Marcus Schulz vs.....?

Is it me, I could Mr. Schulz take on a lot of the big boys out there and win, easy! Say the trancers like PvD or Ferry (who still have it in them, at times!)
Most of his sets are of more interest thats for sure. His Oceanlab remix is by far the best to.
Agree???
Lets hope we get more of him playing here in the UK. I know his down to play at GK next week.

I like Markus ALOT too but are you kidding me? Putting Markus in the same sentence with Paul or Ferry and saying that he is "easily" better is just a joke. Let Markus produce a classic track or release an album in the class of Out There And Back, then we can start a discusion about this. I mean all he really does is remix everyone elses great tracks (great remixs thO). This is just IMO

he's good, but not at that level

here's one

Markus is a good DJ with a following yes, but he is not in the class of Ferry, PVD, Sasha, Armin, Tiesto and even guys like Eddie Halliwell, Marco V, BK, Tom Harding, Westbam and so many more

Why ? He's not fullen proven himself yet, that can only come in time if he manages to keep people interested for longer periods of time and if he innovates his sound & moves with the times, again that only comes with years of experience, which he doesn't have on the level of so many yet, as he is relatively unknown outside the internet & florida.

If he makes it is totally upto him and the dedication shown, but it's too early to compare him to anyone like that, he's not in the top 100 DJs yet for a reason, and he has to overcome that

Well, Shulz only compilation produced as of yet is American DJ 4:Phoenix which didnt really get noticed that much. His upcomming CD will probably be very good. I think its only production thats keeping him off being in the "Standards" of all the Djs mentioned above because in the decks, schulz is not to be underestimated. Hes got a nice track selection and flawless mixing which can compete with the high end mixologists. Its jsut a matter of time before he gets noticed, i think this year will be a very good one for him

I'd see marcus over PvD or Ferry in a second

Posted by mndeg on Feb-19-2004 04:40:

is mixologist really an occupation?
like if i was filling out a form it said occupation i would write: mixologist

Posted by Freeza on Feb-19-2004 05:09:

I think Markus Schulz vs. Jon O'Bir would be something great to hear/see.

Don't see him going up against PvD or Ferry...IMO

Same here!
All of you are talking about Markus like he's some flash-in-the-pan DJ. You forget that he's been around a lot longer than the hype in late 2003 makes it seem. Ever heard of "You Wont See Me Cry"? That's a fuckin classic...
True, he hasn't been around as long as some of the trance grandaddies, but he definatley has staying power. You guys would've probably been saying the same thing about PvD back in 1994 as you are saying about Markus now. "well, PvD is ok...but he's no Frankie Knucles!"
Every DJ has a timeframe in which the operate, Markus is just earlier along in his than PvD or Tiesto, who in my opinion only have a few good years left in them at the most.

for me
markus beats out pvd and ferry easy

production wise and djing

the man has 20 years studio experience and countless in deejaying

the statement you made really just comes down to personal taste
as is mine above

I am a huge fan of Schulz's, and Im thankful as hell that his kind of groundbreaking work is becoming more and more popular. This scene needs producers like Schulz to free us from repeating the same style over and over - something trance is notorious for.

However, comparing Schulz with the big boys like Ferry and PvD really isnt fair. Although he does have a lot of studio and production experience, he has only been relatively popular in recent months. PvD and Ferry have been on top for years, and thats not by having 1 or 2 hits, thats by constantly evolving with the scene, touring 24/7, and working your ass off.

Personally, I think Schulz is more creative and has a much more innovative production style than PvD and Ferry, but he needs to keep it up and for a long time to be truly comparable to the world's top DJs.

Best of luck to Markus definitely. When the hell is he coming to Toronto! (Ferry is here March 13 )

He's too soft imo.
All hat semi trance / chill stuff

Have to agree with beema, Markus has been around a lot longer than his hype has. As Edge Factor he has been doing progressive trance since the mid 90s with CL McSpadden, and like already mentioned, You Won't See Me Cry has also been doing the rounds. I think he has been doing GBDJ for quite some time too. It's only recently that his popularity has skyrocketed. As for whether he could take on PvD, Ferry etc., that's just a matter of taste as usual.

The problem is, you go ask many non-internet clubbers who he is and you wouldn't get as many answers, esp from Europeans, Australians etc, which was why I said he'd got to prove him self on a whole new level to be spoken in the same sentance as the 'big' names. I'm sure he can even tho the music isn't to my taste, but again he's got to become a household name to be considered 'a great' good luck to him on it too, he's a nice guy & heather is cool too, so we'll see if he has it in him if he manages to spread out more

Anyhow, personally I find his stuff pretty boring to be honest, it just lacks something. For me, he'll never compare to people like Ferry, but it really does come down to personal taste in the end. One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Posted by Mr.Mystery on Feb-19-2004 12:20:

His music could be compared to a sleeping pill.

Posted by digitaldreams on Feb-19-2004 13:56:

I've never really enjoyed Markus' work. The remixes of Jewel etc. To be a great such as Ferry,AVB, PVD, gotta get out and play the big parties. I m not saying Markus' work isn't great, just not my flavor.
