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 DJβs Poll and 5th on the TranceAddict.com Top 250 DJβs Poll, Markus has been travelling the world playing his personal brand of βdark, moody, melodic tranceβ 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, Markusβ weekly radio show, can now be heard on over 30 stations worldwide. His very special βIbiza Summer Sessionsβ 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 couldnβt 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: βProgression 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. βTrinidad to Miamiβ 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.β
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 β Miami and Berlin β and gigs everywhere in between. βI can't do one without the other - playing for the crowd makes me excited and gives me ideas for getting into the studio. When Iβm in the studio, I canβt wait to play out what Iβm making and seeing people react to it β 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 Iβve always had. Itβs 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, βAmsterdam β08β, and Markus couldnβt be happier about its origins β Amsterdam is his spiritual home thanks to the overwhelming passion of the people resident there. βI always choose cities that are dear tome for my annual mix compilationβ says Markus. βI just love Amsterdam, I feel a real connection there β 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.β
2008 was set to bring more dates in Australia, as well as Asia and South America. His βProgressionβ World Tour was a big success. Markus: βI 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.β
With no plans for slowing down anytime soon, Markus just might meet the world after all.

'Cause your perfect
The way that you are
Perfect
Like the moon in the stars

Even knows when it's time to surrender
'Cause your perfect
'Cause your perfect
The way that you are

Perfect
Like the moon in the stars
And the sun in the sky, getting higher
Even knows when it's time to surrender
'Cause your perfect
Perfect
And the sun in the sky, getting higher
Even knows when it's time to surrender
The lyrics of Markus Schulz's song Perfect convey a message of acceptance and admiration for someone who is viewed as flawless, despite their imperfections. The repeated phrase "Cause your perfect" emphasizes the sentiment that the person being addressed is perfectly imperfect, and their flaws contribute to their overall perfection. The comparison to celestial bodies such as the moon and sun adds to the idea that the person is otherworldly and beyond human flaws.

'Cause your perfect
You are perfect just the way you are
The way that you are
Your natural self is flawless
Perfect
Your essence is impeccable
Like the moon in the stars
You shine brightly amidst a vast universe

You constantly rise to new heights
Even knows when it's time to surrender
You know when it's time to let go and move on
