In Interview with DeVante

The debut release for Kognitiv Records, Estranged, comes from the Australian producer and label boss DeVante, who also counts releases on Armada Music and Subjekt Recordings amongst his catalogue.

Kognitiv Records is about music that connects with the listener on a deeper level, evoking emotion. Music plays a large part in so many lives and guides us through all emotional states as a form of therapy.

Have you ever felt like you don’t belong? alienated? No longer close to someone? A stranger? Have you ever felt Estranged?! Regardless if you can relate or not, DeVante has provided a real emotive piece of music that will dive deep into your soul. Estranged is a journey into what Kognitiv Records is all about and will provide the dance floor with an experience that will take them to another level of consciousness, no matter what the set time. Whether it be sunrise, sunset, in a club setting or festival stage, Estranged is a must play.

DeVante has invited Berlin’s Florian Kruse to remix the debut release “Estranged” and he certainly has delivered. Taking a more groovy direction than the original, Florian Kruse has created another must play for all the lovers of house music!

Kognitiv Records will donate a percentage of profits from every release to a different mental health charity in an effort to create further awareness and provide support to people suffering from mental illness.

6AM sat down for a chat with label boss DeVante to learn more about the label, its goals and the charitable donation it is involved with.
