Few artists have shaped the modern sound of dance music quite like MORTEN. The Danish DJ and producer, best known for co-creating the Future Rave movement alongside David Guetta, continues to redefine the boundaries of electronic music while touring relentlessly across the globe.
With his latest single “LUCKY” making waves on streaming platforms and a headline appearance locked in for ULTRA Miami 2026, MORTEN shows no signs of slowing down.
Speaking to us from Taichung, Taiwan, amid a busy tour schedule, MORTEN opens up about his creative process, his collaboration with Guetta, and how he manages to stay inspired while living life in constant motion.
Check out the full interview below!
MORTEN, thanks for joining us for this interview. You’ve had a packed schedule lately — where are you speaking to us from today? Are you on tour, relaxing at home, or enjoying some downtime?
Hey man, thank you for having me! I’m currently in Taichung, it’s a city out here in Taiwan! Just playing some shows and enjoying the city.
With a relentless tour schedule and a steady stream of new releases, how do you find balance and keep everything running smoothly?
Yes, this has been a fun year for sure, you’re correct, it’s nonstop. I have a great team around who help me balance it all, and I just really love what I’m doing, so that helps a lot! These are the things you dream about when you’re starting out in your career.
Your latest track “LUCKY” with David Guetta is doing really well on the streaming charts and downloads. Can you tell us more about this?
It’s always a great feeling when a song resonates with fans, so I appreciate all the streams and listens. You should see when I play it live, what an amazing reaction I’ve been getting from the crowd!
So on LUCKY, David Guetta and I worked on it over the summer, and we had a lot of fun testing it in our sets. We wrote the vocal using AI, which was quite a new and interesting challenge, but it was all worth it in the end.
The production itself has our signature sound and touch in the lead, but I would say it’s in a more lighthearted universe than what fans know of our Future Rave sounds, usually.
Ultra recently announced their Phase 1 of ULTRA Miami 2026 lineup and you’re a headlining artist again. What does that mean to you?
That’s a huge one for me, since playing ULTRA is always a massive opportunity for me to reach a wider audience.
Being in Miami at that time of year is something I look forward to, with so much of the community present as well, and we’re making our debut with this special B2B set with Deorro and Mike Posner, so all of us will be working extremely hard to have something very special planned for Ultra 2026!
As 2025 wraps up and 2026 approaches, what exciting things can your fans expect from you?
More music always. I’m finalizing a remix that I really love, and then preparing for a packed schedule to end the year with hopefully some super fun shows alongside other DJs that I love!
