Release Date: July 14th 2008

Love You More
Romania's Adrian Ivan has firmly established himself as a Global DJ Broadcast and Coldharbour Recordings star at an incredibly rapid rate. After making his debut on Coldharbour Selections Part 15 with Isolarium, and teaming with B.E.N. for their Superstition / More Manners Please EP, he embarked on solo projects once again, which resulted in a more melodic output.
The result was outstanding. After Markus Schulz played the original on the January 10th edition of Global DJ Broadcast, and seeing how much the listeners and fans immediately fell in love with the track by voting for it as a runaway Global Selection winner, it was inevitable that Shana would find its home on Coldharbour Recordings.
The remix package has also proved to be incredibly successful. Enter brothers Marco and Drik Duderstadt, who put their touch on two seperate remixes, one of which with Afterglow Records' label owner and close friend Plastic Angel. The Duderstadt Progressive Dub Mix is geared very much for the dancefloor, and it has caught the attention of bg room DJs such as Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten. Listeners of Ferry's show, Corsten's Countdown, voted this remix as their number 1 track for June 2008. The Plastic Angel vs. Duderstadt remix is available in both vocal and instrumental versions.
Last but not least, the package is completed by a second track from Mr. Pit himself, Love You More. Produced in similar vein to Shana, it has proved to be just as popular with Markus Schulz, who has played the track regularly on Global DJ Broadcast, and was featured in his live set from Mexico City as part of the GDJB World Tour.
It all shapes up to provide a very strong package, ahead of Coldharbour's milestone of reaching 50 label releases. You can also expect Mr. Pit to feature again on the label in the near future, as he teams up with vocalist Vicky Fee to produce the track Back For More, which will be featured on Markus' new Armada at Ibiza compilation CD.

He promised to deliver his personal best Ibiza season in 2008, and now Markus Schulz has superseded that very same promise.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:

Release Label: Coldharbour Recordings Red
Release Code: COLD006
Release Date: July 7th 2008
Dialogue (Original Mix)
Dialogue (Umek Remix)
Dialogue (Ozgur Can Remix)
Dialogue (Francis Preve Remix)
Coldharbour Recordings Red goes from strength to strength with its sixth release.
Dialogue is the second release from Antwerp's M.I.K.E. under his Deep Flexion alias. His first track, Emotions Of The Night, proved to be one of the sleeper tracks of 2007, picking up lots of recognition from the major DJs. Dialogue looks set to follow suit, with an impressive remix package on offer.
The original is typical of the electro influence you hear on many of the tracks on M.I.K.E.'s latest artist album. A simple yet eerie melody, accompanied by that raw bassline and atmospheric effects proves to be quite a charming combination.
First up on the remixes is a man who many regard as a legend, and is Slovenia's finest techno export, Umek. He takes things up a notch with a powerful driving bassline and high pitched stabs guaranteed to get a groove going on the dancefloor. For many, this will be the preferred choice of the package, due to its excellent dancefloor potential.
Next, we move from Slovenia to Sweden, for a typical quality offering on a minimal tip by Ozgur Can. The eeriness of the original proved to be perfect foil here, as Ozgur delivers his now trademark percussional effects. Last but not least is a new talent from Texas and discovered by Gabriel & Dresden, Francis Preve. He experiments with his remix and lets his own bassline do the talking. The G&D influence is clear for all to hear, and should do well with their former followers.

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.

Lens - Beyond The Shadows (Robert Vadney Remix)
Jonathan Martin - Illuminous
Canyon Boulevard - Kimchi
Another Coldharbour Selections offering, highlighting three of the biggest tracks from Global DJ Broadcast and Markus Schulz's live sets over the past 6 months.
First up is Los Angeles-based Lens, also known as Ken Spector. Beyond The Shadows was originally released on Coldharbour Recordings Red at the beginning of the year. However, it has now been given the remix treatment by talented youngster Robert Vadney, offering a tougher and more purposeful alternative to the original, geared more torwards club sets.
Secondly, we introduce the youngest member on the Coldharbour Recordings roster, 14 year old Jonathan Martin. Illuminous received many plays on both Global DJ Broadcast and A State Of Trance at the tail end of last year, and it looks sure to feature in the sets of many now that the full release has arrived.
Last but not least is one of the most prominent tracks of Markus' live sets, highlighted by its many appearances on the Global DJ Broadcast World Tour sets. Ferry and Jamie, from Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada, team up to form Canyon Boulevard. Kimichi is a tough-electro influenced track that guarantees to get any crowd going. Fans of M.I.K.E. are recommended to check this one out.
