Markus Schulz has wrapped up his very best tunes that he has played throughout the world's biggest clubs and events from the past twelve months and bunged them all into a very tasty compilation featuring a full live set from Ruby Skye in San Francisco earlier this year...
Every month for the last five years, Markus Schulz has beamed his in-club experiences into living rooms, gyms, offices and car stereos everywhere. Zeroing in on one city, one big event and one dependably up-for-it crowd, he digitally captures it for the monthly Global DJ Broadcast World Tour show. Catching every fader flip, every tweak of the treble, every firing of the FX unit and every resultant reactive cheer, World Tour sets get you as ringside as its possible to get (without stepping on a plane).
As the clubbed-up masses make their way home, the stop button gets hit, the equipment get packed and the set transmitted back to homebase Miami. On the first Thursday of each month, through a 50+ strong global network of stations, the night is brought electrifyingly back to life, giving you the chance to virtual-visit a new club, feel its pulse and tune into its atmosphere.
Now he’s taken this year’s Schulz-defining tunes, recorded live throughout the year’s W.T. dates with the mic levels turned right up, to create ‘World Tour - Best of 2012’.
Musically ‘The Best of World Tour 2012’ breaks through the language barriers and the differing club cultures to unite the sounds of 11 different countries & 16 different cities into its travelogue mix. From the anticipatory shudder of ‘Hollywood Boulevard’ (captured live during the opening minutes of Markus’ 10hr ‘LA’12’ set) to final euphoric upswing of ‘Love Rain Down’, the mix arrives in one EDM capital after another. Omnia’s ‘The Fusion’ (named by Schulz as his track of the year); Jaren’s transcendent turn on ‘Carry On’; Mr. Pit’s ‘It Is What It Is’ & Elevation vs. Grube & Hovsepian’s ‘City of Angels’ shuttle the listener from Miami to Ibiza, from Amsterdam to Kiev, as part of its 20-stop tour. Locking in every accented shout, whoop and roar from around the world, each tune/club mixes seamlessly into the next. The result: one breath-taking, metropolis-by-metropolis, round-the-world ride.
As a bonus Disc 2 features 80 straight minutes of Markus recorded live & peak-time during the recent West Coast leg of his Scream album tour. His first all-night solo set in the city, SanFran’s Ruby Skye is the setting and the mix features 19 tracks of Schulz in full flight. Premiering a new fresh-off-the-desk Dakota track, it also delivers a wealth of the latest material from regular M.S. legions, Rex Mundi, Arnej, Skytech, Aerofoil and others. It also packs the new single ‘Nothing Without Me’ (the landmark 150th release from his Coldharbour label) and also, exclusively, ‘Dejavu’ - the incoming strike from Schulz protégé KhoMha.
