2004 marked the debut of Markus Schulz at #32 on the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs. Markus has been winning over fans with his dark, brooding, melodic productions and DJ sets. He has captured a vibe in trance that was previously only heard in house music.

With his Coldharbour Sessions compilation release in March of 2004, the foundation was laid out for what has been labeled as the next big sound in trance. Dark, thick bass lines, tranquil music box melodies, with frantic energetic percussion and epic strings. His productions have been released throughout the world on some of the most respected labels in the electronic dance music industry: Electronic Elements, Armada, Anjunabeats, Lost Language, Yoshitoshi, Global Underground, Renaissance and Bedrock just to name a few. Markus has had the opportunity to work with artists like Jewel, Oceanlab, Gabriel & Dresden presents Motorcycle, Karada, Telepopmusik, Fat Boy Slim, Miro, Book Of Love, Depeche Mode, Everything But The Girl, Madonna, Blue Amazon, and PQM. Harder, darker, Markus always delivers up a musically sensitive yet moody monster of a mix.

Now Markus comes with his first artist album release. He has worked for a period of 2 years on this project together with respected producers and vocalists all around the world. The album is mainly recorded in Miami, his home town, but Markus also travelled to Antwerp to “Ballymena�? together with Airwave. In San Francisco he did the production with Departure and Grabriel & Dresden for the title song of the album “Without You Near�? and in LA he worked together with Interstate. You can also find some collaborations with vocalists like Anita Kelsey (she sang a.o. “Shed My Skin�?) and Carrie Skipper.

Without You Near has all the ingredients for all dance music fans to get on high rotation in their CD player

Release: 10th October 2005

Bon Apetit

An EXCELLENT CD release by Schulz. He spent a lot of time on this album and it shows. Lots of superb collaborations too.

Ballymena, What a tune.

I'm not a big fan of Markus Schulz, But he has done some pretty good tunes and they're on this album.

I really do like Arial, You Won't See Me Cry 2005, Never Be The Same, and Sorrow Has No Name. That's pretty good stuff.

This album is decent.

if you like "You Wont See Me Cry 2005" then check out the Deepsky remix of the original You Wont See Me Cry. Totally lovely.

+1 - Love that remix of this song.

I just had a listen and overall a very impressive album. Much better than Armins album this year i think.

Will do

Dispite the kinda negative atmosphere in this thread I really like what Markus has brought to us now. Good tracks, steady beats and good melodies. I like the album and it was a lot more then I expected.

Ballymena with Airwave has gotta be me favourite track of this album!

Good stuff

Posted by alieu on Sep-25-2005 10:36:

Looks great!

and my fav track this year is on it (''first time'')

Ok. I've checked it out and compared those two versions of You Won't See Me Cry. Got to say that you're right Rebel9. Deepsky's remix is very good and the break in Deepsky's remix is much better.
