“Seeing how much support Future Rave is getting really shows that there is a desire for innovation, and it’s amazing to be able to continue this extraordinary journey with my friend MORTEN. We’ve been doing this for more than a year now and I’m really happy to see that the movement is becoming bigger and bigger everyday,” David Guetta says. “When we started ‘Future Rave’ we knew it would be an ever-evolving sound, that’s why we created it in the first place,” MORTEN adds. “As the sound develops, so does the universe and the culture that go along with it. ‘Alive Again’ is a product of that, it shows that we will keep pushing the boundaries and explore all the opportunities electronic music has to offer.”
