Armin's big downfall is that although he always has amazing records in his bag, yet his programming can be all over the place. I've been to multiple sets of his where he'll play pretty much the same tracks, but the order and timing he plays them makes the huge difference.
When he did his 5+ hour set here in SF in April, his programming was ing awesome....but I honestly don't think he really thinks hard about the programming...he's just such a happy dude and either gets real lucky with his programming or out of control. :)
And with the sound, I was explicitely told to pay attention to the sound by GK/Spundae and report back...and I did, giving it a huge thumbs down...and the immediate reply shown was a little frustration and a then told that it will be taken care ASAP until the the brand spaking new, perm sound system is in place.
Even with the horribly tuned sound, Markus' set was just AH-MAZE-ZING. As I have told a few, I have dozens of GDJB sets and several live club sets by Markus, and his LA set was the best one I've heard to date.
Markus will be able to be brought out here as a major headliner someday if he just keeps it up. I think the key will be his cost vs. his exposure...is he affordable to bring out here as an opener or mid-card for occasions and stuff. I don't believe he can pull in a major crowd as a headliner just yet (his quality is there, no doubt, but it's more of the exposure problem), but if he really wants to make it out here...an area I have been told by many major DJs contains the most critical (aka anal) crowds anywhere in north america, Markus can. I was asked at least 25-30 times by random person who the heck he was and it was always for a good reason...and this was just people asking me, there's no telling how many others were wondering, too. The last person who I saw had a similar response was MarcoV when he played here in SF last Labor Day weekend after 99% of the crowd there had no idea who he was (most people came from BT that night), and the crowd that showed up for him this past memorial day weekend proved that people did not forget about him as he landed an atomic bomb on the roof of Ten15 and had the whole place going nuts until 6am, which was the latest I personally experience Ten15 going until since the scene here started suffering. And I am sure MarcoV could have still continue for a lot longer if he and the security were willing, but the security stopped him as it was a Monday morning. :-p
So yeah, no one has doubts about Markus' crowd pull-in potential, but he just needs to get more exposure. Hopefully he'll travel from the west coast from time to time, either in LA or SF (to work with the likes of G&D???) :-p and maybe tell GK/Spundae he'd like to play for them for a very little fee (or free) if it's by chance good timing and the music style is right for the night.

So true... Armin knows which tracks are killer choons, but yeah I don't think he concentrates as much on programming or manipulating the energy levels of the crowds like other DJs (Ferry is good at this, Lemon8 is great at this). It's like once a DJ goes big he forgot all he learned about crowd control as a warmup DJ. *shrug*
I'm glad that GK/Spundae is being attentive about the sound issue. It was a significant downer for me. I guess it's easier to tune when there's not hundreds of ppl in there to change the acoustics, huh?
The problem with exposure re: Marco V and Markus Schulz is that a significant amount of that in the U.S. comes from CD sales. That's why they're not as popular (but at least Markus has a state-side radio show). |

I think the main reason why Markus isn't getting his much deserved exposure at the moment is because Armin is his boss, he releases 90% of his records, via Armada [Electronic Elements]... so with that factor in play, it'll be hard for Markus to get a headlining position over Armin. And Markus is already a major player all over Europe. He has partaken in multiple headling events, such as, Global Gathering, Armada Night, Godskitchen UK, and much more.

It's called building. Markus is managed by David Lewis, who also manages Armin. (DL has also managed Tiesto & Ferry Corsten in the past, so he knows what he is doing). Markus has had offers to headline all over the world this year, but most have been turned down because DL wants to put Markus in only the right events with the right promoters.
We are only at the begining of what looks to be a great long journey with Markus. |

| Jesus, after Saturday night.....I think LA definitely knows Markus's name!! Wow I’m still amazed on how clean his mixing and track selection was. Markus, keep up the groovy work baby :) |
