Expert DJ Setup with Tune My Music and Markus Hart

Markus is pure Berlin techno DNA. A 90s raver to the core, he started his journey when Trezor, Berlin’s iconic techno club, opened its doors, diving into the scene from the very beginning. With an audio engineering diploma and a sound studies master from Utica, Markus combines technical knowledge with decades of DJing and music production experience. We asked him a simple question: What’s your top tip for DJs, whether they’re just starting out or already deep in the game?

A Setup That Cancels Distractions

“Inspiration can hit anytime,” Markus says. “When that happens, I want nothing to interfere with the flow of creativity. So, it’s really important to have a simple yet powerful setup”

Markus recommends using Spotify to discover tracks because, let’s be real, the UI is unbeatable, and finding new music is effortless. Then, switching to Tidal for the actual DJing—its compatibility with most software and hardware makes it a no-brainer. Tune My Music sits in the middle and ties it all together.

Markus explains, "You have two choices. You can open Tidal and manually recreate all your playlists—which will drive you insane—or you can use Tune My Music, and in just a few clicks your entire music library will be in Tidal, and you can start enjoying DJing”

New Music, New Sets

For Markus, getting ready for a set means having his music ready in Tidal without lifting a finger. Manually adding tracks breaks the creative flow, and when your mind is locked on crafting the perfect set, distractions are the last thing you need. That’s why the Tune My Music sync feature is an absolute game changer.

"...it doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or a pro, when you DJ, you want to feel like you’re in a record store, with all your music there—that’s the flow of creativity every DJ needs"

For Markus, DJing is so much more than playing music. It’s about self expression and connection. Having the right setup helps him clear his mind focus entirely on the music, be in the moment, and connect with the audience. That's what DJing is all about.
