“Put Your Hands Up 4 Detroit” counts as one of dance music’s biggest tunes, defining the radiant house sound that dominated the zeroes. The song not only proved a benchmark for the burgeoning Dutch house genre (soon to become internationally recognized), but also brought Fedde Le Grand into global attention, further solidified with hit records like “Let Me Think About It,” “Back & Forth” and “Rhythm Of The Night.”
As Fedde Le Grand continues to make waves until this day, so does his breakthrough tune. “Put Your Hands Up” just keeps getting picked up by new generations of festival crowds, receiving fresh remixes and reworks by various artists, making it one of electronic music’s most principal tracks.
Enter MORTEN & David Guetta, who have created a whole new monster with their self-coined future rave sound, blending genres like techno, progressive and big room into a captivating style for today’s mainstages.
By now, their sound has earned over 1 billion streams, with tracks like “Dreams” (feat. Lanie Gardner), “Titanium” (Future Rave Remix), “Kill Me Slow” and last year’s “Kill The Vibe” creating a buzz among festival crowds, setting a new industry standard with the music’s groundbreaking style and productional approach.
With MORTEN known as arguably Denmark’s most pioneering electronic artist, headlining major festivals all over the world, and Grammy award winning phenomenon David Guetta as his counterpart, their teamup (including their hugely popular FUTURE RAVE label) has caused a ripple across the scene, pushing the music forward with innovative, futuristic vibes.
