New Release: Memory Lane by Grube & Hovsepian featuring Vice

The most recent release out of Southern Florida today is “Memory Lane” featuring Vice by Grube & Hovsepian on Audio Cargo Recordings. Audio Cargo Recordings is is the first record label from The Schulz Music Group. In the press release about Audio Cargo they state, “The Schulz Music Group is proud to announce the lift-off of their first record label. SMG’s new imprint will afford the artist collective – as well as other vocalists and producers, a dedicated radio-angled music release platform.”

Tim Grube and Mike Hovsepian partnered with vocalist Vice to produce Memory Lane and it’s a track that Schulz Army members have likely heard before on Grube & Hovsepian Radio or an episode of Global DJ Broadcast. The original version of the track starts with a great beat as the vocals begin and progresses into more of a bouncy sound as you sing along “I’m walking down, I’m walking down memory lane.” The catchy and repetitive vocals are what make this track angled towards getting played on a radio station.

Depending on your tastes in music the real magic could be in the remixes which there are three of. Skytech delivers the beat that would fit perfect during a peak time set with some great energy as it builds up to the vocals that will have a spot in our memories when heard from the dance floor. That Skytech remix is what most have probably heard before end enjoyed. Elevation has two variations with a remix and a dub mix. The dub mix takes all of the vocals out of the track if that’s what you’re looking for and the remix focuses more on the vocals early on in the track before progressing into the beat behind it.

There’s probably a purist out there who’ll cringe reading “radio-angled music release platform” but we all need to admit that it’s a massive market for music and a great gateway towards those late night sets many of us enjoy. Do not be alarmed when you hear one of these tracks on your local radio station, it’s a great sign for dance music to have found a way into those playlists. Audio Cargo Recordings will certainly open up a new path for Schulz Music Group vocalists and producers to reach a new audience and expand their range of recordings.

The track will be available on Beatport and iTunes.

KhoMha Added to Electric Zoo Main Stage Day 3 Lineup

It looks as if Markus Schulz is mentoring KhoMha all too well. Electric Zoo has announced phase three of their lineup and KhoMha will be playing the main stage on Sunday September 1st. Where is Markus Schulz playing? The Hilltop Arena.

Every DJ has their place on the lineup and the time slot Markus will likely play vs KhoMha is fitting. This is great news for KhoMha to win over a main stage audience that may not be too familiar with him but will likely win them over afterwards.

New World Punx Return to Tao Beach on June 23

The pool party events for EDC Week 2013 are set for the most part and this is one that the Schulz Army has been waiting for, Markus Schulz & Ferry Corsten return to Tao Beach on June 23, 2013 for a repeat performance from EDC Week 2012. The duo performed at Tao Beach last year and played for over six hours! The Tao Beach event was the first gig for New World Punx even if they weren’t called that at the time.

Tao Beach is one of the smaller pool party venues in Las Vegas where you’ll be a part of the party wherever you are. The best way to classify it is a small intimate venue so you’ll want to make sure to get there early to get a good spot near the DJ booth. Expect a set with a variety of tunes that’ll fill the atmosphere of a pool party. It’ll be upbeat to keep the crowd moving after a long weekend and also energetic to get us all ready for night three of Electric Daisy Carnival!

Attending a pool party isn’t for the faint of heart, especially on a Sunday. You’ll be hot and tired from two nights at the festival along with whatever else you’ve been doing while in Las Vegas. I’ve written this guide to pool parties that is worth checking out.

Purchase Tickets Here.

Tickets starting at $20 for the ladies and $50 for guys.

New World Punx June 23 Ferry Corsten Markus Schulz

This adds to the long list of pool parties on the Sunday of EDC Week 2013, check out the full calendar here.

Three and a half hours of the set is available here thanks to Ferry Corsten:

Finish Line featuring Elevation was still an ID at the time of the pool party in 2012!

Prepare to slay some unicorns in the day light!

Markus Schulz Welcomed Paris Hilton and now Justin Bieber

This will certainly get a lot of the internet outraged. Markus Schulz sent out the Tweet below shortly after 1:00AM on Saturday night welcoming Justin Bieber to the trance family. Wait, what? You read that right, invited the kid to the trance family! Good, welcome aboard Justin.

It was also just a joke and the internet erupted like you would expect it to have! Markus is not making a new track with Justin Bieber.

This isn’t the first time that Markus has sent the internet into a tail spin. In 2011 he also welcomed Paris Hilton with the following tweet (couldn’t find a screen capture but this is real):

Amazing party @SpaceIbiza. Highlight was seeing @parishilton jamming out. She is learning quickly what’s up! Welcome to the #trancefamily

The internet was outraged. The internet often needs to relax.

Tonight he sent out the following:

Markus Schulz Welcomes Justin Bieber

Please take a deep breath if your blood pressure just shot through the roof, it’s no big deal! Markus Schulz isn’t going to let any of these pop stars or attention craving celebrities change the way that he makes music. Invite everyone to the party to enjoy the trance music the world loves!

Dig deep into the archives of what Markus Schulz has remixed and you’ll notice he has a long history of working with pop stars a long time ago and here it is in 2013 and he’s still sending ravers down the rabbit hole and slaying unicorns without sacrificing any part of his soul.

Did you know that Markus Schulz is a partner in a new club that is opening in South Florida? Probably not because it was real news and positive news and that doesn’t generate as much hype. Read that story here.

Markus Schulz Partners Up to Open New Fate Nightclub

South Florida has a new hotspot that will go Down the Rabbit Hole into the mornings with Markus Schulz as a partner along with Ramzi Naber and Joe Franco. Fate Nightclub had a soft opening last night where Grube & Hovsepian dropped a surprise set that wasn’t so much a surprise after they made a mention of it on their Twitter account. Markus Schulz also surprised the crowd when he got behind the decks and kicked things off with an opening set. Markus and the rest of the Coldharbour team were all present on Friday night to celebrate the opening that started at 9 pm and went until 5 am. The club was granted a license to stay open until 6 am seven days a week, so you can expect that sets will likely go until the sun rises.

That’s right, Markus Schulz has a club in South Florida and where on Saturday nights the tag line is Down the Rabbit Hole. The Schulz Army has a new travel destination! How often he’ll be playing there or how often other Coldharbour talent will be present is still unknown but we all know these guys are experts at the dance club scene so they are a perfect fit.

We’ve heard that there is a possible grand opening event scheduled in late June or mid July and we’ll be continuing to lead with breaking news as we find out more details.

Here’s some more information announcing the club:

Fate Nightclub is Gulfstream’s only nightclub. High-energy, electronic music is the focus of this late night dance club. Doors open  at 5 p.m. serving Sushi crafted by Executive Chef Julius-John Siguenza until 1 a.m. Well programmed lights and sounds of EDM from resident DJs and a showcase of South Florida’s hottest DJs and International guests.
