Markus is also well represented on the music release front where he’s picked up a nod for his eighth City mix-compilation, ‘Los Angeles ‘12’. From his 2012 artist album ‘Scream’, the Ana Diaz vocalled ‘Nothing Without Me’ is vying for Best Trance Track of 2012. His Coldharbour Recordings joins Ultra, Defected, Ministry of Sound, Spinnin’, Toolroom and parent-label Armada in the role call for Best Global Music Label. Following the IDMA’s announcement, Markus said: “Across all the areas of music I work in it’s been 12 magnificent months to remember and I’m delighted that the fans have seen fit to place me in so many IDMA categories this year. I look forward to seeing as many of them as possible throughout the course of Winter Music Conference, at Space and UMF. See you all in the Sunshine State folks!”
