As the year begins to wind down, Markus opens the first chapter of his annual Year in Review - a tradition that reflects on the melodies, emotions, and defining moments that shaped 2025. Across these first two hours, Markus curates a journey through the tracks that resonated most deeply with the Global DJ Broadcast community: moments of reflection, discovery, and inspiration drawn from across the progressive, melodic, and trance spectrum. These are the sounds that carried us through the year - from the dancefloor highlights to the intimate late-night memories.

Part 1 showcases the beginning of the story: warm grooves, heartfelt vocals, deep textures, and the evolving energy that paves the way toward the more intense chapters still to come in Part 2. Thank you for being part of GDJB all year long - your passion and support make this journey possible.
