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 DJ’s Poll and 5th on the TranceAddict.com Top 250 DJ’s Poll, Markus has been travelling the world playing his personal brand of ‘dark, moody, melodic trance’ 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, Markus’ weekly radio show, can now be heard on over 30 stations worldwide. His very special ‘Ibiza Summer Sessions’ 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 couldn’t 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: “Progression 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. ‘Trinidad to Miami’ 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.”
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 – Miami and Berlin – and gigs everywhere in between. “I can't do one without the other - playing for the crowd makes me excited and gives me ideas for getting into the studio. When I’m in the studio, I can’t wait to play out what I’m making and seeing people react to it – 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 I’ve always had. It’s 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, ‘Amsterdam ‘08’, and Markus couldn’t be happier about its origins – Amsterdam is his spiritual home thanks to the overwhelming passion of the people resident there. “I always choose cities that are dear tome for my annual mix compilation” says Markus. “I just love Amsterdam, I feel a real connection there – 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.”
2008 was set to bring more dates in Australia, as well as Asia and South America. His ‘Progression’ World Tour was a big success. Markus: “I 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.”
With no plans for slowing down anytime soon, Markus just might meet the world after all.
Symphony of Stars
Markus Schulz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And how do you have this hold on me?
When you pull me closer
I fall away at the seams
Wings on your shoulders, an angel to me
What lights you up so perfectly?
From dusk 'til dawn through the storm
Before the calm i'm in your arms
A symphony of stars light up
And when our bodies touch in the night
And if the party gets too much
They won't see us for dust, you and I
A symphony of stars a symphony of stars
A symphony of stars a symphony of stars
Our fate in our hands our hearts are tied
I bask in the scent, we own the sky
When you pull me closer
I fall away at the seams
Wings on your shoulders, an angel to me
What lights you up so perfectly?
From dusk 'til dawn through the storm
Before the calm i'm in your arms
A symphony of stars light up
And when our bodies touch in the night
And if the party gets too much
They won't see us for dust, you and I
A symphony of stars a symphony of stars
A symphony of stars a symphony of stars
We're alive, we're alive, we're alive
We're alive, we're alive, we're alive
We're alive, we're alive, we're alive
We're alive, we're alive, we're alive
The opening lines of the song talk about how the subject of the song, presumably a lover, has a hold on the singer that they can't explain. The singer wonders what it is about the other person that "lights them up so perfectly" and makes them so irresistible. Even when the other person pulls the singer closer, they feel like they're falling apart at the seams, perhaps overwhelmed by this intense attraction. However, at the same time, the singer sees the person as an angel, with "wings on their shoulders."

A symphony of stars light up
And when our bodies touch in the night
And if the party gets too much
They won't see us for dust, you and I

A symphony of stars a symphony of stars
Together, we create a dazzling display, like a symphony of stars. And when we come together in the darkness, our love shines bright and pure. Should the party around us become overwhelming, we'll escape unnoticed, choosing instead to revel in each other's company.
Our fate in our hands our hearts are tied
I bask in the scent, we own the sky
We hold our destiny in our hands, with our hearts intertwined. I'm enamored by your scent, and we feel like we own the sky together.
We're alive, we're alive, we're alive
We're here, we're present, and we're making the most of every moment together.

the voice of an angel.... maybe one day she will realize
@evelynbonganay7177
I love Christina Novelli perfect with Markus Schulz
@micklokomotion2447
It is good to know that in these times for these songs you do not need clubs, mansions or luxuries to make videos... Only a beautiful landscape and end point. And this video shows it.
@Napp28
I agree with you 100%! Nothing is more irritating than when song artists create music videos that are loaded with material goods which, most of their fans simply cannot afford. Jennifer Lopez is notorious for this sort of thing.
Love this song and video!
@micklokomotion2447
@Christopher Lucki Truly as you explain, Markus Schulz and Christina Novelli give the example of the real music videos, Greetings from Mexico :D
@Spazik86
I do not think Santorini is cheap location though... :) But yea, I know what you mean.
@richardikin
It also helps when you have musicians of this quality.
@sitizalina2726
@Richard Ikin actually this kind of music video is better. It actually match with the song. Some songs especially big room never match
