Last month, Markus Schulz transported us to South Beach’s sexy “Bayfront (Miami)”. For February’s installment of Schulz’s ambitious “City Series” concept, he teams up with Tom Boxer to descend upon a city rich in art, architecture, and culture. This time, the Romanian capital of Bucharest is under focus, with its track titled “Bine Făcut” which translates to ‘well done’.
As one of the phoenix cities of the dance music industry, “Bine Făcut (Bucharest)” explores its deep historical heritage. Teaming up with well-respected Romanian producer, Tom Boxer, the single combines an interestingly brooding melody with sinister basslines for a maximum dancefloor effect.
A recent stay in the Romanian capital for America's Best DJ 2014, Markus Schulz, coincided with the country's recent presidential elections, sparking scenes of jubilation amongst the residents. Whilst walking the streets and soaking up the feelings of hope and desire for strong bonds and relations, the events acted as an inspirational catalyst for Markus; sensing an emotion of achievement and accomplishment by the natives, an aspect he felt important to spread to a worldwide audience through his musical vision. Some 24 hours later, he found himself in the studio with Boxer procuring a sound profound enough to encapsulate the country's developments, intertwined with memorable gigs throughout the years.
“Bine Făcut (Bucharest)” follows the first release from the “City Series,” entitled “Bayfront (Miami).” For the past eight years Markus has created a mix compilation and dedicated it to one city that inspired him that year. He mixes things up this year with his “City Series” which will see a new track each month that’s dedicated to a city that he’ll be playing at during that month. Schulz will record elements of the live show and utilize sounds of the venue to complete the forthcoming compilation titled Markus Schulz- World Tour 2015.
Stay tuned for more “City Series” release announcements and information on Markus’ upcoming tour dates, both solo and as New World Punx (w/ Ferry Corsten).
Dimitri Kechagias review: Markus Schulz is considered as one of the most influential electronic music artists with huge influence on the younger generations that saw the possibility in his music of being dark and moody and be hypnotic and trance as well. Markus has always interesting concepts attached to his productions and his latest one is dedicated to various cities around the world. Our next stop is not the twilight zone but rather a historic and beautiful city hit hard from the economic crisis with thousands of people leaving the country to find a better life elsewhere. Bucharest or Bine Facut is our next stop in Roumania and with him is the talented local producer Tom Boxer. The track moves on the harder more edgy rough sound that Markus adores to play in his mainstage sets. Rough pounding tribal drums, aggressive sharp in your face basslines and dark and moody melodic themes that transfer you in the middle of the dancefloor with Markus behind the decks. The heavy hard hitting build up lead us on equally satisfying thunderous climax that will cause serious of earthquakes whenever is played. Its explosive sounds that make you wanna go out of your mind whenever you hear them so be cautious and keep calm. Big Room Trance Essential smasher. Love It
