Global superstars David Guetta and MORTEN reveal an electrifying new track “Lost In The Rhythm” following the successful release of their Episode 2 EP on their recently launched imprint Future Rave. This explosive collaboration showcases the continuously evolving, envelope-pushing ethos of Future Rave, with an added touch of trance influence. “Lost In The Rhythm” drops just two days after their highly anticipated, sold-out Future Rave show at the Brooklyn Mirage in New York, promising to leave audiences on a high and eager for more.
On the sold-out show, David and MORTEN say it “was one of the most special Future Rave shows we’ve ever played. We couldn’t have asked for a better crowd and vibe, everything was truly perfect! Every new Future Rave record we dropped was met with crazy reactions. Brooklyn, we’ll never forget this sold out show, thank you.”
David Guetta is a musical trailblazer and an international icon. Currently the #9 most streamed artist on Spotify globally and with 2x Grammys awards, 11x Grammy nominations, 7x UK number 1 singles, over 36 billion global streams, 50 million records sold worldwide, and over 72 million monthly Spotify listeners to his name, he has been voted the world’s best DJ in the DJ Mag ‘Top 100’ three times and won the accolade for best electronic artist at the MTV Europe Music Awards. To round off 2022 he won two awards at the LOS40 Music Awards, two awards at MTV EMA’s, the ‘Dance Act of the Year’ award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards and ‘DJ of the Year’ award at the NRJ Music Awards, and was additionally named #1 Producer by 1001Tracklists. Guetta closed out the year in Latin America, performing in Peru for a New Year’s Eve extravaganza before setting out on a huge tour in January.
After a year of huge hits, Guetta began 2023 at #1 on the Global Spotify Chart with current global smash “I’m Good” with Bebe Rexha. The track earned Guetta his eleventh Grammy nomination, receiving a nod for ‘Best Dance/Electronic Recording’, has garnered 1 billion global streams and simultaneously hit #1 at the US Top 40 & US Dance Radio charts. Guetta entered the 2023 awards season with nominations at the Grammys, iHeartRadio Awards, the QMusic Top 40 Awards, and at the Brits received a ‘Producer of the Year’ accolade in recognition of his production successes, and also delivered an incredible performance of hits.
Danish DJ and producer MORTEN has kept his incredibly innovative and trademarked sound ringing through platforms across the globe. His ability to transform his music between melodic, captivating vocals and his well-known, recognized snare and bass heavy drops set him apart from most artists. As the co-founder of Future Rave, and following his immense hits the last couple of years, MORTEN has created magical tracks in collaboration with David Guetta. He has gathered an audience of 4.7M monthly listeners on Spotify alone, releasing hit after hit with the Guetta-collab being on top 5 of the most played records in the world by DJ’s for weeks on end.
Playing an insane total of 147 shows across the world, releasing chart-topping tracks, launching the Future Rave label, and debuting on the white isle for his first residency alongside David Guetta at Hï Ibiza, there is little the Danish phenomenon didn’t achieve in 2022, but he’s pushed himself even further with singles like “The Drill” and “Unforgettable” in 2023.
