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.

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!

KhoMha Remix of Storm Chaser Now Available, Named After EDC 2012 Wind Storm

The wind storm that shut down Electric Daisy Carnival 2012 brings back memories for Markus Schulz fans because the festival was shut down during his set. Markus Schulz has some unfinished business and now KhoMha is attached to the topic with a remix of Storm Chaser by Cosmic Gate that was named after the wind storm.

You’ve heard this track before but today you’ve learned where the name came from if you didn’t already know. The track is available for purchase today, May 13, 2013 exclusively on Beatport.

Purchase here on Beatport.

Here’s KhoMha’s remix first followed by the Cosmic Gate original and other remixes by Artento Divini and Mark Eteson

10 Things We Learned During the April 4 Global DJ Broadcast Chat

Another trance Thursday on April 4 is in the books and the Global DJ Broadcast World Tour featured was from The Terrace at Space in Miami during Winter Music Conference week. Markus was online chatting with the army and while eavesdropping we learned these 10 things:

1) The 2013 city compilation will be coming in mid-June. The city is still top secret but he will be mixing it when the Scream Bus Tour ends next month. There’s also the possibility of a new Dakota track for the compilation. He was asked about a new album but a new track will have to be acceptable.

2) As just about any musician would say after getting the chance to playing at Madison Square Garden, “It’s up there among accomplishments in my career.”

3) The SchulzArmy and trance family is massive and Markus hopes to return to Mexico this summer.

4) Serato is for time code, not mixing. Someone asked what was on his laptop in the picture and the answer was Serato. The follow up to that was, “I should stress that I’m not using Serato for DJing and mixing. I use it to send timecode to front of house so that when I am playing vocal tracks off my album, the visuals can get synced to the audio.”

5) We need teleporters! If Markus had a teleporter he’d be at Pop2013 in Oakland and A State of Trance 600 Den Bosch but as he said, “Just unfortunate they haven’t invented the teleporter where I could do Den Bosch and Oakland on the same night.” Oakland you win!

6) Ferry and Markus mesh well together, they aren’t competing. During the previous weeks broadcast that featured a 30 minute guest mix from Ferry Corsten there was a lot of criticism of Ferry. Markus addressed that writing, “I did have a read through all the comments last Friday morning. To be honest the way I look at it is that I have my own style and Ferry has his, but there are parts of it that overlap and mesh together. The thing I want to stress is that both Ferry and I will continue to be solo artists, and the NWP project will only be a small percentage of what either of us do in a year. But it’s fun when we do it together.”

7) Romper is taking over dance floors. “My heart was going a million miles a minute when we started with this on Saturday. 18. New World Punx – Romper”

8) Right now the all time undisputable rabbit hole track is ‘Nothing Matters’ by Mark Knight. He said all time would probably have to be Daft Punk – ‘Alive,’ ‘Be Yourself’ or ‘Plastic Dreams.’ Here’s a glimpse of ‘Nothing Matters’ from Toronto in September 2012.

9) EDC Vegas 2013 is close! Electric Daisy Carnival 2012 was shut down early on the second night due to high winds and it ended just as Markus was playing Loops & Tings. During the broadcast I had asked that he open his set with it to pick up where he left off and the reply was, “yeah EDC Vegas and I have unfinished business this year.” Sounds like there’s a great chance he’ll be in Vegas for Electric Daisy Carnival yet again.

10) Give vocalists the credit! A question was asked about the inspiration for lyrics, like ‘Nothing Without Me’ and ‘Caught.’ Markus replied stating, “To be honest I can’t take the credit for writing the lyrics to either of us, the respective vocalists are the ones to credit there.”
