"Markus Schulz’s new artist album screams into its fifth single release with vocal anthem-in-the-making ‘Nothing Without Me', and celebrates Coldharbour Recordings' 150th release in the process. Featuring the reflective, resonant vocals of Swedish songstress Ana Diaz and a 360° remix array (including rewires from Beat Service, Antillas and Markus himself), this release will be lighting club floors through Christmas and beyond.

Putting ‘Nothing Without Me’ into instant high gear is Markus’ own Extended Mix, which gives a fully fleshed out club expansion to his original album version. Amplifying the drama of its snares and symbols, increasing the beauty of the drop’s pads & chords and reaching its crescendo with the immense hard-struck notes of its lead line, it’s a card-carrying floor demolisher. Ana’s lion hearted lyrics and resolute vocals tell it like it is - their topic certain to resonate whichever side of the sex divide you stand! With his Coldharbour Mix Schulz adds in nagging-ly, catchy energized sequences & feisty synth stabs. Drop-side and the Coldharbour Master cools heels, adding in more celestial and cinematic sounds & FX touches.   

Over in the remix quarter things are getting equally thermal. Raising the floor temperature from first bar to last, Estonia’s Beat Service turns in a juggernaut of a mix. Charging it with big room drums and wickedly infectiously pitch-modulated synths, he echoes, pans and chops Diaz’s vocals to furious effect, before setting them loose in the breakdown to maximum impact.

The package’s parting shot comes from Italian maestro Antillas’, whose Club Mix hits all our favourite ‘D’ point highs. Dark, Dirty, Discordant and Driving, the touch-paper is lit with his tough-house beats. He builds the floor tension with angle-grinding FX and a full spectrum of other dubstep-ish tricks to pressure cooker like levels. With the distortion running hot, its Ana’s vocals that deliver the mix’s anthemia, ascending towards a rhapsodic climax.

A mix for most any DJ taste and floor persuasion, ‘Nothing Without Me’ is out now!
 
 
 
Dimitri Kechagias review: The exceptional dj, artist, label owner Markus Schulz presents his brand new massive single Nothing Without Me taken from an album that is considered as must have for any real trance lover out there. Ana Diaz offers the voice and she really stands out with her dynamic and so expressive performance that resonates the sound colour of many Swedish singers that currently give voice to EDM tracks. The big package of remixes will definitely satisfy the fans of wide variety of trance substyles. The extended mix splashes longer the joy we got from the album version. Powerful and straight to its point hands will stay for long in the air. Of course the real jewel in this package belongs to Markus himself who Return to Coldharbour for a massive euphoric pumping version that recalls the classic Return to Coldharbour remixes we really miss and we hope Markus to do more of the same. In my opinion this remix encapsulates the abilities, skills and great personality that Markus is with deepness and euphoria combined in one. Dont even think to miss this beauty. Beat Service is on board as well with his big room make over that pushes the track to the peak time/mainstage moment of your set. Let the manic driving basslines and the pumping beats to carry you away along with the heartfelt melodies and the excellent Ana Diaz voice. Once again Beat Service add his personal stamp and turn what he touches into gold. Last but not least the beloved and trusted Italian masterminds Antillas & Dankann reconstruct, reshuffle, recreate and totally transform the original into a dynamic hybrid of epic prog house/nu rave and epic prog trance as well. The top vocals sound so special upon those thundering driving beats. Wait for the breakdown to arrive and then let yourself go as the two usual suspects reveal an electro 80's pop style main melody. It will land straight to beatport trance top 10 and why not reach the number 1 position too. Love iT!
