Review: Markus Schulz “Golden Gate (San Francisco)”

San Francisco is the third city to be a part of the Markus Schulz’s City Series compilation. “Golden Gate” is the title of the track dedicated to the beautiful city of San Francisco- which holds a rich history of love, progress, and the keys to the future as tech geniuses continues to innovate the world and its technologies.

Following its predecessor “Bine Facut,” “Golden Gate” holds its own with a different and unique sound that is equivalent to “The City” of San Francisco. The track starts off with your classic Markus kick drums to invoke an energy and then it drops you into a soothing melody that lifts you up and down, ride after ride of euphoric feels. Its symmetric pounding basslines accompanied with a relaxing synth provides the right amount of groove for a groovy San Francisco.

As the track vibrates through my ears, I can’t help but picture myself flying down Market St. and up through Chinatown, across North Beach and the historical Fishermen’s Wharf and above the Golden Gate Bridge, then reaching the final destination of our Golden Gate tour, Ruby Skye: a prominent club Markus has spun at many times.

The combination of the house beats blended with elements of trance is of perfect balance. When Markus first debut this track in late March at Ruby Skye, I couldn’t help but be transported through time; relieving my memories of all the past times I’ve been able to witness Markus Schulz live at the iconic venue.
.
If “Bine Facut” translates into ‘well done,’ then “Golden Gate” must translate into ‘love’ …because that is what I feel when I hear his San Francisco tune.

Video: Markus Schulz featuring Delacey “Destiny”

Markus Schulz’s latest track “Destiny” features the beautiful tantalizing vocals of Delacey, ethereal synths plus a pulsating bassline. It was debuted as an ID during Markus’ open to close solo sets in December at Pacha in New York City and on New Year’s Eve at Space Miami. The track was finally revealed during his February 19th episode of Global DJ Broadcast.

“How to describe Destiny? When I first heard Delacey’s vocal, it was as if it was a one-to-one conversation with my soul; it resonated immediately. So the most important thing for me was to build the musical elements that would carry the emotion through to every single person who would hear it. I have been road-testing it since my solo sets in New York and Miami during the Christmas period, and the amount of messages on social media asking me about the identity was overwhelming. I think that it’s going to be one of those special legacy tracks for me; something that connects people of differing countries and boundaries. When I put the track in Global DJ Broadcast for the first time, I still got goosebumps even though I had listened to it over and over for months. So I hope it’s something that the fans will embrace for a very long time.” – Markus Schulz

After the world premiere of the track the response from fans from around the world has been nothing short of overwhelming. This is a track that will quickly be on repeat and you’ll soon find yourself singing along to the haunting vocals that are sung by Delacey.  The storyline of the video follows a guy and a girl who are going about their daily lives. They don’t seem to realize that they’re meant for each other until that moment when destiny strikes. Then they can’t stop thinking about each other. Where do things lead to from there, you’ll just have to see for yourself!

“Destiny” was released on April 6, 2015 and is currently #1 on Beatport Trance Top 100. The full 10 minute track is available here.

“Destiny” by Markus Schulz featuring Delacey – Lyrics

Hello, how did you find me?
Where have you been hiding?
I know, that you remind me
This fire inside me

Feels like we met somewhere before
Saw you, my heart just hit the floor
This time I’m following the signs
This moment could flash before your eyes

So if we just can’t get it right
Then maybe we’ll try in another life
If I died in your arms tonight
Then baby I’ll see you on the other side

So if we just can’t get it right
Then maybe we’ll try in another life
If I died in your arms tonight
Then baby I’ll see you on the other side

So alone, that I’ve been waiting
I’ve been, anxiously patience for
Our love to rule the nations
The future is what we are facing

What if we choose to turn the page?
Will that lead to the end of days?
That’s why you are the missing piece
Theres no way to run from destiny

So if we just can’t get it right
Then maybe we’ll try in another life
If I died in your arms tonight
Then baby I’ll see you on the other side

So if we just can’t get it right
Then maybe we’ll try in another life
If I died in your arms tonight
Then baby I’ll see you on the other side

So if we just can’t get it right
Then maybe we’ll try in another life
If I died in your arms tonight
Then baby I’ll see you on the other side

KhoMha’s track “Hydra” featured in the New Jason Statham Movie ‘Wild Card’

 

KhoMha’s song Hydra is featured in the new Lionsgate film ‘Wild Card‘ starring Jason Statham, Stanley TucciSofia Vergara and Jason Alexander. Here’s a synopsis of the movie:

Nick Wild (Jason Statham) is a Las Vegas bodyguard with lethal professional skills and a personal gambling problem. When a friend is beaten by a sadistic thug, Nick strikes back, only to find out the thug is the son of a powerful mob boss. Suddenly Nick is plunged into the criminal underworld, chased by enforcers and wanted by the mob. Having raised the stakes, Nick has one last play to change his fortunes…and this time, it’s all or nothing.

The track “Hydra” begins dramatically with a build up which sounds like crowd horns from the World Cup, the drums continuously are staccato in doubles and triplets with the keyboards building into a crescendo until it explodes into a silky smooth, velvety pulsing rhythm.  The serene rhythm is interrupted with a boom and the song starts building with a psychedelic phasery rhythm sound and then transitions into the main hook of the song which is a beautiful hammer of triplets on the keyboards which makes you want to start dancing.

The hook fades away into a chill rhythm but not for long as the massive build up begins again which sounds like a jumbo jet screaming down a runway crossed with a wailing bomb siren  and a thudding bass drum.  The build creates more and more tension until a double bass drum fill smacks down and the main hook of the keyboards rises into the song, sounding like the namesake of the song itself–a mythological hydra, screaming and wailing away with sounds of beauty, making you want to jump up and dance as second rising keyboard builds the song to new levels of ecstasy.

KhoMha has taken his playing to yet another level with this track.  This song is definitely worth repeated listening and shows he is becoming a true master.

‘Wild Card’ will be out March 31st and available on Blu-Ray or DVD. Watch the movie now at select theaters or rent online:
