The nightclub is packed, the lights and lasers are flowing, and the anticipation of the crowd is at a boisterous level. The transmission of the opening track blasts through the speakers in the club and out over the airwaves. What follows is a unique storytelling through the eyes and ears of Markus Schulz.

Over the past number of years, Markus has become one of the most popular and in-demand names across the DJ tour circuit. He has touched the hearts of many, with his unique blend of bassline-driven trance reaching fans across all five continents.

Despite differing languages and cultures, his music and passion has united the world. In an attempt to describe his affection for the fans, and the cities which he is proud to play, he has created a new dimension to his performances, unifying the live experience with radio.

Welcome to the concept of the Markus Schulz World Tour.

Markus' ethos of the World Tour is simple - to provide a platform for clubbers to showcase a united voice, emanating from the best clubs, arenas and festivals, to a worldwide listening audience each month.

Every World Tour recording is eagerly anticipated by the chosen city's conglomerate of fans, wishing to claim the accolade of being the loudest and most passionate audience. Consequently, these gigs are among the most discussed around the world, not just by the clubbers who attend the events in person, but also by the listeners through online and radio mediums.

With this CD compilation, Markus presents you his personal highlights of the World Tour in 2009 - the biggest tunes that have touched audiences from Hong Kong to Ibiza to Miami and beyond, and given us memories that will remain for a lifetime. The club culture from all over the world is captured, with each track representing one of the featured World Tour cities, accompanied by the enthusiasm of the audience.

You can now welcome the ambiance and excitement of the World Tour to your stereo, and look forward to the possibility of the series touching down in your city in 2010.
