Watch David Guetta and MORTEN Talk Friendship and Future Rave

The DJ and producer duo teamed up to lead a new movement in EDM, releasing their latest single "Permanence" in January

French DJ-producing veteran David Guetta met Danish electronic artist Morten Breum aka MORTEN at a gym in Los Angeles and it sparked a friendship. MORTEN says over a video chat, “If I remember correctly, David, you came to me! I’m a little bit shy. He was talking about working out and stuff and in my head, I was like, ‘Let’s talk about music!'”

The next time they met was backstage at a festival in Belgium. Since then, it was a mix of networking and friendship that brought the duo together. In 2020, they launched future rave, a new style and movement in EDM which draws from underground techno, among other styles. While there was a remix of Guetta’s inimitable hit “Titanium” featuring Sia, the duo teamed up to release an EP called New Rave.

In January, Guetta and MORTEN dropped “Permanence,” an enigmatic future rave record that escapes easy categorization. There are techno grooves, operatic vocals and dark, buzzing synths which create an unreal sonic atmosphere. In this video interview with Rolling Stone India, Guetta and MORTEN talk about their journey so far with future rave, influences for the movement and whether they’ll bring their set to India.
