He is known for developing and creating the sound and style known as “future rave”, together with [[David Guetta]].

His professional music career started with his very own first track "Højere Vildere" with [[Rune Reilly Kölsch|Rune RK]], featuring the Danish duo [[Nik & Jay]] in 2008, but his track "Domestic" in 2010 was his breakthrough track, reaching No. 3 on the Danish Singles Chart. In 2009, he released his album ''Drop!'', followed by ''Nightclub Session'' in 2010. With a string of releases since then, Morten has explored the genre of "future rave".

== Biography == Morten has played festivals around the world solo and in collaboration with French DJ and producer [[David Guetta]]. The two close friends coined the [[future rave]] genre, releasing a four-track collaborative EP in 2020 titled ''New Rave''. Morten has gathered an audience of 4.7 million monthly listeners on [[Spotify]]. In 2021, Morten entered the [[DJ Mag Top 100]] as the highest new entry at number 39, and landed at number 20 on the 1001Tracklists ranking. In 2022, his music video for "Dreams" with David Guetta featuring Lanie Garnder won Best Highlight Video at Clubbing TV's Music Video Awards. In 2022 he played the mainstage at EDC Las Vegas and [[Tomorrowland (festival)|Tomorrowland]], as well as a residency in Ibiza with Guetta.

Morten has performed at some of the biggest festivals worldwide including [[Ultra Music Festival]], [[Electric Daisy Carnival|EDC]] Las Vegas, Sunset Music Festival, [[Tomorrowland (festival)|Tomorrowland]], [[Creamfields]], and EDC Orlando.

== Future rave == [[File:David Guetta and MORTEN live at Hï Ibiza in 2022.png|thumb|Morten (right) together with David Guetta (left) at [[Hï Ibiza]] in 2022]] {{See also|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 (magazine)|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."<ref>{{cite magazine|date=2019-10-03|title=20 Questions with David Guetta: Producer Discusses Making Money, Being Parodied on "SNL" & Bridging EDM with the Underground|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/david-guetta-interview-20-questions-8532032/|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]}}</ref>
