With “No Way Back”, Markus Schulz once again proves why he remains one of trance music’s most consistent and forward-thinking figures. Taken from In Search Of Sunrise 21, the track perfectly encapsulates the deeper, more introspective side of Schulz’s sound – hypnotic, restrained, yet emotionally charged.
Running at 130 bpm, No Way Back sits slightly below peak-time trance tempo, allowing atmosphere and groove to take center stage. A rolling bassline lays the foundation, while subtle percussive layers and evolving synth textures slowly pull the listener into a late-night state of mind. Rather than chasing instant euphoria, the track unfolds patiently, rewarding attentive listening with a sense of journey and a release of tension.
Released on Black Hole Recordings, the production feels polished and timeless – a hallmark of Schulz’s studio work. There’s a cinematic quality to No Way Back: moody pads, restrained melodies, and a controlled energy that feels tailor-made for long transitions in extended DJ sets. It’s trance that doesn’t shout but speaks confidently.
Markus Schulz has been a defining force in global trance for over two decades. From his long-running Global DJ Broadcast radio show to landmark albums and iconic festival performances, Schulz has consistently bridged the gap between classic trance roots and modern, progressive-leaning interpretations. His stewardship of the In Search Of Sunrise series further underlines his ability to curate immersive journeys rather than just collections of tracks — and No Way Back fits that philosophy perfectly.
