Markus Schulz recently spoke to The Trance Project about all things trance!
In a fascinating, in-depth interview, Markus Schulz revealed some weird moments he’s ever experienced on stage.
“There was a phase a few years ago where go-go dancers were regularly falling off stage at my gigs. Maybe they were dancing too much?!”
Markus is a regular fixture at some of the world’s biggest & most famous clubs, arenas and festivals including Stereosonic, Tomorrowland, Space Miami, EDC Las Vegas, Electronic Family, Transmission, just to name a few.
Responsible for some of the most spine-tingling melodies and outrageous basslines in the world of dance music, the Coldharbour master will be heading to Australia next month for a massive three-city tour, reaching Melbourne on October 2 (special extended set), hitting Brisbane on October 3, and Sydney on October 4.
“There was a gig I played in Buffalo around six years ago, I think it was around a week before Christmas. During the set, there was a fire performer on the left side of the stage. She spilled the kerosene she was using and part of the stage went up in flames.”
“The craziest part was, everyone thought it was part of the show and started cheering. Then they came out in an attempt to put out the fire by using bottles of water. I was thinking, oh my god, we’re going to burn this entire place down by the end of the night.”
“Eventually they found a fire extinguisher to put it out, but it was one of the craziest things I’ve encountered during a gig for a very long time.”

He went on to tell The Trance Project of more crazy moments: “Not quite an on-stage incident, but happened before getting on stage. I had one of those crazy 24 hour stretches where I played 3 gigs in 3 different countries. I started playing the closing set at a gig in Barcelona; then it was straight to the airport for the Netherlands, where I played late afternoon at Dance Valley.”
“The final gig was in Glasgow, but there was a problem with my immigration papers when landing. So I ended up being detained at the airport – put handcuffs on and everything. Eventually the problem was resolved, but the delay meant I had to go straight to the club and perform. They didn’t let me keep the handcuffs.”
The full interview will be published next week on The Trance Project.
