Morgan Page Concert Review

Thank you K. West for the amazing photos!

A month ago I wrote about the promise of a dance party delivered by the music of Morgan Page, and last Friday night's concert was everything a dance party should be! While the venue gets an F- for how they handled check in and ticket collecting, Page more than made up for it with his show once inside.

It was exploding with energy as the enthusiastic, sold out crowd went absolutely nuts for every song. Hands were in the air, bodies danced and jumped, confetti and intermittent fog fell from the ceiling and I allowed myself to get lost in the euphoria of this incredible party. I'm never entirely sure what dj's do to make their sound with all of that impressive equipment, and I'll admit that I really have no idea what "mixing" actually entails, but whatever Morgan Page is doing and whatever he is mixing, he's doing it right. He's doing it incredible! The progressive house music pouring from his speakers and stage of electronics is impeccable. He played a mix of old and new tracks, evident by excited hollers and singing along of the audience.

Check out his new single, Body of Work with Tegan and Sara and get pumped for his album coming out later this year! Also check him out live whenever you can. Life should be a dance party and Morgan Page is mixing it!




P.S. If you didn't make it into the show as a result of Haven's poor planning and utter chaos (which is my nice way of saying complete shit show), let me know. Morgan's people are are working on a way to make it up to you (because they're awesome like that). In the meantime they have passed along this sweet set of free music! It is some of Morgan's favorite remixes from last year, including remixes for Underworld, Daft Punk, Florence & The Machine, and Temper Trap. Enjoy!

Morgan Page Concert Preview and Accidental Music Ticket Giveaway!

Morgan Page
If one of your new years resolutions this year is to make life more of a dance party (if not, it should be!), than you absolutely need to check out Morgan Page, who will be helping make life the dance party it was meant to be on January 27th at Haven here in Austin, TX. 

A native of Vermont, Page has come a long way in the world of electronic music and released In The Air this past August to much acclaim. It is a celebration of electro pop and dance club beats.  He has collaborated with multiple artists, including recently with Tegan and Sara, and BT, Sultan, Ned Shepard and Angela McCluskey on In The Air. He has produced close to 200 remixes. He said of his most recent album, "This record exists between the club and pop worlds with a little bit of indie thrown in there as well. I wanted to try some new flavors and attitudes, while keeping my sound intact. At the end of the day, it's really about the song. I want to make sure these songs stick in your head. While I was working on the album, I had the chance to road-test a lot of this material, and it was effective for the dance floor" (taken from press bio).
