-------------------

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.

Who says it's too late
Who said that it's too late to relive the past

It's too late, oh
But I refuse to believe that it's too late

I wanna replay each frame
I want to go back and replay every moment of this night

Each frame, oh
Every moment is precious and I don't want to miss any of it

If there's one time I could live in
If I had the chance to relive a moment, this would be it

I would go back to the beginning
I want to go back to the start of the night

Of this night, forever in it
And stay in this moment forever

And never let this go
I don't want to let go of this perfect moment

Let's rewind
Let's go back to where everything was perfect

Just tonight
Just for tonight

Let's reload
Let's start over and do it all again

This never get's old, oh
This moment will never get old or lose its magic

Close your eyes
Let's shut out the outside world

And I'll close mine
And just focus on this perfect moment together

Breath the air and just forget about time
Let's take in the moment and forget about everything else

I don't wanna leave
I don't want this moment to end

I just wanna live
I just want to keep experiencing this moment

Maybe we could go back to where we’ve always been
Maybe we can go back to our happy place

And what we always did
And do the things we always loved doing together

Is what we gonna do
That's exactly what we're going to do

Oh, I just want to, oh I just want to
I want this moment to last forever

It's too good for goodbye's
This moment is too good to say goodbye to

Put your goodbye on hold
Let's not end this moment just yet

'Cause one day I'll miss you
Because one day we will look back and miss moments like this

I'll miss you, like home
I'll miss this perfect moment just like I would miss home

Let's rewind
So let's stay in this moment and enjoy it as long as possible
