Regarded as the European equivalent of Miami Music Week, the annual Amsterdam Dance Event festivities have grown to become one of the most important weeks of the year for clubbers and industry members. For Markus Schulz, the city of Amsterdam encompasses layers vital to his own career story.
The Dutch capital has already been subject to a full city series compilation back in 2008; and when the concept of Markus' 2015 production series came to fruition, Amsterdam had many reasons to be considered.
Moving from the peace of the canals, Markus' representation is a more nocturnal affair, in a city famed for its Red Light District. Made specifically as a liveset opener, the piercing stabs and throbbing bassline is overwhelmed with a spine tingling melody that turns the darkness into the bright lights of the stage.
Dancing in the Red Light will be an essential for Amsterdam and beyond.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Markus Schulz had a magnificent performance at the Luminosity event during ADE and everybody has commented how he manages to radiate so much energy in his mindblowing dj sets. The track dedicated to Amsterdam is released on Coldharbour recordings with the title Dancing In The Red Light. It's a super powerful energetic big room progressive trancer with tech trance elements and memorable synthy hooks to make you scream and shout without any doubt. Thumping rough flexible basslines, pounding bouncy cranking drums and great breakdown that strong uplifting theme is introduced that is further developed in the climax as a full on hands in the air moment. The track has great rougher and techier sequences merged perfectly with the more melodic and euphoric adding that anthemic tone. It's definitely one of the big movers and shakers. #PureGold Love iT
