that can happen when two artists spend years honing their joined vision.
‘The Islands’ ends up being much more than the sum of its parts, unfolding a bright and melodic energy arc across ten genre-defying and emotional productions.
