In their latest collaboration, “Culture,” MORTEN and ARTBAT deliver a track that seamlessly blends their distinctive styles into a compelling melodic house and techno masterpiece. Released on May 30, 2025, via Insomniac Records, this 127 BPM track is a testament to the duo’s ability to craft music that resonates deeply with the electronic music community.
The genesis of “Culture” traces back to a creative session in Lisbon. MORTEN reflects on this collaboration, stating, “The collaboration took place in Lisbon during a creative session. The track has been energizing the dance floor in our sets for a few months now. We wrote the lyrics with passion and love. The concept of culture is particularly significant today, as everything seems to be quantified by streams and numbers. However, at its core, it all comes down to the music and the culture that thrives within the scene.”
“Culture” is characterized by undulating synth leads, pulsing basslines, and moody atmospherics. The track’s assertive vocal hook, “Do it for the culture, fly high like a vulture,” encapsulates its energetic and rebellious spirit. This combination of elements creates a soundscape that is both immersive and invigorating, making it a standout addition to any DJ’s setlist.
Danish-born and LA-based, MORTEN has been instrumental in pioneering the ‘Future Rave’ genre, a fusion of underground and mainstage sounds. His collaborations with industry giants have solidified his reputation as a forward-thinking producer in the electronic music scene.
Hailing from Kyiv, Ukraine, the duo ARTBAT, consisting of Artur Kryvenko and Vitaliy “Batish” Limarenko, has been a driving force in the melodic techno landscape since 2014. Their innovative productions and dynamic performances have earned them spots at major festivals worldwide, including Tomorrowland and EDC.
