Alan Walker pledges to release a new song every month to remain relevant in dance music

To beat the brief shelf life of popularity in the dance music industry, Alan Walker has vowed to release a new track every month to keep his name fresh.

The masked artist, Alan Walker, knows it is a dog-eat-dog world in the dance music industry. DJs, producers, and artists must continuously release or create a fresh sound to keep their popularity and auditory shelf life to stay relevant. Alan Walker is determined to keep his name at the forefront of the industry by releasing a track a month in 2024.

Walker told the Straits Times in their exclusive interview with the famed artist, “Music consumption nowadays is so rapid, and there is always so much new music coming into the market that you almost have to randomly feed your own catalogue to stay relevant.” Fans’ attention spans have dropped with the constant yet appreciated barrage of new music and new artists, so current artists are stepping up their game with fan interactions or frequent new music drops.

Having dropped 5 new tracks this year, Walker is off to a hot start. Gaining fame in 2015 with his track Faded, it quickly became one of the top-watched YouTube videos and along with belonging in the 100 most frequently Shazammed songs in February of 2016. Walker also released his latest album, ‘Walkerworld’ in the Fall of 2023 so he has been cooking for a while.

Many of his fans hail from Singapore, Hong Kong, and India, where he has a massive presence in the dance scene.

Walkerworld Asia is gearing up to be his largest tour yet with a stop in Singapore with 5,000 people in attendance. With his new album, tour, and frequent track releases; nothing can stop Alan Walker from greatness, and an insane catalog of music that continues to grow.

Hey! I’m Shiv!

Music is the greatest part of my life, I remember discovering dubstep when I was 15/16 and my entire life was altered – robot noises?? I needed MORE!

Now, I live in NYC and have seen over 60 artists of all genres; my favorites being Odesza, Subtronics, Rezz, Griz, Zeds Dead, John Summit and Kaskade. I am an enjoyer of music and will try everything once, I do not discriminate – there is beauty in all genres (minus country).

You can usually find me in a warehouse at 4AM because I am nocturnal and will quite literally never say no to a show.
