Celebrate the Trance-Filled Dawn with ‘In Search Of Sunrise 18’

Markus Schulz returns on the 18th edition of In Search Of Sunrise and rallies Matt Fax and Dennis Sheperd for additional mix duties.


Few series mean as much tot he community as In Search of Sunrise. What began under the then trance-focused Tiësto in 1999 still carries forth in 2022. Talent changed over the years – after Tiësto left the series in 2008, Richard Durand picked it up in 2010 and carried it forward for four years. Then, the search went dark until Markus Schulz took hold again in 2018, who carries it onward today.

As a compilation series, In Search of Sunrise ticks many of the boxes for trance fans. It offers moody Balearic vibes. It offers ecstatic moments of energy. It creates sonic caverns to get lost in, while it keeps the water ever flowing forward to move listeners towards the climatic moment. Once dubbed the “the Superbowl of mix comps” by Mixmag, this curation and experience remains paramount to the sonic craftsmanship of the talent at hand.

For the 18th hole of the course, Markus Schulz returns to guide us down the first rabbit hole in search of the next sunrise. Stuffing his mix full with 20 tracks, Markus keeps the vibes on point with tracks from Above & Beyond and Mat Zo, Purple Haze, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Mike EFEX, NOMADsignal, and Grum. He also tosses in some original pieces, including a collaboration with Ferry Corsten, and some classic remixes.

Next in line is the immense Matt Fax. This mix caters to the moody elements of the search for sunrise. Matt brings in works from Solarstone, Hoopoe, BT, and Eco, while also bringing his own works into the mix, including, like Markus, a few remixes of some very classic tracks in the trance world.

Finally, Dennis Sheperd weaves the final pieces of the sonic tapestry. Dennis spatters his own works about – including a few collaborations with trance legends like York and JES. Besides his works, Dennis brings in less familiar names like Hypaton, Florida Forgotten, George Jema, and Freak E Beatz. The journey unfolds evermore.

While the 20th edition of the mix is clearly on the horizon, this 18th edition sparkles with moods and tones to carry the summer onward. While we all chase that sunrise, at least we have yet another a brilliant soundtrack to chase the dawn’s rise one more time. Kiss the summer off in the only sensible manner by grabbing the sunrise in this soundtrack to dawn on Spotify or your preferred platform.
