Release Label: Armada Music
Release Code: ARDI894
Release Date: November 10th 2008
Following a successful debut edition, Markus Schulz returns with another 15 personally selected tunes for his November digital compilation.
The Top 15 is loaded with all the biggest tunes on both Global DJ Broadcast and Markus' live sets. Leading the way is Texan outfit Tritonal, teaming up with vocalist Cristina Soto to bring the wonderful Walk With Me, which was been one of the most requested GDJB tunes during the Ibiza Summer Sessions season.
It would have been difficult to find a Markus Schulz liveset this summer that didn't include the pulsating Russia by tyDi, Red Star by Musetta, the updated version of Take Me Away by 4 Strings, or the peak time No More Alone by Giuseppe Ottaviani.
Featuring also are some of the championed GDJB names from over the years, including Duderstadt, Mr. Pit, Funabashi and Andrew Bennett. Andrew's track Heaven Sent, along with Interstate's Remember Me, were chosen to appear on Markus' latest compilation project for Armani Exchange, and as they will be forever remembered as tracks that defined the GDJB era, they make a welcome appearance here as listeners anticipate the end of year GDJB Classics Showcase.
Wrapping up the Top 15 includes names such as Ronski Speed, Stoneface & Terminal, Re-Ward, M.I.K.E. under his Phuture Dust alias and balearic master DJ Shah, under his Sunlounger guise.
The Global DJ Broadcast Top 15 is brimming with quality from start to finish, and everyone is guaranteed to find something that appeals to them.

Since October 1993, the UK's biggest radio station, BBC Radio 1, has invited the world's greatest DJs to showcase their talents in the award winning amd much heralded Essential Mix.
The importance of an appearance on the Essential Mix cannot be understated. For many DJs, it has defined their career. For others, it has been the launchpad to establishing a place in dance music folklore.
On Friday December 5th, the honour will be bestowed upon none other than Markus Schulz.
Naturally, Markus is delighted with the news. "It's a wonderful honor to be asked," says Markus. "For so many fans around the world, they get their first real exposure to dance music through the reputation of the Essential Mix."
"When I visited the Radio 1 studios a few weeks ago to do the show with Judge Jules, you could feel a special atmosphere just by looking at pictures of the DJs who have been there and featured heavily on the EM over the years. It makes me feel nervous, but very excited at the same time."
Markus has appeared on the Essential Mix once before, as part of a live broadcast from the Planetlove Festival in Ireland in 2007. However, this will be the first opportunity for Markus to perforn a studio edition.
So what can we expect from a Markus Schulz Essential Mix? "Well, I can tell you that I already have a brand new remix of my own tucked away until that set. My primary focus over the next few weeks will be working on the Essential Mix. I hope I can be as creative as possible and provide something that the listeners are going to be talking about for some time to come."
Be sure to tune in to BBC Radio 1 on Friday night / Saturday morning, at 10pm Eastern / 3am GMT / 4am Central European Time on December 5th.
The world will be listening.

He promised to deliver his personal best Ibiza season in 2008, and now Markus Schulz has superseded that very same promise. Playing no less than twelve of the Armada Nights at Amnesia in La Isla Blanca this summer, Markus has received unanimous appraisal for his epic performances in the club this far, from fans, colleagues and peers alike.
To embark on Armada’s fourth year of residency on the island, he was asked to undertake one of two mix compilations to showcase the finest of Balearic sounds for this summer. However, the compilation would be tailored to encompass Markus’ vision of trance in Ibiza, where he was presented with the challenge of predicting the biggest movers and shakers on dancefloors for the foreseeable future.
The results have been nothing short of outstanding. Two days after being released on iTunes, the world’s biggest online music store, Armada at Ibiza Summer 2008 – Mixed by Markus Schulz ascended straight to the top of the charts, an incredible achievement.
Markus, currently in Ibiza following another successful residency night at Amnesia, was thrilled on receipt of the news. “I am absolutely delighted,” says Markus. “There is so much competition in the market these days with compilations being released by the world’s biggest DJs, and ultimately you are judged on how you envisage which tracks are going to have the biggest reaction with the fans and the clubbers.”
Markus continued by saying, “What makes this such a proud achievement for me is knowing that so many people out there are sharing my vision of trance music, and how it fits into this special island. Thank you for the support you have given the CD so far!”
This coming Friday, July 11th, Markus moves from one residency to another, as he opens a new chapter by beginning his tenure as resident DJ for The Gallery at the legendary Ministry of Sound in London. “The world tour across the summer is relentless, but when you have the opportunity to play at fantastic clubs like Amnesia and Ministry, and to earn the right to call yourself resident at both venues, I know I wouldn’t want to be doing anything else”.
On this week’s edition of the Global DJ Broadcast, Markus will present some of the brand new tracks which feature on the Armada at Ibiza compilation.
Be sure to tune in on Thursday at 12pm EST / 5pm UK / 6pm CET on http://www.di.fm
Now available on iTunes, alongside the second compilation mixed by DJ Remy, Armada at Ibiza will be available on CD at all good record stores from Monday July 21st. You can purchase and pre-order Armada at Ibiza at any of the links below:

When one considers the music, the DJs and the nightclubs that have shaped dance music's horizon over the past two decades, there are very few brand names that have been there from the outset, and continue to be one of the leading innovators in the scene today. This very sentiment is held true to The Gallery, and to Ministry of Sound. Both names are synonymous with the great heritage of musical movement in London, England.
As a journeyman DJ in search for inspiration, Markus Schulz found himself in the epicentre of London culture at the turn of the millennium. Through attending Gallery nights at now closed club Turnmills and Ministry of Sound events, Markus harnessed his experiences with London's ambiance and environment, and the seeds of the Coldharbour sound were sewn. "The Gallery nights at Turnmills were inspirational to me," says Markus. "I have been so fortunate to attend those nights on both sides - as a clubber and a DJ. I felt so sad after playing there for the last time in February, because I thought it would be difficult for the guys to encompass that atmosphere and transfer it to a different setting."
Today, Markus is now considered as one of the leading ambassadors for trance music worldwide, becoming a consistent trend-setter and refusing to be bound to one particular genre. It is therefore somewhat appropriate that Markus opens a new chapter in his gig commitments, by agreeing to a bi-monthly residency held at the legendary Ministry of Sound, in the city that changed his career, and life, forever.
Markus is extremely excited by the prospect. "I played at Ministry for the first time in May this year and I was completely blown away. The soundsystem there is amazing - one to rival any club around the world I have ever performed. I can't wait to have the opportunity to deliver my sound to such a thriving and dedicated audience who attend The Gallery nights at MOS, on a regular basis".
Founder and owner of The Gallery brand Danny Newman could not be happier with his new appointment. "Having listened to all the feedback I received from his last two appearances for us, combined with being a huge admirer of his sound and Global DJ Broadcast radio show, Markus was a natural choice to become our new resident. I cannot wait for July 11th, because I have no doubt Markus will make it a night that no one will ever forget."
Danny continued by saying, "This is just the beginning. Markus will also be performing at The Gallery Arena for the first time at SouthWestFour this August. He definitely is one to watch!"
Having been open since 1991, the Ministry of Sound venue has earned the right to feature prominently through dance music folklore. For Markus Schulz, he will attempt to write his own chapter in history by doing what he has done best, constantly raising the bar with each performance he brings.
