Markus Schulz – Toronto 09
Having completed his most prolific annual tour in 2008, playing at the world’s biggest night clubs, arenas and festivals, Markus’ choice of best tour city to represent his 2009 CD series was quite simple.

“Some of my best gigs over the last few years have been in Toronto” says Markus. “The world famous Guvernment complex is incredible and a huge inspiration. It has everything – intimate, knowledgeable fans in a big room setting. I like to have each instalment of my CD series be inspired by different things and Toronto inspires a vibe that I am very pleased to share with the world.”

Overall, the compilation is a reflection of Markus’ sets in Toronto, and it is only appropriate that his next appearance in the city is only a matter of days away. The official Toronto ‘09 release party takes place at the Guvernment on Saturday March 21st.

Toronto ‘09 is available to purchase through all digital download portals and Amazon.com on March 24th. Pre-order it now
