Interview with Markus Schulz
What inspired the Global DJ Broadcast-World Tour 2012?
I guess it was inspired by an urge to create a kind of round-the-world club experience, but packaged into a take-home mix-comp form. World Tour – Best Of 2012 has quite a cool, unusual engine.
Every month on my Global DJ Broadcast radio show, we do the World Tour night. We take the recording equipment to a gig, turn the mics up and capture that live spirit of the night.
We take our favorite tracks of the year and put them into a continuous mix. So, like, say on one track you’re going to be hearing people losing it in Ibiza. The next, a Miami crowd flavor. The next, Mexico City or wherever. It gives a listening experience unlike any other, and that’s what we’re all about.
Club hopping on a global scale, as I like to say! Nothing is going to equal a live experience, of course. It doesn't matter what DJ you’re talking about. It’s about finding a way to bridge that gap, and this is how I went about it.
How did you pick these tracks?
It was about finding a representation of the year, musically. I spanned (ballpark) 150 gigs in 2012, so it was quite a mission.
