Listen to Morgan Page 'The Longest Road'

Morgan Page is one of the most sough-after DJ/producers of the moment who has remixed tracks for marquee artists like Nelly Furtado, David Bowie, Coldplay and Stevie Nicks. Tomorrow, March 25, he will release his new artist album, titled "Elevate," on Nettwerk Records.

"Elevate" is anchored by the disc's lead single "The Longest Road" that features vocals by Lissie, an emerging Californian pop singer. "The Longest Road" hovers somewhere between laid-back folk rock and atmospheric dance music that invokes memories of vocal dance productions by Paul van Dyk, Tiesto and Gabriel & Dresden. "The Longest Road" is a remarkable track with a sweet indie crunch that not only shows off Page's production skills, but also his talent as a songwriter with a great sense of melody. The song surely will do well in clubs stateside and in pop charts overseas.

Page began composing electronic-oriented music at the age of 14 while growing up in a log cabin in rural Vermont. His work appeared on local college radio in Burlington, VT and soon after that he got his own radio show at The University of Vermont where he hosted a dance show every Saturday night. After interning with Rick Salzer at Plastic City in New York, he moved on to present a mix show at Boston's WERS 88.9FM where he ended up becoming a station manager.

After moving to Los Angeles, he continued producing dance music and remixing tracks that garnered him attention from top DJs like Sasha, John Digweed and Deep Dish. Also, corporations like Abercrombie & Fitch and Nike hired Page to mix up the music played in their retail stores. (Click here to purchase "The Longest Road" EP with remixes on iTunes.)
