Premiere: UMEK "Vibrancy" (Kos:mo Remix) - 1605 Records
Kos:mo adds his twist to Vibrancy, one of UMEK’s biggest tracks
Kos:mo used the hot summer days to rework one of UMEK’s classics, Vibrancy, which has amassed almost 10 million streams in its original form. The original track saw the veteran artist combine a tougher techno sound with more emotive, melodic elements, while a pounding kick drum gives way to a groove-laden breakdown halfway through. Kos:mo injects his signature deep, progressive grooves and heavy-hitting vocals, taking the track to a whole new level. Blending UMEK’s masterful production with his own distinctive groove-driven style, he creates something that carries both artists’ unmistakable fingerprints while feeling simultaneously fresh and timeless.
UMEK, born Uroš Umek in Ljubljana, Slovenia, is a techno pioneer who helped kickstart Slovenia’s electronic music scene with illegal raves in the early ’90s. With more than three decades at the forefront of the genre, he has released on labels such as Drumcode, Filth on Acid and Tronic. As the founder of 1605, UMEK has shaped modern techno with tracks like Lanicor and Gatex. His relentless output and more than 100 gigs a year—from Berlin’s underground clubs to festivals including EDC, Ultra and Creamfields—have established him as one of techno’s most influential global ambassadors.
Hailing from Germany, Kos:mo has rapidly established himself as a force in the global techno scene. Known for his meticulous productions and commanding DJ sets, he has become a staple on labels such as 1605, Drumcode and Tragedie, with tracks that consistently climb the Beatport charts. In the last few years, tracks such as Ananda, Body Move and Obey To The Dancefloor have further strengthened his reputation for crafting powerful, groove-driven anthems that resonate with both techno purists and a new generation of fans.
Founded by UMEK in 2007, 1605 boasts more than 340 releases featuring artists such as Sam Wolfe, Maddix, Teenage Mutants, Danny Avila and Space 92. This remix continues the label’s legacy of bringing together iconic names and emerging talent.
Vibrancy (Kos:mo Remix) will be available for pre-order on Beatport from July 31, 2026, followed by an exclusive download release on Beatport and streaming across all major platforms, including Spotify, on August 7, 2026.
