“Yeah, I know! Dakota: ‘dark’, Markus Schulz: ‘not dark’. It’s an easy expedient way of looking at it. Personally though, with this album, I feel we’re transcending that. We’re moving beyond it and into a third band. If anything, this is Markus Schulz: ‘positive.’ – Markus Schulz

As a whole, Markus has rounded up what he called a new mix in the pack with regard to singers and fellow co-songwriters that flow over the course of these 16 tracks. For every familiar name, there’s a co-writer making their debut. For every neophyte, there’s an established artist from another style-space being introduced to the electronic music realm.
