David Guetta and MORTEN Release “Future Rave” Remix of “Let’s Love” With Sia
Last month the dream team of David Guetta and Sia reunited on “Let’s Love,” the uplifting, 80s-inspired synthwave track we all needed during these dark times.

It’s a masterful blend of mainstage appeal and dark underground techno flair. In July 2020, MORTEN and Guetta spoke to EDM.com about their patented sound and New Rave&...

Martin Garrix, Kygo, David Guetta, More Nominated for 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards
The list of the 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards nominations has arrived. In addition to the usual suspects, like Lady Gaga, who led the field with seven nods, and BTS and Justin Bieber, each of whom received five nominations, a number of EDM artists were also chosen. Nominated in the category of “Best Electronic” were Calvin Harris, David Guetta, The Chainsmokers, Kygo, Marshmello, and Martin Garrix, the latter of whom took home the trophy last year. It’s a bit disappointing to see MTV Europe basically nominate the most popular and safe artists in EDM without giving a nod or two to more unheralded and deserving artists, but that’s to be expected. Notable snubs include Duke Dumont, who unveiled his critically acclaimed debut album Duality&n...
