Markus’ 12 hour set at Tomorrowland may have been challenging, but it was incredibly rewarding and was also his favorite festival that he’s played this year.

“I really have to say having the diehard Schulz Army there from start to finish really was inspiring.”

Lorenzo Alba, Jr. from What’s Up spoke with Markus Schulz before the Sun City Music Festival in El Paso, TX. Read more from the interview here.

Behind the Scenes at Avalon Hollywood with Markus Schulz

Pablo Pereira, from Fox 11 News, sat down with Markus Schulz as he was just finishing up his final stop on the Scream Bus Tour in Los Angeles at Avalon Hollywood.

“I would just get lost listening to Pink Floyd ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ where the tracks are 10, 20 minutes long and they all told a story within a story.”

New World Punx: Markus Schulz & Ferry Corsten are Poised for World Domination by Elite Daily

Elite Daily conducted a video interview with the New World Punx that talks about how they got to where they are and where they’re going.

In this interview, the group discusses how the New World Punx came about, their long-term plans, how the two have mediated and created synergy between their differing sounds, and their focus on fun, spontaneity and excitement when performing live. The duo also discuss how their sound will differ when performing as New World Punx, catering more toward the younger generation of electronic dance music fans when touring under this title.

Watch the video here at Elite Daily.

The happiness and enthusiasm of Markus Schulz and Ferry Corsten is contagious, it’s no surprise the world loves them.

Review of Invite Only Event with Markus Schulz at Ruby Skye

Private party featuring Markus Schulz?  You better believe a member of the Schulz Army was in attendance!  The event was the Wargaming GDC 2013 party celebrating their 15th anniversary, more info about them here http://www.wargaming.net/

The crowd inside of Ruby Skye was pretty big by the time I got in around 10:30 but by 1 am only the hard core fans had not been slayed. As Markus’ set started many people in the crowd didn’t seem to know who he was,  it appeared to be their first introduction to his style of  progressive trance.  There was one guy who had travelled from Miami and missed him at Ultra and Mansion and was extremely happy to see him since he is such a huge fan!

Markus Schulz Ruby Skye 1

Markus played a two hour set with a lot of peak hour tunes and others that he usually plays at festivals.  Staples like Apache, Nothing Without Me and Loops & Tings.  Instead of going down the rabbit hole a rabbit appeared for a brief moment with an appearance of the song The Man with the Red Face.  Excellent saxophone in that classic track.

Markus got on the microphone at the end of his set and closed the night with, “Thank you guys for coming out. An amazing party tonight. You guys were really really great. Thank you guys so much. Thank you for having me and I can’t wait to see you somewhere out there.”

I got to speak to him for a moment (security was aggressive to get people to leave the club so he only got in a few pictures). I told him my tour de Markus had kicked off and he said, “Don’t get bored.”  Getting bored seeing Markus Schulz five times within 10 days is not possible.  I’ll also be at A State of Trance 600 New York, the Pacha after party, Bal en Blanc in Montreal and POP 2013 in Oakland.  If you’ll be at any of those events as well look for the Schulz Army flag at each location and say hi!

Some of you may be asking, how did I get into the event?  Showed up and got lucky enough just asking.
