As the holiday season approaches, Markus Schulz's most ambitious production project to date reaches its crescendo. The subject matter marries the imminent closure of one of the world's revered clubbing institutions.
For a man whose career has been defined by thinking outside the box, Schulz's 2015 city series outlay marked a departure from the traditional one-destination compilation; with twelve municipals receiving a soundtrack to decorate an important club or festival setting, with notable highlights for Coachella, Tomorrowland and Transmission, as well as hallowed grounds of Stereo, Avalon, Space and Ministry of Sound.
Throughout the past decade, the Miami native's association with Pacha in New York City has attracted fans from multiple states and countries; all flocking to experience his signature palette of sound in an open to close solo setting. Saturday December 26 marks the final chapter; which makes his Big Apple dedication even more poignant.
Along with his legion of followers, Schulz has also amassed a plethora of blossoming talent under his Coldharbour Recordings and Schulz Music Group homes. And like Nifra's input for Prague's Transmission theme, he recruits Fisherman & Hawkins for the New York piece, entitled 'Gotham Serenade'.
The Dutch duo boasts an impressive 2015 on its own, with anthems such as Skypunch, Planet Unknown and Doppelbanger sonically revolving across many dancefloors, including their starring roles in New York Coldharbour Nights.
Together, the dark, melodic nature of Markus Schulz is fused with the tough and energetic anthem building of Fisherman & Hawkins; and yields a result worthy of the setting for Pacha's final Saturday night.
Markus Schulz's 2015 musical output reaches a fine conclusion. Gotham Serenade will reside well in the city that never sleeps.
Dimitri Kechagias review: The time is just right for the ultimate anthem at Coldharbour recordings. Markus Schulz collaborates with Fisherman & Hawkins for an anthem written for the legendary USA city of New York called beautifully Gotham Serenade. So when these three heavyweights combine their forces what you expect to experience? The answer is straight forward with a track that goes to the point. Banging tribalish drums, pulsating vibrating basslines, dark haunting mysterious atmosphere and most importantly memorable euphoric hands in the air synthy riff that is offered in small portions until its full release in the long and teasing breakdown perfect for the ultimate climax that is epic, anthemic and extraordinary to say the least. You can easily guess that the crowds will go mental when the big rave theme comes to the open attacking innocent victims with its sharp and juicy flavour! #PureGold Love It
