Sonny Fodera and Marten Hørger Team Up For Insomniac Records Release ‘Levitate’

December 11, 2023 By Chad Downs

London’s Sonny Fodera and Germany’s Marten Hørger are two prominent artists in the electronic dance music scene. They recently released a collaboration titled “Levitate” on Insomniac Records, putting the best of both their styles into one gorgeous house track.

Sonny Fodera has made a name for himself with his unique blend of house music. He has achieved success with global tours, performances at renowned festivals like Glastonbury and Tomorrowland, and collaborations with artists like Calvin Harris and Diplo. His recent sold-out show at London’s Alexandra Palace and a summer residency at Ibiza’s Amnesia nightclub have solidified his status in the genre, and then some.

Marten Hørger is known for his genre-blending fast-pace House Music style. He has worked with artists like David Guetta and Dillon Francis, performed at major events like Tomorrowland and Ultra Music Festival, and received recognition as the National Breakthrough Act of 2023 by Faze Magazine readers. This is just scratching the surface, but clearly the man is killing the game.

“Levitate” is a significant release for both artists. It marks Fodera’s return to Insomniac since his 2019 LP “Rise” and Hørger’s debut on their main label. The track is inspired by vintage warehouse music, featuring classic house chord progressions, lively percussion, and captivating vocal samples.

The song begins with resonant synth chords and an engaging vocal chant, creating an enigmatic and energetic atmosphere. It seamlessly transitions into a rhythmic four-on-the-floor incorporation, blending claps, percussion elements, and an tasty break, demonstrating their ability to craft intricate soundscapes.

“Levitate” is a dynamic journey through the essence of house music, showcasing the creative talents of these two dance music virtuosos. It serves as an invitation for dance enthusiasts to immerse themselves in its hazy atmospheres and hypnotic melodies.

As Fodera and Hørger embark on their upcoming tour, fans around the world eagerly anticipate the chance to experience “Levitate” live. This track both elevates and transcends the boundaries of contemporary dance music.
