Kos:mo is a German artist from Cologne who recently featured a track on one of Respekt's mix artist releases and this time he is back with a two-track solo EP.

In addition to Respekt, Kos:mo has also featured his hard-hitting style of techno on other respected imprints including Balthazar & JackRock's Renesanz, Space 92's Perfekt Groove and The YellowHeads' Reload Records.

'The Reason' opens the release with driving percussion, powerful vocals and rave-inspired synths layered over a pulsating bassline. 'Reload Ride' is dark and ominous with its vocal stabs, grinding bassline and thundering kick drum fused with a breakbeat percussion loop.
