An emotional expedition toward tomorrow, unfolding in three chapters across the summer of 2025. It’s not just a compilation. It’s a reimagination. For over two decades, In Search of Sunrise has been more than a series, it’s been a sanctuary for sonic wanderers; a space where emotion, beauty, and transcendence meet under one sky. Now, as the next chapter begins, Markus Schulz steps fully into the role of creative guide, evolving the series into something not just reflective, but visionary. “The world has changed. So has the music. But the need to escape, to dream, and to feel—that remains,†Markus says. “And that’s what this next era of In Search of Sunrise is about: building a bridge from nostalgia into a future worth believing in.†For the first time ever, In Search of Sunrise will roll out as three separate drops across the season - allowing each disc to breathe, resonate, and connect in its own time. First up is “The Awakeningâ€, which draws from organic textures, deep progressive rhythms, melodic techno, ambient atmospheres, and emotionally rich, pensive tones. It’s the soundtrack to your late-night reflections and early morning revelations. That will be followed by the emotionally euphoric mix “Nirvana†and “Nocturnal Voyageâ€, a late-night techno-leaning finale. The full vinyl and CD experience will also be available on that day for collectors and deep listeners alike.
