Following a prolific past few months, Danish producer MORTEN has without a doubt become one of the most hotly tipped artists working in the main room /
progressive genre. After a series of highly-impactful releases via
esteemed labels Armada Trice, Ultra and PRMD, the recent LA transplant
makes his debut on Dim Mak with “Ukali.“ We’ve been following MORTEN for a while now, even predicted he would make it big in North America for his gritty and edgy style. His music exudes originality.
Recurrently dropped at Tomorrowland’s Main Stage, the track has been hailed as the unofficial theme of the festival
– a triumph that sets the tone for his upcoming North American
performances at venues including Marquee in NYC, XS in Las Vegas, LIV in
Miami and Create in Los Angeles. Across the pond, MORTEN has been
lighting up the decks at the aforementioned Tomorrowland festival and
Aoki’s Playhouse at Pacha Ibiza, in addition to being hand-picked by
David Guetta to support the Frenchman at select dates at both Pacha
Ibiza and Ushuaia.
A tight snare beat, “Ukali” builds on top of a synth keyboard
riff, then the MF beat drops!
Long known in his native Denmark, MORTEN is determined to capture the North American scene, thanks to a decade of
experience and support from some of the industry’s most respected heavyweights – Avicii, David Guetta, Axwell, Showtek, Aoki and Carnage to
name a few. He rose to fame in Denmark thanks to hits like DOMESTIC (ft. Nik & Jay), NEVER SURRENDER (ft. Jay Colin) and who hasn’t heard LARVA (Far Away) ft. Rebecca & Fiona…
