Capital Cities - Safe and Sound (Markus Schulz vs. Grube & Hovsepian Remix) is the first release from Markus Schulz since his fifth artist album 'Scream 2' that came out earlier this year on Armada. The trance-led remix battle between trance-legend Markus Schulz and the formidable EDM duo Grube & Hovsepian makes for a huge and significant club anthem of the indie-pop record. ‘Safe and Sound’ comes out on the 22nd April on Capitol Records.
Debuted on New Years Eve at POPNYE and since played out at huge events including A State of Trance, Ultra Music Festival and Transmission, 'Safe and Sound' captivates the crowd like no other. The track resonates itself in a pure cause to celebrate and has even served as the background music to several engagements at Markus’ shows!
Markus launched 2014 with Scream 2, the17-track follow up to the extremely successful album Scream. Since the 2012 release of Scream, Markus’ schedule has been relentless and his return with Scream 2 saw him push boundaries and pour heart and soul into the album that is simply massive. His relentless touring and commitment to spending time in the studio to make music for his fans have together gained him sincere respect across the clubland and secured his place as one of the biggest DJ’s in the world.
Markus’ performances during Miami’s Winter Music Conference saw him play host to the world’s electronic family as he played a special 10 hour open to close solo set at his home of Club Space and rounded off the week with good friend Ferry Corsten as New World Punx as they performed at Ultra Music Festival.
Catch Markus as he embarks on the USA bus tour as he cruises from Bloomington through to Atlantic City before crossing the pond to play dates across Europe at some of the best festivals and clubbing venues around as Markus Schulz and as New World Punx.
Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the biggest electro pop hits of the last year received the magical remix treatment by the superstar dj & label owner Markus Schulz vs. the hot duo Grube & Hovsepian. Safe & Sound by Capital Cities now is transformed into that very special big room club smasher that will blow out of proportions this summer. Markus along with Grube & Hovsepian add the dark pumping hard drums, the rough energetic throbbing slamming basslines and the haunting strings. The breakdown is the moment that the well known vocal with the uplifting lyrics comes in and will bring shivers straight away from head to toe. Cinematic strings and euphoric synths along with marching drums follow the rhythm of our heartbeat and build the anticipation towards the full on hands in the air climax that is in your face, dark, underground, moody and threatening. Side chain effects and swirling synths will offer that rich meaty sound that clubbers will feel impossible to resist. It is such a strong remix that will work on the clubfloors and summer festivals including Tomorrowland & Nature One that Markus Schulz will appear and rock the crowds. Lets hope more collaborations between Markus & Grube & Hovsepian will follow in the near future. #PureGold Love iT
