After two standout records on Monstercat and Armada, respectively, he embarked on a Dim Mak takeover that saw him drop three mammoth electro house tunes during a momentous summer for the label. MORTEN began his onslaught with “FIYAA,” the YourEDM approved “bass house heater,” dropped during Kaskade’s EDC Vegas set. This was followed up with a remix ofGarmiani’s festival anthem “Bomb A Drop,” world premiered on R3HAB’s “I Need R3HAB” radio show. MORTEN then capped off the summer with his Steve Aoki collaboration “Kids,” which appeared on Aoki’s club-oriented 4OKIEP and in MORTEN’s Dim Mak Summer 2016 Mix. To celebrate the release of "Love," MORTEN recently did a Facebook Live session.
Jamaican dancehall legend Mr. Vegas has crooned his way to a fruitful career that has spanned over twenty years and numerous hit singles including “Hot Wuk,” “Heads High,” and many more. He has shared the stage with modern music’s most celebrated artists, including Brandy, The Black Eyed Peas, Trey Songz, Pitbull, T-Pain, Future, and Nicki Minaj. In 2012, Mr. Vegas took to the electronic world, lending his distinctive vocals to Major Lazer’s “Can’t Stop Now” from their iconic breakthrough album Guns Don't Kill People...Lazers Do. “Love” marks his second Dim Mak appearance, following his feature on Lady Bee and Noise Cans’ “Bucka.”
