A high-octane reinterpretation blending MORTEN’s signature future rave energy with festival-sized emotion

After the explosive success of ‘Upside Down’, the progressive house anthem from Alesso, Sentinel & Sick Individuals that set dance floors ablaze worldwide, Danish DJ & producer MORTEN now brings his unmistakable energy to the track with a brand-new remix, out today via Tomorrowland Music.

Listen HERE to 'Upside Down' (Morten Remix)

Known for pioneering the Future Rave sound alongside Davi Guetta, MORTEN transforms ‘Upside Down’ into a high-impact, late-night weapon, amplifying its soaring melodies and emotional drive with darker textures, sharper drops, and an unstoppable momentum built for the biggest stages on earth.

Having spent part of the summer at Tomorrowland’s Lab of Tomorrow in Boom, Belgium , an inspiring creative hub where artists from around the world come together to write, experiment, and push sonic boundaries, MORTEN channeled that same collaborative energy into this remix. The result is a powerful and forward-thinking reinterpretation that keeps the heart of the original while propelling it into a new dimension.
“When I first heard ‘Upside Down’, I instantly felt its energy — that big emotional hook that connects with crowds,” says MORTEN. “I wanted to flip it, make it darker, more intense, but still keep that feeling that makes people lift their hands in the air.”
MORTEN’s remix of ‘Upside Down’ captures the evolution of festival music — where melody meets raw power, and emotion meets innovation. Expect to hear it dominate (after)parties alike as it continues to turn the dance world upside down.

MORTEN’s remix of ‘Upside Down’ by Alesso, Sentinel & Sick Individuals is out now on all platforms via Tomorrowland Music. HERE

A genre-blending anthem brimming with passion and intensity

Danish electronic music powerhouse MORTEN has teamed up with the acclaimed Swedish singer/songwriter Bonn for their emotional and high-energy new single ‘Take Me Home’, released on Tomorrowland Music today. A genre-blending anthem brimming with passion and intensity, ‘Take Me Home’ builds with cinematic tension and soaring emotion before erupting into a powerful, hard-hitting drop – an unmistakable signature of MORTEN’s electrifying sound. The result is an uplifting yet edgy track that’s destined to ignite dancefloors and festivals across the globe.




Bonn, known for his collaborations with Avicii, Martin Garrix, and Axwell /\ Ingrosso, brings his distinctive voice and emotive songwriting to the track, adding depth and storytelling to the dancefloor-ready production.

MORTEN: “I wrote Bonn a few months ago if he had any vocals laying around I could hear. He sent me ‘Take Me Home’ and I immediately fell in love. I did the production around the vocal and I sent him the track at night. He loved what I sent him. I tried it in my set and it became what it is today. I think it's very much my style, full of energy, but still has an edge and the uplifting vibe that I love. I believe Bonn wrote the vocal in Stockholm. I did the production here in Lisbon where I'm located right now, so you can say it's been produced across countries in Europe.”

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]David Guetta and MORTEN collaborate with Raye for the brilliant You Can’t Change Me. It's a highly energetic mainstage banger with thumping basslines, pounding drums and great vocals that will be super hard not to identify with and send your message to those who wish to change you and make you whatever they wish you to be. The climax reveals the fantastic euphoric synthy riff that is uplifting to the maximum taken from the early days of trance for sure. Great track for mainstages and clubs without doubts. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
