On Friday 11th July, new Gallery resident Markus Schulz is back at MOS after his awesome 3 Hour session in May, as we simply couldn’t wait any longer to get the man from the USA back to these shores to do it all over again. Joined by a long list of trance talent from across the globe this week’s line-up is a true trance fans wet dream!! Markus Schulz was one of our success stories of 2007 headlining several Gallery events as well as kicking off our first month at the Ministry of Sound with a mind blowing headline appearance; proving that he more than deserves his position in the Top 20 of the DJ Mag Top 100. A US DJ with a difference, Markus’s appeal stretches worldwide whether it be his Global DJ Broadcast radio show that has become one of the most listened to and widely respected, or his impressive and ever consistent Cold Harbour Recordings label which has been responsible for a plethora of dance floor destroyers...

Markus is next in line to join the big boys league and it’s great to be able to call him one of our own. You can also catch him spin in The Gallery Stage at South West Four this summer! He’s joined (at MOS) by another one of the leading exponents of the trance sound, Andy Moor. Famed for his consistent producing talent including seminal trancers such as ‘Air for Life’, ‘Halcyon’ and recently ‘Year Zero’, on his personal imprint Ava Recordings, Andy continues to be a worldwide name to be reckoned with. Rank 1 jet in to add their heavyweight support, famed for their trance productions back in the day including Breathing (Airwave) and Awakening. More recently they were part of the smash hit that was ‘Life Less Ordinary’ and collaboration with Armin van Buuren ‘The world is watching me’. A rare chance to savour the wholegrain goodness of Rank 1, we would seriously advise you not to miss out on this one!! Completing this week’s main room marathon will be rising stars Paul Baxter and Aaron Styles.

Over in the Bar, music maverick King Roc leads from the front, capping off a massive last 12 months for this producer / DJ including remixing everyone from the likes of Future Sound of London right through to Above and Beyond with his trademark melodic but driving techno infused sounds. Joined by London sensation and Playtime pin-up Mike Monday who continues his good spell of massive DJ dates and steady stream of production, he is backed up by Graeme Lloyd of Subbass DJ academy fame and Matt Weeks who rounds off the action. The Baby Box again jumps around to the sounds of the Kidz Kollective and we look forward to The Gallery debut from Grin Recordings up in the Lounge.
