He dreams of meeting the world. This dream just might be possible.Currently at 8 on the DJ Mag Top 100 DJ’s Poll and 5 on the TranceAddict.com Top 250 DJ’s Poll, Markushas been travelling the world playing his personal brand of ‘dark, moody, melodic trance’ and meeting asmany people as possible.Over the past three years, Markus has crossed the globe on a constant basis. From Australia to Russia andas far away as China and Trinidad. Along with playing his hometown of Miami. Markus was also found inIbiza at his summer residency at Amnesia; The Two Tribes Tour in Australia and New Zealand;Tomorrowland in Belgium; Mysterland and Trance Energy in The Netherlands; Nature One in Germany;Distant Heat in Jordan as well as clubs and in Kuala Lumpur, Romania, Czech Republic, Mexico, Sweden,Finland, Hungary, Slovakia, UK, Boston, Los Angeles, New York and the list goes on.Global DJ Broadcast, Markus’ weekly radio show, can now be heard on over 30 stations worldwide. Hisvery special ‘Ibiza Summer Sessions’ debuted in the summer of 2006. Wanting to give the listener thefeeling of being part of the Ibiza summer, Markus planned each week with the best guest DJs and hottestmusic from the Balearic Islands. The mission was to bring Ibiza to those who couldn’t be there and add tothe experience of those who were. And it worked. New stations the world over grabbed up the show fortheir audiences. Markus reached out through the airwaves to meet more people and touch their lives.His stunning second artist album, Progression, was a cumulation of these experiences, and offers listenersa slice of his trademark of dark, melodic trance alongside beautiful chilled tracks, guitars, and sublimevocals. Says Markus: “Progression was conceived in the summer, whereas the debut album was done andreleased in winter, so Progression is less dark, and more influenced by sunny days in Miami. ‘Trinidad toMiami’ was actually written while I was flying over the ocean with the sun shining on the water, andencapsulates that feeling of optimism and happiness.”While some artists might find it hectic putting together an album with so much going on, Markus thrives onthe inspiration he finds in his two bases – Miami and Berlin – and gigs everywhere in between. “I can't doone without the other - playing for the crowd makes me excited and gives me ideas for getting into thestudio. When I’m in the studio, I can’t wait to play out what I’m making and seeing people react to it – theprocesses feed off each other.""When I grew up listening to music it had a huge influence on me, and made me who I am, so when I makemy own music I do it with the listener in mind and try and recreate that one on one feeling I’ve always had.It’s something that gets you through hard times, is a soundtrack to good times, and touches you in a uniqueway."2008 kicked off with the release of his fourth compilation for Armada Music, ‘Amsterdam ‘08’, and Markuscouldn’t be happier about its origins – Amsterdam is his spiritual home thanks to the overwhelming passionof the people resident there. “I always choose cities that are dear tome for my annual mix compilation” saysMarkus. “I just love Amsterdam, I feel a real connection there – my friends there are like my family. Thepeople of Holland were one of the first to embrace and accept me and my sound, so it was the naturalchoice to do the 08 mix there.”2008 was set to bring more dates in Australia, as well as Asia and South America. His ‘Progression’ WorldTour was a big success. Markus: “I have been fortunate to meet some truly outstanding fans in theseplaces who have supported me so much over the past few years - knowing that they will be there front andcentre each time I come into town is a cool feeling.”With no plans for slowing down anytime soon, Markus just might meet the world after all.
