[Interview] Michael Watman, SVP of Nightlife at Fontainebleau Las Vegas Talks Club Vision, Talent, and Exciting New Events

Las Vegas, the undisputed nightclub capital of the world, offers an unparalleled party experience. With its endless array of high-end restaurants, world-class casinos, and mega-clubs, the city caters to every partygoer’s desire. Every weekend, dance music enthusiasts flock to Las Vegas to catch top DJs and experience cutting-edge production. The sheer number of nightclubs can make it challenging to choose, but the clubs from Fontainebleau Las Vegas stand out in an extravagant way. Since opening in December of 2023, LIV Beach and LIV Las Vegas have become prime staples of the strip, with A list residencies from DJ’s such as John Summit, Tiësto, Calvin Harris, Dom Dolla, Metro Boomin and more.
With 2024 coming to an end in a few months, we had the opportunity to speak to Michael Waltman who serves as the the Senior Vice President of Nightlife for Fontainebleau Las Vegas, and gather his thoughts on how the group upholds their vision, as well as speak on what’s coming up in the event calendar. Michael currently oversees all aspects of nightlife and daylife on property. Prior to joining Fontainebleau, in 2020, Waltman led the team at Resorts World Las Vegas that launched Zouk Nightclub and Ayu Dayclub and he is proud to be a part of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunities of bringing two high-profile nightlife brands to Las Vegas. He previously served over a decade at Wynn Nightlife, departing in 2020.
What is LIV’s philosophy when creating a memorable atmosphere for its patrons?
At LIV Las Vegas, we focus on combining top-tier entertainment while creating memorable moments. Our roster of resident artists include the hottest names in EDM, hip-hop and beyond, in a high-energy environment. We also strive to ensure amazing service for all guests, from VIP to general admission, we want to make certain each guest has an unforgettable experience. Fontainebleau Las Vegas prides itself on being an industry leader in both the luxury hospitality and entertainment space.
The first resident DJ announced by LIV was John Summit. What factors do you consider when selecting your resident DJs and how do you balance established names with up-and-coming talent? 
We are always looking for the best of the best. That doesn’t always mean the biggest names or the most popular, sometimes it means taking risks and focusing on talent, style, energy, crowd engagement and their ability to create a vibe that resonates with our brand. With talent including John Summit, Tiësto, Calvin Harris, Dom Dolla, Metro Boomin and more and with names that are newer to the scene like James Kennedy, Cloonee and Sommer Ray, all bring a fresh energy and diversity to the lineup. This ensures that we’re not only catering to the tastes of today, but also setting the trends for tomorrow. 
LIV’s first location opened in Miami and has dominated the South Beach nightlife scene. How much of the Miami ambiance was incorporated into the identity of LIV Beach and LIV Las Vegas?
LIV Las Vegas and LIV Beach both draw inspiration from our iconic Miami roots. While each venue has its own unique energy, we’ve incorporated elements of Miami’s vibrant nightlife culture, such as bold music curation and a sense of exclusivity that makes every guest feel like they’re part of something special. 
With the Fall/Winter season approaching, does LIV have any themed events planned to coincide with the upcoming holidays? 
As we enter the second half of the year, expect extravagant celebrations during the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix with can’t miss performances by John Summit, Calvin Harris and more, making LIV Las Vegas the party destination during race weekend. Additionally, for those headed to the big race, LIV will be activating at the Paddock Club with LIV on the Grid, an open-air nightlife venue featuring a star-studded roster of performances, including Dom Dolla on November 23. Additionally, Papi Steak at Fontainebleau Las Vegas – the famed steakhouse from David “Papi” Einhorn and David Grutman’s Groot Hospitality will take over a F1 Garage during this year’s race, November 21 – 23. This ultra-exclusive trackside culinary and entertainment experience will combine Papi Steak’s high energy and the unrivaled hospitality of Las Vegas’ newest luxury resort with the thrills of an F1 race. This year’s New Years Eve weekend at LIV boasts the best lineup up and down the Strip with performances by Calvin Harris (December 29), John Summit (December 30), and Tiësto (December 31) to ring in 2025. Stay tuned for more exciting announcements as we head into 2025!

As the remix moves into the breakdown, atmospheric chords, pulsating arpeggiators, and risers create tension, only for the steady kick to return, bringing a refreshing release of energy that later calms as the track draws to a close. Having curated a dynamic journey for listeners to immerse themselves in, Lady Decibel’s rework of ‘Lunch’ will surely appeal to both their fans and genre lovers just beginning to discover the depths of their creative world.

Ahead of this milestone event, Ultra has unveiled its impressive Phase 1 lineup. This year the Ultra Miami lineup is a momentous roster.
Pre-phase 1 lineup: Anyma b2b Solomun
As the preeminent curator of electronic music’s rare, ‘you-had-to-be-there’ moments, Ultra kickstarted the Phase 1 lineup announcements last week with some serious surprise. Ultra revealed the plans to host the first-ever, world-exclusive Anyma b2b Solomun performance as a headlining set on the festival’s Main Stage.
A revolutionary collaboration between Anyma’s cutting-edge audiovisual artistry, and Solomun’s renowned technical mastery. This landmark and global debut will combine mesmerizing visual installations, avant-garde sound engineering, and awe-inspiring stage design. Be prepared to be brought to a futuristic, immersive experience.
It’s all about techno: Solomun’s Diynamic at Ultra Miami 2025
Soon after announcing the historic Anyma b2b Solomun set, Ultra unveiled even more exciting Solomun news. What, you may ask. Well, the Croatian DJ will bring his Diynamic record label to the festival for the very first time. They will host an exclusive stage takeover at the RESISTANCE MegaStructure. Diynamic’s debut Ultra Music Festival takeover will feature a solo headlining set from Solomun himself. Expect also first-time festival performances from esteemed artists like English electronic experimentalism pioneer Four Tet, Dutch tech-house superstar Mau P, and more.
Carl Cox Ultra Miami The return of the master: Carl Cox Invites to debut at Ultra Music Festival
Ultra’s 25th anniversary celebration wouldn’t be complete without its most iconic figure, Carl Cox. He will be debuting his brand-new Live Show in his headlining set at the RESISTANCE MegaStructure. He is an institution at Ultra Miami having DJing at the event’s third edition back in 2001, shaping Ultra’s legacy with every performance.
In 2005, Ultra broke ground by inviting Cox to curate his very own stage, which started as a modest tent dubbed ‘Carl Cox & Friends.’  Over the last two decades, that humble tent has evolved into the world-famous RESISTANCE MegaStructure.
Although Cox has curated numerous stage takeovers at Ultra over the years, the 2025 festival will see the beloved artist bring his globe-trotting ‘Carl Cox Invites’ brand to the event for the very first time.
Anchored by the debut of Carl Cox’s brand-new Live Show, the ‘Carl Cox Invites’ stage takeover will feature a plethora of live performances from house and techno heavyweights.
Ultra has spent the last two decades cementing its status as the vanguard of dance music’s never-before-seen, history-making performances, and the festival’s 25th anniversary celebration will raise the bar even higher.
deadmau5 b2b Pendulum DJ set
In addition to presenting the world’s first Anyma b2b Solomun set, Ultra 2025 will also host the first-ever, world-exclusive deadmau5 b2b Pendulum DJ set. Yes, it’s a thing, we were surprised as well.
Although deadmau5 and Pendulum have previously shared the Ultra stage, their upcoming b2b DJ set will mark the first full-scale collaborative performance between the two.
In addition to their debut b2b DJ set, both deadmau5 and Pendulum will also deliver headlining standalone performances. Multi-platinum electronic music producer deadmau5 will play the first-ever ‘retro5pective set,’ featuring a collection of his old-school catalog hits – no new material, just pure, iconic throwbacks.
Meanwhile, Pendulum will present a live performance, their first at Ultra since 2022.
Some house music, shall we?
In another festival first, house music megastars Dom Dolla and John Summit will take to Ultra’s Main Stage with their joint project, Everything Always.

Legendary trance group Above & Beyond will return, delivering an exclusive performance for festival’s 25th anniversary.
Trance but it’s also big room
Trance legend Armin van Buuren has been a mainstay at Ultra since his inaugural performance in 2005. At Ultra 2025, Van Buuren will deliver yet another mesmeric Main Stage, headlining set, in addition to hosting a stage takeover from his global radio show A State of Trance. It will mark the 13th ASOT takeover in the festival’s history.
Following his stunning sunset performance at Ultra 2024, illustrious Dutch producer and DJ Hardwell will once again headline the Main Stage in 2025.
Ultra will also welcome back world-renowned superstar Martin Garrix, who made his Ultra debut in 2014 when he was only 17 years old and has headlined nearly every edition of the festival since then (with the exception of 2018).
Martin Garrix Ultra Miami 2022 Zedd will return to Ultra’s Main Stage after his electrifying 2023 performance, which included a surprise appearance by superstar rapper Ice Spice. Zedd’s upcoming Main Stage headlining set will mark his first Ultra performance since the release of his ‘Telos‘ LP earlier this summer, his first album in nine years.
With this massive Phase 1 lineup announcement, Ultra will also welcome back a plethora of veteran headliners. They include Swedish superstar Alesso, who last performed at Ultra 2023, GRAMMY-winning Dutch icon Tiësto, and Dutch international sensation Afrojack.
It’s all dark here
Ultra’s 25th anniversary installment will also usher in the highly-anticipated returns of two pioneering electronic music acts: Gesaffelstein and Nero.
Gesaffelstein, known for his dark and atmospheric soundscapes, will grace the Ultra stage for the first time since 2014. Expect his electrifying energy and cutting-edge production to celebrate the festival’s milestone.
Meanwhile, Nero, the GRAMMY award-winning trio celebrated for their fusion of dubstep and drum & bass, will perform at Ultra for the first time since 2016.
It’s techno, yet again: RESISTANCE
Ultra’s esteemed underground brand, RESISTANCE, will once again present a bevy of house and techno’s most in-demand acts across two stages: The Megastructure and The Cove.
Richie Hawtin is no stranger to the RESISTANCE MegaStructure, but the 2025 festival will mark the techno pioneer’s first live performance at Ultra. He’ll present his revolutionary live show ‘DEX EFX X0X.’

Ultra drops historic Phase 1 lineup for festival’s 25th anniversary celebration

Ultra Music Festival is gearing up to celebrate its 25th anniversary in historic fashion, returning to its long-time home of Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami from Friday, March 28 – Sunday, March 30, 2025. Ahead of this milestone event, Ultra has unveiled its impressive Phase 1 lineup – a momentous roster that further solidifies its legacy as the World’s Premier Electronic Music Festival.
As the preeminent curator of electronic music’s rare, ‘you-had-to-be-there’ moments,
Ultra kickstarted the Phase 1 lineup announcements last week by revealing plans to host the first-ever, world-exclusive Anyma b2b Solomun performance as a headlining set on the festival’s Main Stage. A revolutionary collaboration between Anyma’s cutting-edge audiovisual artistry, and Solomun’s renowned technical mastery, this landmark, global debut will combine mesmerizing visual installations, avant-garde sound engineering, and awe-inspiring stage design to create a futuristic, immersive experience for the ages.
Soon after announcing the historic Anyma b2b Solomun set, Ultra unveiled even more exciting Solomun news: the Croatian DJ will bring his Diynamic record label to the festival for the very first time, hosting an exclusive stage takeover at the RESISTANCE MegaStructure. Diynamic’s debut Ultra Music Festival takeover will feature a solo headlining set from Solomun himself, as well as first-time festival performances from esteemed artists like English electronic experimentalism pioneer Four Tet, Dutch tech-house superstar Mau P and more.
Ultra’s 25th anniversary celebration wouldn’t be complete without its most iconic figure, Carl Cox, who will be debuting his brand-new Live Show in his headlining set at the RESISTANCE MegaStructure. The legendary British DJ and producer has been a cornerstone of the festival since DJing at the event’s third edition back in 2001, shaping Ultra’s legacy with every performance. In 2005, Ultra broke ground by inviting Cox to curate his very own stage, which started as a modest tent dubbed ‘Carl Cox & Friends.’ Over the last two decades, that humble tent has evolved into the world-famous RESISTANCE MegaStructure, helping to solidify Ultra Music Festival as the premier tastemakers for not only stadium-smashing, Main Stage superstars, but also for underground house and techno masters.
Although Cox has curated numerous stage takeovers at Ultra over the years, the 2025 festival will see the beloved artist bring his globe-trotting ‘Carl Cox Invites’ brand to the event for the very first time. Taking over the RESISTANCE MegaStructure, ‘Carl Cox Invites’ revolves around Cox’s reputation for bringing together artists who are pushing the boundaries of electronic music, showcasing the underground’s most in-demand talents alongside emerging house and techno stars. Anchored by the debut of Carl Cox’s brand-new Live Show, the ‘Carl Cox Invites’ stage takeover will feature a plethora of live performances from house and techno heavyweights.
Ultra has spent the last two decades cementing its status as the vanguard of dance music’s never-before-seen, history-making performances, and the festival’s 25th anniversary celebration will raise the bar even higher. In addition to presenting the world’s first Anyma b2b Solomun set, Ultra 2025 will also host the first-ever, world-exclusive deadmau5 b2b Pendulum DJ set. Although deadmau5 and Pendulum have previously shared the Ultra stage – when deadmau5 joined Pendulum during their 2016 Main Stage set for a performance of ‘Ghosts ‘N’ Stuff’ (with Pendulum’s Rob Swire) – their upcoming b2b DJ set will mark the first full-scale collaborative performance between these two electronic music giants.
In addition to their debut b2b DJ set, both deadmau5 and Pendulum will also deliver headlining standalone performances that are equally as special. Multi-platinum electronic music producer deadmau5 will play the first-ever ‘retro5pective set,’ featuring a collection of his old-school catalog hits – no new material, just pure, iconic throwbacks. Meanwhile, Pendulum will present a live performance, their first at Ultra since 2022.
In another festival first, house music megastars Dom Dolla and John Summit will take to Ultra’s Main Stage with their joint project, Everything Always, marking the superduo’s debut Miami performance. Since launching this collaborative venture in 2023, Everything Always has quickly become one of electronic music’s most sought-after shows seamlessly blending their unique styles and musical visions into an immersive, high-octane affair.
Five-time GRAMMY Award-nominee Axwell is a seasoned presence on Ultra’s Main Stage, having headlined the festival multiple times as part of his Swedish House Mafia supergroup, as well as his collaborative Axwell Λ Ingrosso project. However, for the first time in the festival’s history, Ultra 2025 will feature Axwell performing his own solo headlining set on the Main Stage.
Legendary trance group Above & Beyond etched their name in Ultra history with a surprise headlining set at the festival’s 2018 edition, delivering one of the most captivating and euphoric performances of the weekend to close out the ASOT Stage. Now returning for the first time since that momentous occasion, Above & Beyond will deliver an exclusive performance for festival’s 25th anniversary.
Trance legend Armin van Buuren has been a mainstay at Ultra since his inaugural performance in 2005, and eighteen years later, he continues to push the boundaries of his artistry. During his headlining set on Ultra’s Main Stage earlier this year, the GRAMMY-nominated powerhouse delighted fans with a surprise appearance by American rockstar Jon Bon Jovi, premiering his unreleased remix of Bon Jovi’s 1992 classic single “Keep the Faith.” At Ultra 2025, Van Buuren will deliver yet another mesmeric Main Stage, headlining set, in addition to hosting a stage takeover from his global radio show A State of Trance – which will mark the 13th ASOT takeover in the festival’s history.
Following his stunning sunset performance at Ultra 2024, illustrious Dutch producer and DJ Hardwell will once again headline the Main Stage in 2025, building on the momentum from his set last March and his surprise closing performance in 2022. Known for blending his vintage sound with an updated big room techno style, the Revealed Recordings label boss continues to play a vital role in the Ultra Music Festival brand, both before and after his four-year hiatus from 2018 to 2022.
Ultra will also welcome back world-renowned superstar Martin Garrix, who made his Ultra debut in 2014 when he was only 17 years old and has headlined nearly every edition of the festival since then (with the exception of 2018).
Three-time GRAMMY Award-winner and multi-platinum artist Zedd will return to Ultra’s Main Stage after his electrifying 2023 performance, which included a surprise appearance by superstar rapper Ice Spice. Zedd’s upcoming Main Stage headlining set will mark his first Ultra performance since the release of his ‘Telos’ LP earlier this summer, his first album in nine years.
With this massive Phase 1 lineup announcement, Ultra will also welcome back a plethora of veteran headliners, including Swedish superstar Alesso, who last performed at Ultra 2023, GRAMMY-winning Dutch icon Tiësto, and Dutch international sensation Afrojack.
LSZEE, the collaborative project featuring bass masters CloZee and LSDREAM, will make its monumental Ultra debut at the 2025 festival, uniting their unique sonic landscapes for an unforgettable performance. Following LSDREAM’s solo set in 2022 and CloZee’s solo performance in 2023, this highly-anticipated collaboration promises to blend CloZee’s ethereal soundscapes with LSDREAM’s heavy-hitting bass, creating a transformative, galvanizing experience.
Ultra’s 25th anniversary installment will also usher in the highly-anticipated returns of two pioneering electronic music acts: Gesaffelstein and Nero. Gesaffelstein, known for his dark and atmospheric soundscapes, will grace the Ultra stage for the first time since 2014, bringing his electrifying energy and cutting-edge production to celebrate the festival’s milestone. Meanwhile, Nero, the GRAMMY award-winning trio celebrated for their fusion of dubstep and drum & bass, will perform at Ultra for the first time since 2016, promising an unforgettable experience for fans as they showcase their iconic hits and innovative new material.
Similarly, Ultra’s Phase 1 lineup announcement also includes festival veterans like iconic UK drum & bass duo Chase & Status, who are set to unveil their new live show following their explosive Ultra 2024 DJ set. Cyclops label-head Subtronics will also make his return, bringing his signature, bass-heavy arsenal after a powerful debut at the festival in 2023.
Ultra’s esteemed underground brand, RESISTANCE, will once again present a bevy of house and techno’s most in-demand acts across two stages: The Megastructure and The Cove.
Richie Hawtin is no stranger to the RESISTANCE MegaStructure, but the 2025 festival will mark the techno pioneer’s first live performance at Ultra, where he’ll present his revolutionary live show ‘DEX EFX X0X.’ Anchored within the immersive fluidity in digital manipulation that Hawtin’s DJ performances have become synonymous with, DEX EFX X0X builds upon the concepts of his ‘Decks, EFX & 909” series of compilation from 1995 – 2005, using all the performance tools available today. DEX EFX X0X demonstrates equally the early foundations and future of DJing, representing an exciting evolutionary step in Hawtin’s lifelong commitment to the development of the electronic music scene.
Heralded as the most international house and techno festival brand, RESISTANCE will feature headlining performances from leading underground acts, like Drumcode label boss Adam Beyer, as well as KNTXT ringleader Charlotte de Witte, who will return to the festival following her historic Main Stage debut at Ultra 2023. Joining them will be Boris Brejcha, the German ‘high-tech minimal’ specialist who made waves with his Ultra debut in 2022 by hosting his FCKNG SERIOUS record label’s first-ever showcase in America. Also featured will be Miss Monique, now a staple of the ULTRA Worldwide circuit, who captivated RESISTANCE audiences at the 2024 editions of ULTRA Europe, ULTRA Korea, ULTRA Japan and ULTRA Hong Kong. British techno producer Eli Brown will return to Ultra for his first-ever solo set, following his 2024 performance alongside Oliver Heldens’ techno alias HI-LO, while Ukrainian duo ARTBAT will once again fuel the RESISTANCE dance floor with their chart-topping records.
RESISTANCE will also present debut festival performances from beloved underground acts including 999999999, the Italian duo renowned for their influential role in the modern hard techno scene, and I Hate Models, the French producer who epitomizes the essence of contemporary industrial techno.
In addition to hosting stage takeovers from Carl Cox Invites, Diynamic, and ASOT, Ultra 2025 will proudly welcome preeminent hardstyle label Dirty Workz back to the UMF Radio Stage for the fourth consecutive year. After making history by hosting Ultra’s first-ever hardstyle stage at the 2022 festival, Dirty Workz will once again serve up a smattering of hardstyle, jumpstyle and happy hard beats.

About the ‘Purified Remixes II’ Artwork
The Purified Remixes II artwork displays coral and surrounding reef fish, captured by Daniel Nicholson. Small reef fish play a crucial role in maintaining the health of coral ecosystems by controlling algae growth, which can otherwise smother corals. Their feeding habits promote coral regeneration and biodiversity, ensuring the resilience of these delicate marine habitats. These little fish also serve as a vital food source for larger predators, supporting the broader oceanic food web. You can help protect these ecosystems by being a citizen scientist; track fish and reef health when you volunteer your time to reefcheck.org.

First, the festival dropped another b2b bomb, announcing Dom Dolla b2b John Summit (Everything Always) would also play the mainstage.
Only a short time later the full Phase 1 lineup dropped and it’s a banger as expected. It features exclusives from Above & Beyond, Afrojack, Alesso, Anyma b2b Solomun, Armin van Buuren, Artbat, Axwell, Boris Brejcha, Carl Cox, Charlotte de Witte, Chase and Status, Deadmau5 b2b Pendulum, Dom Dolla b2b John Summit, Four Tet, Gesaffelstein, Hardwell, I Hate Models, LSZEE, Martin Garrix, Mau P, Miss Monique, NERO, NGHTMRE b2b Sullivan King, Richie Hawtin DEF EFX XOX, Solomun, Subtronics, Zell, and Zeds Dead. Exclusive means you’ll only see them at Ultra, or possibly as a surprise guest at a side party.
Resistance will host stage takeovers from Carl Cox Invites (meaning some b2bs) and Solomun’s Diynamic record label. Ultra will also feature a psytrance takeover from Vini Vici’s Alteza Records in addition to A State of Trance and Dirty Workz. In addition to deadmau5 and Pendulum playing together, they will also play separately. Deadmau5 will perform a retrospective set and Pendulum will play live.
Beyond that, there’s 999999999, Adam Beyer, Eli Brown, and Tiesto. Don’t forget, this is only Phase 1. Ultra has shown us in the past that it still has plenty of tricks up its sleeve from here. Could we see Eric Prydz [CELL] on Phase 2? We’ll have to wait and see. Tickets are back on sale now!

Coldplay's Chris Martin Reflects on Avicii's Death, Urges Greater Care in Social Media Era

A decade after its release, who could forget Coldplay and Avicii's "A Sky Full of Stars"?
Certainly not the band's frontman, Chris Martin, a former collaborator of the late EDM icon, whose real name was Tim Bergling. Looking back on the track in a new interview, Martin opened up about the pressures of social media and the toll it takes on artists' mental health.
"I think we have to handle everyone with care, first and foremost," Martin told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 ahead of Coldplay's 10th album, Moon Music. "Secondly, artists, particularly when they're on their own—it's a delicate thing, especially now with social media."
"It's relentless and it's extremely stressful for a young artist. So if someone like Tim, who was at the beginning of the real social media craziness, and he was doing four gigs a day—there was no Will [Champion, Martin's Coldplay bandmate]. He didn't have a Will to say, 'Hey, awesome. Let’s rest for a minute' or, 'Let's not do seven singles this week, let's do one.'"
"A Sky Full of Stars" is a generational dance anthem for countless fans of Bergling, who tragically died by suicide in 2018. The song's lyricism ("'Cause you get lighter the more it gets dark") continues to remind us of the inherent worth and brilliance within each individual, often obscured by the shadows of depression, anxiety or trauma.
Many in the music industry now regard Avicii as a cautionary tale. Ubiquitously known as one of the most virtuosic dance music producers of all-time, Bergling grappled with mental health struggles contrived largely from a grueling tour schedule.
"The thing you learned from Avicii was we have to protect all people," Martin added.
Moon Music is scheduled to release October 4th, 2024. You can watch Coldplay's full interview on Apple Music 1 below.

In Search Of Sunrise 20 Mixed by Markus Schulz, Solarstone, York, Airscape, Zoya & Super8 & Tab

INCLUDING MUSIC FROM ARMIN, ABOVE & BEYOND, COSMIC GATE, GIUSEPPE OTTAVIANI, FERRY CORSTEN, ILAN BLUESTONE, PUSH, GABRIEL & DRESDEN, CHICANE AND MANY, MANY MORE

So here we are … and here it is. 25 years after the first took the mix comp scene by storm and set a new high-bar in the process, we’ve arrived at the twentieth ‘In Search Of Sunrise’. For a landmark occasion this momentous, an exceptional edition was required, and with a six-mix/disc/DJ odyssey, that’s exactly what series guardians Black Hole Recordings have delivered.

Before all that though, a little history!

With the millennium on the then horizon, October the 10th 1999 saw DJ Tiësto’s first ‘In Search Of Sunrise’ touch down into a glowing comp climate. Already trailing heat through his previous series (‘Magik’), anticipation was way high. However, its reception outmatched even Tiësto and Black Hole’s expectations, with the Dutchman mixing seven in total, before parting creative ways with the series.

ISOS returned in 2010 under the stewardship of one-time Tiësto protegee Richard Durand, who delivered six editions and introduced co-mixing to its dynamic. Having ‘visited’ India, South Africa and his native Amsterdam, sounds diverged once again and Richard departed the series in 2015, at which point it went on a well-earned three-year hiatus.

Doing away with the city/country hopping, but retaining the co-mixing dynamic, Markus Schulz became ‘Sunrise’s new standard-bearer in 2018. It’s a position he retains to this day, with ‘In Search Of Sunrise 20’ marking his 7th (Tiësto-equalling) outing. That DJ democracy has since allowed many other co-spinners to leave their ‘ISOS’ mark, Gabriel & Dresden, Andy Moor, Jerome Isma-Ae, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Kyau & Albert and Ilan Bluestone among them.
That brings us then to where ISOS stands in the late summer of 2024, when Black Hole revealed their plans for the 20th ‘Search’. Solarstone became the first of the six mixers unveiled, with Johan Gielen’s Airscape, Super8 & Tab, York, ZOYA and (naturally!) Markus followed in weekly succession.
Highest highs amongst its 100+ track highlights then!? Well, that’s a tough one, so maybe better to pinpoint some of the extraordinary legacy moments its six mixes touch on. York beginning his mix with his ‘Reachers Of Civilisation’ … as Tiësto did 25 years before him!? Unquestionably classy! Or indeed finishing with ‘Farewell to the Moon’ – possibly the most ‘In Search Of Sunrise’ title of all time!? Markus seeing out his disc with his ‘lost’ 2019 ISOS remix of Accadia’s undulating ‘Into the Dawn’ – would be another. And who could resist Solarstone calling back ‘Solarcoaster’, or Super8 & DJ Tab, ‘Helsinki Scorchin’ – prime movers in the ‘003 – Panama’ and ‘004 – Latin America’ editions!? Or Markus and ZOYA’s nods to Chicane, perhaps the most ISOS-embodying producer there is!? We could go on … (and on!) but at its core, ‘In Search Of Sunrise 20’ amounts to 6 DJs, 100+ tracks, 450+ musical minutes and 25 years of electronic music history, all celebrated through one milestone release.

The album is available to order now as a six-disc-boxset, six-mix digital release, triple-vinyl, and through all good streaming channels.
