As the year begins to wind down, Markus opens the first chapter of his annual Year in Review - a tradition that reflects on the melodies, emotions, and defining moments that shaped 2025. Across these first two hours, Markus curates a journey through the tracks that resonated most deeply with the Global DJ Broadcast community: moments of reflection, discovery, and inspiration drawn from across the progressive, melodic, and trance spectrum. These are the sounds that carried us through the year - from the dancefloor highlights to the intimate late-night memories.

Part 1 showcases the beginning of the story: warm grooves, heartfelt vocals, deep textures, and the evolving energy that paves the way toward the more intense chapters still to come in Part 2. Thank you for being part of GDJB all year long - your passion and support make this journey possible.

Afterdark represents one of the purest expressions of who I am as an artist; the embodiment of “Dark Markus.” Inspired by the late-night portions of my open-to-close solo sets and the Down the Rabbit Hole club experiences, it captures those hours when the dancefloor transforms into something deeper, more hypnotic, and spiritual.

Every transition across this four-hour journey was carefully crafted; each movement and tempo shift designed to evolve naturally, guiding you deeper into the shadows. From driving energy to haunting melody, Afterdark 2025 is a continuous story told through sound, where no moment stands alone and every passage leads to the next.

This is music for the night people; the ones who understand that when words fade, flow is everything. It's the 11th year of doing this, and I hope you enjoy it as much as ever.

As the journey continues, Markus Schulz returns with Part 2 of his special Afterdark presentation; diving even deeper into the shadows of his sound. Across four hours, he crafts an intricate and twisted voyage through the darker corners of melodic techno, progressive, and driving trance; a testament to his ability to shape tension and emotion into a seamless narrative. Building upon the foundations of Part 1, this second chapter evolves with power, patience, and purpose - capturing the essence of Markus’ Afterdark identity at its most immersive.
