One of the pioneers in Trance music and proud owner of “Coldharbour Recordings” Mr “Markus Schulz” aka “Unicorn Slayer” is celebrating his 42nd birthday today.

Being associated with acts like “New World Punx”(One half is “Ferry Corsten”), “Dakota” his sounds are an inspiration to many young producers today.

Bringing back his “Dakota” alias again in 2017, we are pretty sure this album will be full of surprises and amazing stuff.

Rocking our ears for more than 20 years he is one of the truly and hard working artist in the industry.
His sets are really rocking and full of energy whether it be playing at festivals like “EDC”, “Ultra”, “Tomorrowland” or playing at intimate venues and clubs with limited audience.

In 2016 he did many open to close sets ranging from 8-12 hours, not even once but in fact many times and we are really fond of those longer sets where he slowly builds up and then BOOM.

His set at “Electric Daisy Carnival – India” last year was one massive trip to heaven.
A small piece of interview we did around that time was phenomenal, read more here.

On his birthday we would like to take you on a magical journey of his memorable top 10 tracks which are our personal favourites and if you are really really into Trance then these tracks need no introduction at all 🙂

10) Taken from his “Do You Dream?” album from 2010, this will raise your body temperature like 65.4, just kidding though 😉

9) Doesn’t happen very often on “A State of Trance” radio show that a mashup gets chosen as “Future Favorite” but here is “Gareth Emery”, “Markus Schulz” & “Jennifer Rene”.
