July 31st, 2024 — Global music icon Alan Walker continues his remarkable streak of releases with ‘Wake Up,’ a polished, melodic future house anthem that showcases his dynamic collaboration with fellow Norwegian producer MRD. This track, exclusively released on Monstercat, is also featured in the latest Rocket League playlist—don’t miss it!
Hot on the heels of his recent success with the single ‘Barcelona’ featuring renowned Norwegian vocalist Ina Wroldsen, Alan Walker once again taps into the rich talent of his home country, teaming up with MRD for ‘Wake Up.’ Released under the legendary Monstercat label, this collaboration marks a significant moment in Alan’s journey as a producer and Monstercat’s evolution as a leading label. After years of circulating in similar musical spheres, Alan and Monstercat have finally joined forces to deliver a track that’s sure to resonate across the electronic music scene—this is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting partnership!
‘Wake Up’ is a masterclass in futuristic sound design, blending Walker’s signature atmospheric production with MRD’s hardcore-inspired, high-energy beats. MRD, known for his hyper-influenced sound and recent hit ‘Midsommar’ with Narciss, brings his unique flavor to this track, creating an innovative sonic experience that will transport listeners through a journey of time and space—a perfect fit for Epic Games’ Rocket League.
Where ‘Barcelona’ radiated summery warmth, ‘Wake Up’ shifts to a cooler, cutting-edge vibe, showcasing Alan Walker’s incredible versatility as a producer. His distinctive atmospheric style remains a hallmark throughout, and in ‘Wake Up,’ it feels like a voyage through a tesseract in deep space. MRD’s impressive discography includes five albums and numerous singles, with his most notable work being last year’s full-length album Løvehjerte, packed with hardcore bangers.
This release comes amid a whirlwind period for Walker, with sold-out shows worldwide and his upcoming Walkerworld Tour across India, which is set to be the largest and most extensive India tour by a Western artist of his caliber.
