Following on from the recent release of ‘Wake Up’, Alan Walker returns to drop the rest of the Neon Nights EP, featuring a number of different sounds, show-stopping features from Lova and bludnymph, as well as an accompanying in-game event with Rocket League!
At such an exciting time for Alan Walker, the worldwide dance music artist is ecstatic to release his Neon Nights EP exclusively on Monstercat this August! Monstercat, who have a massive digital footprint in the gaming and technology world, also release huge records from global artists like Nicky Romero, Vikkstar, Marshmello and more. Now, as two powerhouses of the music world, Alan Walker and Monstercat finally combine for the first time ever on this brand-new EP, arriving as a match made in heaven for this release in collaboration with Rocket League as part of their similarly named in-game music event that Alan is headlining! Neon Nights is a four track EP, in which each song possesses its own unique sonic profile, taking influence from future house, dance pop and even drum and bass.
The EP will be featured throughout Rocket League’s in-game music-themed event, Neon Nights, where fans will be able to earn and purchase songs from the EP as their very own Player Anthems and hear them in rotation on Rocket League Radio. It’s not just the music however, players can earn Walker-themed items for completing Neon Nights Challenges: score ten goals in Online Matches to unlock the A.W.

Lead single from the EP is ‘Beautiful Nightmare’ with bludnymph, one of the main voices in the Canadian indie-pop and alt-rap scenes. Touching on elements of drum & bass and breaks, ‘Beautiful Nightmare’ is a departure from Alan’s usual style and the quality of this release is testament to the Norwegian superstar’s versatility when it comes to dance music production. bludnymph, who is known for her unique fusion of alt-rap and pop sounds, has only been releasing music for three years and already the young vocalist has an array of successful releases under her belt, including her two 2023 EP’s ‘DROOL’ and ‘SEX MACHINA’. Her fast ascension up the ranks lead to her recent single ‘Self Destruction Mode’, working with giants of the game The Chainsmokers. The production is liquidy, free flowing and energetic and features a quirky yet catchy vocal performance from bludnymph, making for a beautifully composed vocal drum & bass banger – a perfect soundtrack to Rocket League endeavours!
The masked producer looked to the talent pool of his home country with the release of ‘Wake Up’ creating an innovative soundscape which takes listeners on a journey through time and space.
‘Lifeline’ with Lova is an emotionally charged ballad featuring Walker’s signature dance-pop production and a show stopping, angelic vocal part from Swedish singer/songwriter Lova. This track feels like a continuation from ‘Unsure’ with Kylie Cantrall, another track which followed the classical Alan Walker recipe, something which the fans long for!
The final song on the EP ‘Club Leclerc (Racers Mix)’ is a light-hearted nod to one of Alan’s favourite F1 drivers and friend Charles Leclerc, taking inspiration from this viral TikTok video and sound, which has been viewed millions of times and used by celebrities like Camila Cabello. Alan and Charles initially created a connection via their interaction on social media. ‘Club Leclerc’ adds a high-octane exclamation mark on thea star-studded EP!
Alan Walker’s EP ‘Neon Nights’, featured in Rocket League, is out now on Monstercat.
