Cosmicat, a Saudi female DJ and producer, will make her US debut at Ultra Miami on March 25, 2023.

MDL BEAST Records has announced that global artist Cosmicat has secured a worldwide representation agreement with the label.

Cosmicat's distinct style seamlessly combines elements of Pop, R&B, and Hip-Hop.

Her distinct combination of genres has enthralled crowds everywhere, from Saudi underground dance parties to Soundstorm, Exit Festival, Tomorrowland, and Boiler Room, among other big worldwide events and venues.

“We are thrilled to have an artist as dynamic and vibrant as Cosmicat on MDL BEAST Records.

Her audience continues to grow worldwide, with her recent EP “Ascension” being well received by influential international DJs, at radio and on Global DSPs, and with US, UK and European festival shows planned for this year.

“She is blowing up worldwide and MDL BEAST is behind her 100%,” said Talal Albahiti, COO of MDL BEAST Records.

The artist made her first major appearance at MDL BEAST’s inaugural festival Soundstorm in Saudi Arabia in 2019, performing to hundreds of thousands. She has been a staple headliner at parties across the MENA region, and globally ever since.

“I am so grateful to MDL BEAST Records for this opportunity to partner and grow together.

As a Saudi label with global ambitions, my music and their vision are very much aligned,” Cosmicat said. “I can’t wait to show Miami — and the world — what we are able to do.”

Cosmicat grew up in Jeddah at a period when parties and public performances were frowned upon, and pursuing a career as a musician was nearly impossible.

Despite the absence of venues and possibilities, Cosmicat began DJing in her bedroom, writing, vocalising, and producing her first tracks utilising internet instructions and her intuitive grasp of music.

In 2018, she began playing at private events for Saudi Arabia's underground music scene.

In the years afterwards, she has shared stages with some of the greatest names in the business, including R3HAB, Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix, Solomun, Peggy Gou, and Jamie Jones.

Cosmicat began to cement herself as a genre-spanning music producer in 2020 when she collaborated with French Electronic Producer Yann Dulché to release her first official single “Dilemma”.

Her subsequent release “Toxic Romance” made an immediate impact, followed by two other singles “Mashawear” and “Yalla”. On Feb. 2, 2023, Cosmicat released her EP “Ascension”.
