In a rallying cry for world peace, German trance icon Markus Schulz has teamed up with electronic dance artist and philanthropist Sir Ivan for a new song, “Turn! Turn! Turn!”.
Via Schulz's Coldharbour Recordings in collaboration with Black Hole Recordings, “Turn! Turn! Turn! reimagines the 1965 song of the same name by illustrious rock band The Byrds.
The song fits well into the discography of Sir Ivan, who has become known for his covers of peace and anti-war songs from the 1960s and early 1970s. With a catalog spanning two decades, he has donated all profits net of his music to his nonprofit, The Peaceman Foundation, which he launched in 2005 to help combat post-traumatic stress disorder.
Like “Spin! Spin! Spin!” begins, listeners are immediately immersed in Schulz's timeless trance production. Sir Ivan's voice helps lead the way to a dizzying drop, which explodes with the help of infectious synths and a bassline as powerful as the song's message.
“In a world overshadowed by discord and unrest, the enduring message of hope can still resonate strongly: It is not too late for peace,” Schulz said. “This powerful feeling drew me to this song, compelling me to be a part of its narrative. In a landscape where division seems to dominate, the reminder that peace is still within our reach is not only timely but paramount. Through the gift of our bond With music we have the opportunity to amplify this message.”
“My hope is that the infectious song that Markus Schulz created will spread the lyrical message of peace on dance floors around the world and inspire its listeners to love one another,” added Sir Ivan.
