Markus Schulz is a man on a mission. He dreams of meeting the world. This dream just might be possible. Currently number 8 on the DJ Mag Top 100 DJโs Poll and 5th on the TranceAddict.com Top 250 DJโs Poll, Markus has been travelling the world playing his personal brand of โdark, moody, melodic tranceโ and meeting as many people as possible.
Over the past three years, Markus has crossed the globe on an almost constant basis. From Australia to Russia and as far away as China and Trinidad. Along with playing his hometown of Miami. Markus was also found in Ibiza at his summer residency at Amnesia; The Two Tribes Tour in Australia and New Zealand; Tomorrowland in Belgium; Mysterland and Trance Energy in The Netherlands; Nature One in Germany; Distant Heat in Jordan as well as clubs and in Kuala Lumpur, Romania, Czech Republic, Mexico, Sweden, Finland, Hungary, Slovakia, UK, Boston, Los Angeles, New York and the list goes on.
Global DJ Broadcast, Markusโ weekly radio show, can now be heard on over 30 stations worldwide. His very special โIbiza Summer Sessionsโ debuted in the summer of 2006. Wanting to give the listener the feeling of being part of the Ibiza summer, Markus planned each week with the best guest DJs and hottest music from the Balearic Islands. The mission was to bring Ibiza to those who couldnโt be there and add to the experience of those who were. And it worked. New stations the world over grabbed up the show for their audiences. Markus reached out through the airwaves to meet more people and touch their lives.
His stunning second artist album, Progression, was a cumulation of these experiences, and offers listeners a slice of his trademark of dark, melodic trance alongside beautiful chilled tracks, guitars, and sublime vocals. Says Markus: โProgression was conceived in the summer, whereas the debut album was done and released in winter, so Progression is less dark, and more influenced by sunny days in Miami. โTrinidad to Miamiโ was actually written while I was flying over the ocean with the sun shining on the water, and encapsulates that feeling of optimism and happiness.โ
While some artists might find it hectic putting together an album with so much going on, Markus thrives on the inspiration he finds in his two bases โ Miami and Berlin โ and gigs everywhere in between. โI can't do one without the other - playing for the crowd makes me excited and gives me ideas for getting into the studio. When Iโm in the studio, I canโt wait to play out what Iโm making and seeing people react to it โ the processes feed off each other."
"When I grew up listening to music it had a huge influence on me, and made me who I am, so when I make my own music I do it with the listener in mind and try and recreate that one on one feeling Iโve always had. Itโs something that gets you through hard times, is a soundtrack to good times, and touches you in a unique way."
2008 kicked off with the release of his fourth compilation for Armada Music, โAmsterdam โ08โ, and Markus couldnโt be happier about its origins โ Amsterdam is his spiritual home thanks to the overwhelming passion of the people resident there. โI always choose cities that are dear tome for my annual mix compilationโ says Markus. โI just love Amsterdam, I feel a real connection there โ my friends there are like my family. The people of Holland were one of the first to embrace and accept me and my sound, so it was the natural choice to do the 08 mix there.โ
2008 was set to bring more dates in Australia, as well as Asia and South America. His โProgressionโ World Tour was a big success. Markus: โI have been fortunate to meet some truly outstanding fans in these places who have supported me so much over the past few years - knowing that they will be there front and centre each time I come into town is a cool feeling.โ
With no plans for slowing down anytime soon, Markus just might meet the world after all.

Oh, listen to a maiden's prayer
For thou canst hear amid the wild
'Tis thou, 'tis thou canst save amid, despair
We slumber safely till the morrow
Though we've by man outcast reviled
Oh maiden, see a maiden's sorrow
Oh mother, hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria gratia plena
Maria gratia plena
Maria gratia plena
Ave ave
Maria
Ave Maria, undefiled
The flinty couch we now must share
Shall seem this down of eider piled
If thy protection hover there
The murky cavern's heavy air
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled
Oh, maiden, hear a maiden's prayer
Oh, Mother, hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria

Ave Maria, maiden mild
Greetings Mary, you who are gentle and humble
Oh, listen to a maiden's prayer
Hear the prayer of a young woman
For thou canst hear amid the wild
You can hear even in the midst of chaos and confusion

Only you can save us from despair

We sleep soundly until the morning
Though we've by man outcast reviled
Even though we are rejected and despised by others

Young woman, recognize the pain of another young woman
Oh mother, hear a suppliant child
Mother, listen to the prayer of a pleading child

@mc2engineeringprof
Beautiful. Love and unity and peace and respect, obviously, go together in but one genre so perfectly. When done by two maestros as in this track, I'll even add one more: "hope".
๐ค๐ค To you both!
