VICE: What's the story with you and Tomas? You've been mates for a minute, right?MORTEN: I’ve known Tomas since my first Distortion gig - I AM at Carlsberg. Think it was 2009? We are good friends now and I respect him a lot as an artist. Whenever he's in LA, we kick it.Have you guys been working together?We jammed a bit and made this hardcore techno track. Never got released though. We also produced a track together for his Filur project.What happened to the techno track? Isn't it coming out?Well its there and I play it when I'm out. Maybe we should release it for free. Tomas?"Pulsing" as a tune is probably a bit more indie than what you usually work with?I am not sure what's usual to me. I think I'm kind of all over the place, to be honest. This specific track, my manager fell in love with the vocal and then we decided to give it a shot. The original is so good, so it is a difficult assignment but I'm really proud of the outcome.I suppose a lot of folks back home in Denmark associate you with a fairly commercial sound. Why is that? The last couple of times that we've seen you, it's been pretty hard. Is that a concious decision?Don’t really know if my music is commercial, to tell the truth. In my earlier days I might have put a commercial artist on my productions - sure, but if you listen to the instrumentals it sounds like nothing else out there. Those track became hits because I was doing 300 gigs a year in Denmark alone. I was playing those tracks nonstop. But none of them were obvious hits - not even close. I don’t think any other dj played my tracks either. Me DJ'ing is pretty hard yes - because that's what turns me on behind the booth and gets me going.
