Markus Schulz, Kristina Sky, and LINNEY

It almost seems a little quaint, in this day and age, to think that a figure in the music industry might be best known for their work in radio, but that’s the case for Markus Schulz, even if it is an internet-based show - Global DJ Broadcast goes out once a week through various online stations. He uses his show as a platform through which to display his lengthy trance mixes, which have marked him out as one of the genre’s finest and most exciting talents. He’s also released six mixes in standalone form, and carved out a reputation as one of the world’s top trance producers, too.

In terms of mainstream crossover, Schulz can offer up a mightily impressive list of artists for whom he’s remixed tracks in the past; Depeche Mode, Madonna, Fatboy Slim, Everything But the Girl and Jewel would all be counted amongst them. In recent years, he’s veered towards live performance in a bigger way than before, playing at some of the world’s top clubs - he’s graced the stage at the likes of Ministry of Sound, Avalon, Club Space and Green Valley - he’s also a regular at a slew of the top dance festivals in Europe, including Love Parade in his native Germany.
