        COSMOS is a hybrid platform highlighting independent music scenes from around the world. 

        We invite vibrant music communities from every corner of the map to become COSMOS Embassies and to share their stories through mixtapes, films, live radio, conversations and performances - both online and offline.

        We believe in the transformative powers of music and community.

        COSMOS is founded by Le Guess Who?. Widely considered to be one of the most forward-thinking festivals around, LGW is celebrated for presenting groundbreaking music in inspiring ways. 

        COSMOS further expands LGW’s global vision by highlightinh inspiring stories and insights year-round—it's a way to cultivate anti-algorithmic music discovery. COSMOS is an ever-expanding network of creative minds and partners that support, inspire, and educate.

        COSMOS x Refuge Worldwide

        We're are excited about our continued partnership with Berlin-based community radio Refuge Worldwide.

        Since 2021, they have become an important community radio and cultural hub, spreading cutting-edge music with a clear mission of solidarity and social activism. As such, they are a perfect match with a shared mission to present sounds and stories from around the world, hand-picked by the local musicians themselves.

        Every third Monday of the month, COSMOS jumps on the Refuge Worldwide signal to present two hours of sounds from their ever-expanding network of adventurous musicians from every corner of the map. Tune in:



        COSMOS Embassies

        We collaborate with different partners and scenes from every corner of the world to share their stories through mixtapes, film, live radio, conversations and performances - both online and offline.

        Together with these COSMOS Embassies we create an ever-expanding network of creative minds. We build bridges between people who haven’t yet had a chance to cross paths to create an ever-expanding network of creative minds and partners that support, inspire and educate.
