‘IN SEARCH OF SUNRISE 21 – NIRVANA: FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DREAMERS’ MIXED BY MARKUS SCHULZ

FEATURING THE MUSIC OF RÖYKSOPP, FERRY CORSTEN, REBŪKE, KYAU & ALBERT, ROBERT NICKSON PRES. RAHB, MIKE EFEX, DAXSON, L.S.G. AND MARKUS SCHULZ

For more than two decades, In Search of Sunrise has embodied emotion, discovery, and the beauty of daybreak. With the release of In Search of Sunrise 21, Markus Schulz has taken the series into his own hands for the first time, curating all three chapters in a single summer-long odyssey. Following the dreamlike foundation of The Awakening, he now unveils its beating heart: Nirvana.
“The Awakening set the stage, but Nirvana is where the music fully consumes you. It’s that moment when the dancefloor becomes timeless - when the melodies and emotions carry you into another dimension. For me, this is the beating heart of ISOS 21.”
Where the first chapter whispered with dawn’s atmosphere, Nirvana surges into motion, flowing from deep progressive textures into driving melodic techno, before culminating in trance at its most euphoric. It is the soundtrack to nights without end, to moments of release on the dancefloor, and to the kind of emotional catharsis that In Search of Sunrise has always promised.

Markus has curated a collection that bridges eras: legends like Röyksopp, Ferry Corsten, Kyau & Albert, and Oliver Lieb as L.S.G. share the stage with rising voices such as Cristoph, Rebūke, Hellmuth, Hel:sløwed, BLR, and Shadow Assembly. Yet at the heart of Nirvana lie moments that define its soul - among them, Markus’ own collaboration with BLR on Ten Seconds Before Sunrise, a moving tribute to Tiësto’s original ISOS legacy, reimagined for a new generation. Robert Nickson breathes new life into his beloved classic Heliopause, while Daxson unveils a special ISOS version of Amber Horizon - an introspective counterpoint to his signature high-energy style. And as the mix draws to its close, Markus delivers the deeply emotional What Remains of Us, a finale destined to resonate long after the music fades.
Reflecting on the mix, Markus explains:“Nirvana is about the nights when the music completely takes over, when time disappears, and you’re swept away in the emotion of it all. It’s where the legacy of In Search of Sunrise meets its future.”
In Search of Sunrise 21 – Nirvana: For The Next Generation Of Dreamers arrives August 27, with the trilogy’s final chapter The Nocturnal Voyage completing the journey on September 17, alongside the full CD and vinyl box set, also from Sept 17.

[item value="10"]Markus Schulz - What Remains Of Us [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] Markus Schulz's "What Remains Of Us" marks a poignant return to Black Hole Recordings, delivering a trance anthem that is both emotionally resonant and technically sophisticated. As a precursor to In Search of Sunrise 21 Mix 2: Nirvana, this track not only showcases Schulz's mastery of melody and atmosphere but also highlights his meticulous attention to production detail. The track opens with an ethereal soundscape, utilizing layered pads and subtle atmospheric textures that set a haunting, introspective tone. The initial melody is carried by a delicate, reverb-soaked synth lead, which gradually evolves in complexity through the use of arpeggiation and harmonic layering. The low-end foundation is anchored by a warm, rolling bassline, subtly side-chained to create space and dynamic movement within the mix. Schulz's production shines in its clarity and depth. The kick drum is punchy yet unobtrusive, carefully EQ'd to sit perfectly within the mix without overpowering the melodic elements. Percussive elements such as shakers, hi-hats, and snare rolls are meticulously placed, adding rhythmic drive and energy while maintaining a balanced, cohesive sound. The stereo field is expertly utilized, with wide panned synths and atmospheric effects creating an immersive, three-dimensional listening experience. A hallmark of "What Remains Of Us" is its dynamic progression. Schulz employs automation extensively—modulating filter cutoffs, reverb tails, and delay feedback to build tension and release seamlessly. The track’s breakdown showcases a masterful use of reverb and delay, creating a vast, open sonic space that contrasts beautifully with the tighter, more rhythmic sections. The crescendo is achieved through layered synth stabs, rising white noise sweeps, and subtle pitch modulation, culminating in an emotionally charged, euphoric climax. Moreover, the track benefits from Schulz's signature vocal sampling techniques. Ethereal vocal chops are subtly integrated, adding an organic, human element that enhances the emotive quality without detracting from the instrumental focus.
"What Remains Of Us" is a meticulously crafted sonic journey. Schulz’s attention to detail in sound design, arrangement, and mixing results in a track that resonates on both emotional and technical levels. Euphoric yet bittersweet, this masterpiece captures the essence of trance—designed to move both hearts and dance floors alike. #PureGold Love iT[/content]

This heartfelt interlude is adorned with delicate, pizzicato-style plucks that sparkle like distant stars, adding a layer of emotional depth.

[item value="10"]AYU (UA) & Remy Lights - Run for You [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] Run for You is a masterfully crafted late-night roller that thrives on mood and spatial dynamics. Its foundation is built on a pulsing groove set at 128 BPM, skillfully intertwined with crisp, meticulously layered percussion. The track’s arrangement exhibits a refined restraint, allowing each sonic element to breathe, which contributes to its hypnotic allure on the dance floor. From a technical standpoint, the production showcases deep progressive and raw trance undertones, seamlessly fused with strong melodic techno and house elements. The bassline operates as the track’s anchor, employing a sidechained compression technique that synchronizes perfectly with the kick drum, creating a dynamic ebb and flow that propels the rhythm forward. The percussive elements are finely tuned, with high-frequency shakers and claps subtly panned to enhance the stereo field, adding depth and dimension. The synth work is a standout feature, characterized by lush, evolving pads and arpeggiated sequences that utilize filters and resonance sweeps to maintain an engaging progression. The melodic motifs are crafted with analog synth emulations, lending a warm, organic texture that contrasts beautifully against the track’s digital precision. Vocally, "Run for You" employs a minimalist approach. The ethereal vocal samples drift in and out like fleeting memories, processed with reverb and delay effects to create an atmospheric, almost ghostly presence. This technique adds an emotional layer without overwhelming the track’s introspective vibe. The mixing process demonstrates a clear emphasis on clarity and balance. Each element occupies its own frequency range, ensuring that no part of the spectrum feels overcrowded. Subtle automation throughout the arrangement adds dynamic shifts, preventing monotony and keeping listeners engaged. In essence, "Run for You" is minimal yet magnetic, designed for those introspective moments on the dance floor. Its hypnotic atmosphere, crafted through expert production techniques and a deep understanding of sonic space, is pure gold. This track is not just heard; it’s experienced, leaving an indelible mark long after the final beat fades. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

An emotional expedition toward tomorrow, unfolding in three chapters across the summer of 2025.

It’s not just a compilation. It’s a reimagination.

For over two decades, In Search of Sunrise has been more than a series, it’s been a sanctuary for sonic wanderers; a space where emotion, beauty, and transcendence meet under one sky. Now, as the next chapter begins, Markus Schulz steps fully into the role of creative guide, evolving the series into something not just reflective, but visionary.

“The world has changed. So has the music. But the need to escape, to dream, and to feel—that remains,” Markus says. “And that’s what this next era of In Search of Sunrise is about: building a bridge from nostalgia into a future worth believing in.”

For the first time ever, In Search of Sunrise will roll out as three separate drops across the season - allowing each disc to breathe, resonate, and connect in its own time.

First up is “The Awakening”, arriving August 6, which draws from organic textures, deep progressive rhythms, melodic techno, ambient atmospheres, and emotionally rich, pensive tones. It’s the soundtrack to your late-night reflections and early morning revelations.

That will be followed by the emotionally euphoric mix “The Nirvana” on August 27, and finally, “The Nocturnal Voyage”, a late-night techno-leaning finale, on September 17. The full vinyl and CD experience will also be available on that day for collectors and deep listeners alike.

The journey begins August 6 with The Awakening, featuring music from London Grammar, Sasha, Deep Dish, Paul Oakenfold & Hernan Cattaneo, Korolova, Cosmic Gate, Estiva, PROFF, Jerome Isma-Ae, and two exclusives from Markus Schulz under his Dakota alias.

Markus adds:

“The Awakening is about widening the lens; welcoming in legendary artists who somehow had never graced the series before: London Grammar, Sasha, Hernan Cattaneo, Deep Dish.

And at the same time, it’s about planting seeds. I want someone five years from now to say, ‘I first discovered them on ISOS 21.’ That’s how you carry a legacy into the future.”  And the best way to do that is to reflect on authentic emotional resonance; something that touches the soul but doesn’t overexplain itself.

It’s about giving space for new stories to unfold. Because whether you’ve been with the series since the beginning, or this is your first time hearing its name - In Search of Sunrise isn’t just about where you’ve been. It’s about where you’re going next.”

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Luke Terry's "Echoes of Solara" emerges as a masterclass in uplifting trance production, seamlessly blending technical prowess with emotive musical storytelling. At a driving pace of 134 BPM, the track showcases Terry's meticulous attention to detail, evident in its layered arrangement and pristine sound design. The foundation of "Echoes of Solara" lies in its pulsating basslines, crafted with precision to deliver both depth and groove. Utilizing sidechain compression, Terry ensures that the bass interacts harmoniously with the thumping drums, creating a dynamic ebb and flow characteristic of peak-time trance anthems. The percussion elements—a combination of crisp hi-hats, snappy snares, and punchy kicks—are processed with subtle reverb and delay effects, giving them spatial depth without overwhelming the mix. The punchy kicks are likely layered with sub-enhancing tools to maintain consistency across various sound systems. Central to "Echoes of Solara" are its highly emotional melodies and hypnotic trance riffs. Terry employs a blend of virtual analog synthesizers and digital VSTs to craft these melodies. The lead synths, with their warm, soaring tones, are enriched by modulated filters and subtle detuning, adding to their ethereal quality. The cinematic breakdown is a testament to Terry's compositional skill. Here, reverb tails are extended, and pads are layered to create a lush, atmospheric backdrop. Automation plays a key role, gradually building intensity through filter sweeps and resonance boosts, culminating in the track’s explosive climax. What sets "Echoes of Solara" apart is its balance between energy and subtlety. Terry avoids overemphasis on any single element, ensuring that each component—whether a trance riff, bassline, or percussive hit—serves the track's overall emotional arc. The dreamy, almost cinematic quality of the breakdown contrasts beautifully with the vigorous, high-impact drops, offering listeners an immersive auditory journey. In conclusion, "Echoes of Solara" isn't just a standout for fans of melodic trance; it's a showcase of Luke Terry's mastery over trance production techniques. From meticulous layering to inventive sound design, it's #PureGold indeed. Love IT[/content]

Clocking in at 138 BPM, this track is a quintessential example of energetic, tough, and uplifting trance. Its production exhibits meticulous attention to sonic detail, resulting in a powerful auditory journey that resonates profoundly with trance enthusiasts. The foundation of the track is built upon robust, heavy-hitting basslines that are tightly synchronized with pounding drums. These elements are crafted using sidechain compression techniques, allowing the kick drum to punch through the mix with clarity, while the bass maintains a driving force. The razor-sharp kicks, likely shaped with precise transient shaping tools, provide a crisp attack that cuts through the layered sounds. Daxson’s adept use of layering is particularly evident during the build-up phase.

[item value="10"]Danny Cullen - Follow Me [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Danny Cullen’s latest track, "Follow Me," is a stellar fusion of trance and techno, set at an invigorating 130 BPM. The production intricacies reflect Cullen's mastery and evolution, drawing from his rich history under the aliases Tucandeo and Artisan. Returning to his real name signifies a personal resonance in his new body of work, and "Follow Me" exemplifies this intimate connection. The track opens with tough, pounding deep techno kicks crafted with precision layering techniques, giving them a rich, resonant depth. These kicks are underpinned by metallic, moody basslines that utilize a combination of analog synthesis and digital processing to create a dynamic, evolving texture. The basslines are meticulously side-chained to the kick, allowing for a pulsating rhythm that maintains energy without overwhelming the mix. Punchy, raw drums introduce rhythmic complexity through intricate hi-hat patterns and percussive fills. The percussive elements are processed with subtle reverb and transient shaping, providing a crisp yet atmospheric feel. Over this robust foundation, trancy synths soar, built using layered saw waves with carefully modulated filters to deliver that signature euphoric edge. Cinematic emotional strings are woven seamlessly, adding a lush, harmonic dimension. These strings are likely created with high-quality orchestral libraries, blended with synthetic pads to maintain cohesion with the electronic elements. The touching synth melody carries a haunting beauty, utilizing detuning techniques for a slightly wavering, nostalgic effect. In the background, distorted spoken female vocals add an ethereal, spiritual context. The vocals are heavily processed with granular synthesis and pitch modulation, creating an otherworldly texture that complements the track’s moody ambiance. "Follow Me" stands out not just for its compelling composition but for its sophisticated production techniques, making it a quintessential track for late-night techno journeys. It’s no surprise that Markus Schulz championed it during the 2025 Miami Music Week festivities—this track is pure gold. Love iT[/content]
