Three years ago almost to the day, I was introduced to the world of electronic dance music. At first, I didnt understand the whole fuss with trance and house. I could not comprehend how these electronically synthesized beats could elicte such a response in a crowd. After three years, i realized dance music cannot be understood in one's head but rather in one's heart and soul.
I recall the first time I saw Markus spin was at Club Maze on December 6, 2002. He opened for ARmin. In fact I was the first one to arrive (as always) and Heather was outside waiting to get in as well. WE did not know each other then but we did talk for a few minutes. The room may have been empty that nite but Markus and ARmin played as if it was a packed house at space. It was the first nite that i truly felt dance music and the love and energy that armin and markus brought to the table.
Since that nite armin has and still is my favorite global dj and markus became a local hero to me.
The second time that a Markus set took me aback was at ARturo's birthday at Space. I was allowed to hang out in the booth and watch Markus perform his mastery upon the decks. It was a nite I will never forget. I met many great people that nite including, Katie, and tons of other TA's. Notable mention also goes to his incredible high energy set at Mansion for WMC !!!
The third and final favorite Markus moment came this week at MIA

I arrived very early because I came directly from work. So i walked around for a bit after struggling to find parking which was horrific by the way. Around 830 i meet beatfreak from TA (orlando TA) and we go in to eat. food was great i Had lasagna.
after we paid our bill markus shows up comes up to me and invites us all upstairs to join him. What a great honor. so we go upstairs and we put together a giant table.
Natalia is upstairs as well along with almost everyone I named previously. So we are there talkin about markus's previous residencies in arizona and his little excursion on the north sea with Armin last year. as they spun on the cruise ship (amazing story) . Then we take some pics and i sit and talk to Edgar for a bit
Markus's set
Great set. Notable tracks that i loved
1. burned with desire (my fav track at the moment)
2. Oceanlab-Satellite (so amazing how everyone was singing it word for word... it gave me chills)
3. Elevation-Somewhere (clear blue)
At this point, I meet sleepfrieq from the board who introduces me to thomas Penton. We talk for awhile and thomas gives me a cd. I also got to meet Austin Leeds. I got a pic with both thanks to damon (thanks again)
I must also point out that the women at this place were absolutely smoking hot.
It was great to see Jimmy Buffet in the house as well
So at the end of the evening, I go to pick up the markus cd and markus signs my cd first which was such an honor. he signed it "TO Bling The first cd i sign is for you. markus schulz" I swear when i left i got all choked up. how cool is that
Three years ago when i first started listeing to dance music i never thought i would be in this position today. Eating dinner with Edgar and Markus, considering them friends of mine. I have to thank CP, TA and CJ for allowing us to use these forums as a way to thank and show our support for the djs we love.
It truly was a memorable nite. and one I will never forget
Congratulations Markus
