On February 29th, Markus Schulz dropped the bombed on his forthcoming Q2-2016 longplayer.
Markus revealed his highly anticipated
6th studio album titled, “Watch The World”, which will come through a joint venture between Black
Hole Recordings and his own Coldharbour Recordings label. Its cryptic
title – suggested to be a reference to the release’s underlying theme –
was further reflected by the unveiling of some enigmatically styled
cover art. Observers were quick to point out that it was Schulz’s first
album not to feature Markus himself on the cover.
What does it mean? Well we’ll (mostly) have to wait to find out. Watch The World has its worldwide release on April 29.
Markus did however let slip that its tracklist would include previously
unheard vocal outings with singers Delacey and Lady V, as well as his
Beatport #1 smash ‘Destiny’ and (in Markus Schulz Remix form) the
boundary-breaking Soundland collab ‘Face Down’.
Also part of
the info-drop were first details of Watch The World’s tour parties.
Schulz will be kicking it all off on April 8/9 with two of his hallmark
open-to-close sets at Ministry of Sound, London and Switzerland’s Hall
Of Fame.
Release weekend on April 29/30 sees the tour land on
the American West Coast, with nights at Exchange, LA and San Francisco’s
Audio.
With this exciting album concept, Markus is giving his
fans a unique opportunity to see him at intimate venues. Because of
these small capacities and the high demand for tickets, he will be
hosting a ticket request for fans to enter, for a chance to purchase a
limited amount of pre-sale tickets. For these ticket holders, he’ll also
be inviting a handful of lucky winners to an exclusive pre–show Q&A
experience. Hosted by Markus himself, they will get to listen to parts
of Watch The World and enjoy an in depth Q&A about its tracks and
creation.
