Featuring a roof-raising lead performance from Radio 1‘s 2022 Dance Awards Vocalist of the Year, in-demand songwriter Clementine Douglas, ‘Something To Hold Onto’ is guaranteed to send sparks flying on the dancefloor. To witness it yourself, you can catch the Future Rave duo every Friday at their Hï residency in Ibiza, with the single launch event taking place on 28th July. The pair are in peak form, having recently wowed the crowd at Brooklyn Mirage in New York with their iconic headline show.
With 800+ million streams across 20+ releases and remixes, David Guetta & Morten continue to dominate the music scene, not forgetting David as the 4th most streamed artist on Spotify. Guetta is fresh off of a legendary run, with over two billion streams combined for the smash hit ‘Baby Don’t Hurt Me’, featuring pop megastars Anne-Marie and Coi Leray, and streaming monster ‘I’m Good (Blue)’, which hit #1 on the UK Singles chart as well as in 15 other territories including Australia, Denmark, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
Over the past three years, the world-renowned superstar DJ & producer has teamed up with Danish phenomenon MORTEN to create a brand-new dance music culture by unleashing their pioneering ‘Future Rave’ sound. Emerging from their desire to play something new in their sets, the inventive genre reflects their vision on the future of electronic dance music: fresh and innovative. Both David & MORTEN are heavily inspired by the underground, and they have made it their trademark to bring sounds and formats from the underground and present it to the masses. With Future Rave, the duo is bringing the best elements of both the EDM and underground scenes together, while keeping the cutting-edge sound ever-evolving. Future Rave builds bridges between the energy and the hooks of EDM, the futuristic sounds of techno and the emotion of trance and (future) house.
After a sold-out US tour in 2022, which saw the pair perform at Exchange LA, Brooklyn Mirage and in front of millions on the mainstage of EDC Las Vegas, David Guetta and MORTEN took Future Rave to the iconic island of Ibiza for an astonishing 18-week residency at Hï Ibiza. This season, following an iconic show at the Brooklyn Mirage in May, the Future Rave excitement returns to Ibiza for a series of highly anticipated events.
