Cosmic Laws EP: A Deep Dive into Minimal Vibes
Alright, let me just say this—Cosmic Laws EP by Tommy Kornuijt & Robin Kampschoer hit me like a late-night drive through empty streets. You know that feeling? When everything’s quiet except for the hum of your thoughts and some killer tunes blasting in the background? Yeah, that’s what this album does to you. Released back in 2012 on Moving Vibrations (a Dutch label with serious taste), it’s one of those hidden gems that sneaks up on you when you least expect it.
The genre is electronic, but don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s all flashy drops or over-the-top beats. Nope. This is minimal deep house at its finest. It’s subtle, smooth, and kinda hypnotic. The kind of music that makes you forget where you are for a second. And trust me, I’ve had these tracks stuck in my head long after they ended.
Let’s talk about “Cosmic Laws” first because… wow. Right outta the gate, it pulls you in with this warm bassline that feels like sinking into a beanbag chair after a long day. Then there’s this delicate synth melody floating around, almost teasing you, like it doesn’t wanna give too much away. That balance between chill and mysterious? Perfect. Every time I hear it, I picture staring at stars, trying to figure out if aliens exist. Weird flex, I know, but that’s how immersive this track is.
Then we’ve got “Nubian Princess.” Oh man, this one hits different. There’s something soulful about it—the way the percussion builds slowly, layer by layer, until it feels like a heartbeat syncing with yours. It’s not loud or in-your-face; instead, it whispers to you, asking you to stay awhile longer. Honestly, I played this track during a lazy Sunday morning once, and suddenly folding laundry felt less boring and more… meditative. Like, who knew deep house could make chores feel zen?
What really sticks with me about Cosmic Laws EP isn’t just the music itself—it’s the vibe. These guys, Tommy and Robin, clearly poured their hearts into this project. They wrote it, produced it, lived it. You can tell every note was crafted carefully, without rushing anything. It’s not trying too hard to impress anyone, which ironically makes it even more impressive.
Here’s the thing though—listening to this EP feels like finding an old Polaroid photo tucked inside a book. It reminds you of moments you didn’t even realize you missed. Maybe that’s why it still resonates years later. Or maybe I’m just overthinking it. Either way, it works.
So yeah, check out Cosmic Laws EP. Whether you’re into minimal deep house or just need some decent background music while pretending to adult, this’ll do the trick. Just don’t blame me if you end up zoning out mid-conversation because “Nubian Princess” came on again. Happens to the best of us.
Oh, and P.S.—if Tommy and Robin ever decide to drop another collab, sign me up immediately. Even if it takes them another decade. Patience is key, right?
