Review: Markus Schulz and Fisherman & Hawkins “Gotham Serenade”

Anyone that happens to be a fan of Markus Schulz is certainly familiar with his city series concept in which he would dedicate an album to the city that impressed him the most over the year. In 2015 he decided to take things to the next level by constructing a track for each city that left its mark on him. It started with “Bayfront (Miami)” and followed with “Bine Facut (Bucharest)” together with Tom Boxer, “Golden Gate (San Francisco)”, “This Generation (Indio)”, “Bombay (Mumbai)”, “Lost in the Box (London)”, “Daybreak” (Boom)”, “Avalon (Los Angeles)”, “Cathedral (Montreal)”, “Dancing in the Red Light (Amsterdam)” and “The Creation (Prague)” along with Nifra.

It all ends with the final chapter of this endeavor which is dedicated to the grand city of New York. He is not alone in this creation and has enlisted Dutch hyper duo Fisherman and Hawkins who have also produced heavyweight anthems of their own over the past years. We embark on a tough and aggressive stroll through the bustling and crowd filled streets of New York. Markus and the guys are masters at serenading us with a distinguished variety of high-powered vibes and emotional, vibrant soundscapes that perfectly represent the city that never sleeps. Haunting melodies, anthemic leads and darkness seeping in through every inch of this are to be expected. Majestic, regal and cutting edge like the metropolis itself there is no stopping the tendency to move. Every muscle in our body urges us to get up and sway to the beat while feeling the rush of this vibrant, living breathing city.

About Kostas Voulgaris

He began collecting CDs and discovering who his favorite artists were along the way. Some years later he began his own radio show entitled ‘Hidden Sun with DJ DragoN’ on Greece’s ‘Lightwave Radio’ and a few years later on ‘Generate Project’. Currently his radio show is frequently aired on France’s radio station ‘The Dome’. His love for dance music and the artists behind it led him to start writing articles about them for Generate Project (a music blog as well as 24/7 radio station) and had the honor of taking written interviews of esteemed artists of the scene such as Klauss Goulart, Jan Johnston, Khaz, Thomas Datt, Suzy Solar and more. He also reviewed EPs and singles of artists such as Daniel Lesden. In 2015 he decided to take things further and started his own blog called MusicTalk where he was blessed to have the opportunity of taking a written interview with singer/songwriter Jaren and wrote reviews for Daniel Lesden and Cosmithex.
