What I Used To Play
Catharsis Remixes
The life-affirming energy at the heart of Sven Väth‘s recent album Catharsis, is revisited, reanimated, and remixed by some of the most exciting names around, closing the circle on a superlative burst of recent work that has not only given us the epic original LP, but also the extraordinary compilation What I Used To Play.
Roman Flügel, Benjamin Damage, Robert Hood, Planetary Assault Systems, Mano Le Tough… do we need to go on? This hand-picked list of luminaries have answered the call and certainly don’t disappoint, each fusing their signature sound with Sven‘s DNA to create a wild, uncompromising companion piece to the original album.

Metal Master (Sven Väth)
Spectrum
You may have already been waiting for this one. After the limited splattered one-sided vinyl edition, this 12-inch pressing comes with the remastered original mix on the B-side.
The original, the second release on the label Harthouse at the time, is an all-time classic and went down in the music history of Frankfurt. Thirty years later, the track by Sven Väth and A.C. Boutsen has not lost its shine and will certainly continue to provide goosebump moments.

Dots And Pearls 7
As ever, Cocoon Recordings celebrate the turn of the year with another mouth-watering collection of electronic music. Dots And Pearls Volume 7 includes eight choice techno cuts of varying shapes and sizes, that somehow manage to acknowledge both past and future, while staying forever rooted in the ‘here and now’.

Metal Master - Spectrum
(Bart Skils & Weska Reinterpretation)
A powerful reinterpretation that pays the warmest respects to the original, Bart Skils and Weska lend their considerable talent and vision to this sublime makeover.
The original "Spectrum", which Sven Väth and Matthias Hoffmann have written for legendary Harthouse thirty years ago, truly captures the emotion and magic that music can create, and despite the relentless remix groove of this special single-sided release, there is still lots of room for sentimentality.

COCOON OFFICE SELECTION
A Spotify playlist erupting from our playfully volatile HQ.
This is what we are listening to as we strive every day on the electronic workface. The blood, the sweat, the too many espressos - it’s all there.
In this soundtrack of our working lives, there are no boundaries. Only intriguing insights because anything goes. Any flavor, any instruments, any speed.
Surprises galore making the mix, so much so that we are going to update with new tunes regularly. It’s not exactly a competition but we try and ring each other’s bells and hope we can tinkle yours as well.
Come and join us in the office every week - we do all the work.

Sven Väth - Feiern
“When you cannot play music - make some.”
Vivid things have been happening backstage in the long months that Sven was deprived of your company.
We now have a gorgeous Cocoon Recordings announcement to make. Coming your way is an astounding new single, “Feiern” and next year a fabulous new album, “Catharsis”.
Listen to it home alone, and you will still find yourself on a dance floor amongst waving arms and random cuddles.
It could only be Sven.

Jonathan Kaspar - Invert Drift
Jonathan Kaspar has that rare, instinctive ability to germinate the seed of an idea and nurture it to its logical conclusion, both melodically and sonically. It’s why his stock has been rising so sharply in recent years with future classics already released on Kompakt and Objektivity to name but two. Now he’s at it again on his debut EP for Cocoon Recordings with three distinctive tracks of sublime quality.

A Soundtrack for
Space Travel
Here comes a strange Christmas for us all. We have to make space and be careful everywhere we go.
Space travel might be the answer. No social distancing up there and Sven is already on top of it after his early Christmas present to the visionary Elon Musk.
So many of you have asked about this presentation we now want to make his playlist available on Spotify as our early Christmas present. We hope you enjoy. You can find it here .
We may not have “The Sound of the Season” but thanks to Sven we do have a “Soundtrack for Space Travel” on the cooker.
Stay safe in space
