Duo-ul german Cosmic Gate s-a format in 1999, cand dj si producatorii Claus Terhoeven (n.1972; aka Nic Chagall) si Stefan Bossems (n. 1967; aka Bossi) s-au hotarat sa fondeze un nou proiect pe scena muzicii electronice. Cosmic Gate a debutat cu lansarea single-ului 'The Drums'. Au urmat 'Mental Atmosphere' si 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow'. Recunoasterea a venit in urma intrarii in Top 10 a single-ului 'Fire Wire'. Lansata local in 2000, piesa a inceput sa urce in topurile UK in 2001 si a devenit un summerhit in cluburile europene. 'Exploration Of Space' a urmat un an mai tarziu. Dupa primele albume 'Rythm & Drums' (2001) si 'No More Sleep' (2002), in 2006 ei au lansat albumul 'Earth Mover', care a fost orientat mai mult spre o latura melodica si electronica. Clubhit-urile 'Analag Feel' si 'I Feel Wonderful' au adus baietilor de la Cosmic Gate nominalizari la IDMA pentru Best Album Of 2007.
In 2009 Nic si Bossi au lansat al patrulea album de studio, 'Sign Of The Times', care contine 12 piese nou-noute si nelansate pana atunci, cu o tendinta spre piese vocale pentru care au colaborat cu o serie de nume ale scenei muzicale ce se inscriu in diverse genuri, rezultand o diversitate de sound-uri. Pe acest album se afla 'Body Of Conflict' si hit-ul 'Not Enough Time', care a fost descris de Tiesto ca fiind '' un vocal trance extraordinar si puternic care atinge toate simturile muzicale!''. Despre 'Sign Of The Times' Armin van Buuren spune:

'' Noul album Cosmic Gate este una dintre cele mai asteptate lansari ale acestui an. Ei sunt in prima linie a muzicii dance in acest moment''.

Sunt autorii unei serii de compilatii back2back, inceputa in 2003 (Back 2 Back lansata la Emi Music), ultima semnand-o in 2007 la Black Hole Recordings (label-ul lui Tiesto). Ultima compilatie Back 2 Back vol 3 aduce un mix trance, progressive si electro si cuprinde numeroase productii Cosmic Gate remarcabile nelansate pana atunci.
Baietii de la Cosmic Gate sunt si niste remixeri excelenti, de-a lungul timpului remixand artisti, precum Tiesto ('Urban Train'), Ferry Corsten ('Punk'), Blank & Jones ('DEF'), Svenson & Gielen ('Answer The Question') si Vanessa - Mae ('White Bird'). Recenta prelucrare Deadmau5 - 'Clockwork' a avut un efect devastator. Au mai creat doua remix-uri extrem de bune: Vincent de Moor - 'Flu Away' si Veracocha - 'Carte Blanche'.
In spatele pupitrului, Nic si Bossi pot fi gasiti saptamana de saptamana performand in cele mai tari cluburi din lume, de la Velfarre din Tokio, Glow din Washington, The Gallery din Lndra si Home Club din Sydney. In 2008 au cantat la faimoasa Monday nighter a lui Tiesto din clubul Privilege (Ibiza), in clubul Judjement Sunday si in cluburile din USA si Australia. Au intrat in DJ Mag Top 100 timp de 6 ani si au devenit atractia festivalurilor si evenimentelor precum, Trance Energy si Mysteryland din Olanda, Summadayze din Australia, Nature One - Germania si altele. La inceputul anului 2009 au avut programate participari la Freedom Festival impreuna cu Tiesto si Sunrise din Polonia. Aparitiile lor regulate pe fiecare continent le-au oferit baietilor de la Cosmic Gate sansa de-a ajunge cu adevarat in inima fanilor de pretutindeni.
