Global sensation Alan Walker continues his stellar run of releases with ‘Wake Up’, a polished, melodic and transcendent future house track featuring exciting Norwegian producer MRD – out exclusively on Monstercat – Keep an eye out for this track landing in Rocket League’s playlist today!

Following on from the success of Alan Walker’s recent release with iconic Norwegian vocalist Ina Wroldsen in ‘Barcelona’, the masked producer looks to the talent pool of his home country once again with the release of ‘Wake Up’ alongside MRD. Releasing on iconic label Monstercat, this music powerhouse pairing will work together for the first time, creating a full circle moment in the journey of Alan as a producer but also Monstercat as a label. After much time existing in similar circles, Alan and Monstercat finally combine to deadly effect on this brand-new single release – looking forward to seeing what else this collaboration will bring to light!

Alan and MRD combine to deadly effect on this dynamic and futuristic record, fusing their individual skillsets and influences into an expertly produced body of work. MRD, who is more recently known for his hyper-influenced sound, pushing the tempo with releases like ‘Midsommar’ with Narciss, brings his hardcore flavour to Walker’scosmic and synth-laden production, creating an innovative soundscape which will take listeners on a journey through time and space – a perfect sonic profile for use on Epic Games’ Rocket League!

Where ‘Barcelona’ was summery and warm, ‘Wake Up’ takes a colder, more cutting-edgeapproach, displaying the incredible versatility of Alan Walker’s production talents, dependent on the artist he works with. Walker’s signature atmospheric style is something that remains throughout his music, a unique calling card which is extremely evident in ‘Wake Up’, which feels like a trip through a tesseract in deep space. MRD has an impressive track record of releases, including five albums and countless singles, his best work coming last year with Løvehjerte – a full-length album full of hardcore bangers.

This releasecomes at an extremely busy time for Walker, with worldwide sold out shows week in, week out and an upcoming Walkerworld Tour across India, which is the biggest and widest reaching India tour ever by a Western artist of Alan’s stature.
