## Future rave

Since 2019, David Guetta and Morten have explored a dance music sound known as "future rave". Emerging from their desire to play something new in their sets, the duo intends to bring the elements of both the EDM and underground scenes together, combining the energy and the hooks of EDM, the futuristic sounds of techno, and the emotion of trance and (future) house.
David Guetta commented on their collaboration in a Billboard interview: "Morten came with this sound, and it's so hard to find a new sound. Then I have more experience in making chords and melodies and structuring records, so it's been really interesting to be able to kind of complete each other. I think what we're doing doesn't sound like anyone else. It's really fresh and new and I'm so excited about it. DJs I play it for are excited about it too. I haven't been excited about dance music like this for a long time."
In 2022, the pair went on a US tour including a set at EDC under the title Future Rave.

## Hï Ibiza Future Rave residency

On 8 April 2022, David Guetta and Morten announced that they would have an 18-week residency at the club Hï Ibiza on the island of Ibiza in mid-2022.
