In Search Of Sunrise 21: Mix 2 (Nirvana)
The second mix of In Search Of Sunrise 21 is available now.
With an added pulse to its energy and a spike in its intensity, the reimagination of ‘In Search Of Sunrise’ continues with ‘Nirvana’. As the sun dawns on ISOS’s Next Generation Of Dreamers, Markus Schulz has given the journey a new direction and a new format.
‘Nirvana’, 2025’s second In Search Of Sunrise outing, drops August 27, bringing a chef’s kiss selection of auditory moments crafted to elevate the soul, and encapsulate peak summer!
“The Awakening was about setting the stage—giving all due space and depth to its overture,” Markus says. “But ‘Nirvana’ is where the magnitude is properly turned up! This one’s more for the nights that don’t slow down – where the music pulls you in and keeps you locked there, lost in the beat and the crowd. We’re diving deep into that feeling – the one where the music’s all-consuming, and time becomes irrelevant.”
While its predecessor laid the groundwork with more atmospheric and progressive textures, ‘Nirvana’ surges with rapturous energy, locking in the power of house, progressive techno, and a peak-hour feel. It’s a journey that builds momentum with each track, capturing the exhilaration of the night, all in anticipation of summer’s zenith.
‘Nirvana’ features a roster of icons and fresh production names alike. Expect tracks from Röyksopp, Ferry Corsten, Kyau & Albert, L.S.G., Mike EFEX, Eelke Kleijn, Robert Nickson, Daxson, and of course Markus himself. The mix also spotlights the ISOS stars of tomorrow—Hellmuth, nümind, Shadow Assembly and more.
“‘Nirvana’ casts in the clearest possible light where we’re heading, not just with this ISOS, but with the series as a whole,” Markus continues. “As a complete 3-mix unit, I want this ‘ISOS 21’ to speak to fans both established and new. It’s time to bring together the legends who have shaped the scene with the future innovators who’ll carry it forward.”
Your journey into ‘Nirvana’ begins August 27, with the enigmatically titled Nocturnal Voyage capping the summer on September 17. For those seeking the full experience, physical editions of In Search of Sunrise 21—including The Awakening and Nirvana—will be available on CD and vinyl, also from Sept 17.
