Markus Schulz

The votes have all been counted and it's official: DJ Times magazine and Pioneer DJ recently announced that Markus Schulz has been voted America's Best DJ for 2014. This is the second time Markus has taken home the award—he also won in 2012 — and he’ll be taking over the honour from 2013 winner, Kaskade.

The Miami-based DJ/producer – who is touring the world in support of his newest artist album ’Scream 2’ – will be honoured 12 October in Las Vegas at the ABDJ Award Ceremony/Closing Party. For his achievement, Markus will be presented with a special trophy – a personalised, gold-plated Pioneer DJM-900nexus mixer at Marquee Nightclub.

Markus Schulz: “Receiving this news is such an incredible honour. I have never been in this industry for the sole purpose of winning awards, and my biggest accomplishment in life is having the ability to connect and entertain those who believe in me and what I do on a daily basis. I’d like to thank everyone at DJ Times and Pioneer DJ for their continued support, all of the promoters who facilitate my passion in the clubs and festivals throughout North America, those who sacrifice in helping me achieve my dreams, and most of all, the fans, because without you, none of this is possible. Forever grateful for your love and support, and I look forward on our continued journey into the future.”
