Concert Report: DJ Morgan Page (Firestone Live)


Great to be back at Firestone Live on a Saturday night!
Arriving to find the rapidly up-and-coming DJ Maor Levi (IL) in the booth which was last night brought down to floor level below the stage!
Nothing too experimental in his mix; straight-out House/Electrohouse hits one after another!
Which the rapidly-growing crowd appreciated!
Levi is part of Morgan Page's tour for the next month.
And he's a signed DJ/Producer for Anjunabeats record label.
Spotted backstage:  DJ/Producer Audien (USA), getting ready to head down to the booth.
And taking over around 11pm.
As the crowd continued to grow!
Audien played at Roxy last February.  His biggest hit is "Leaving You" ft. Michael S. The DJ booth was moved down so that Morgan Page's 3D video monitor wall could sit behind it.  But it brought the crowd much closer.  Typically the DJ booth at Firestone is a good 20ft. from the edge of the stage, making it often difficult to see who's playing.
Although his entire set featured vocals, there were a lot of unknown songs (to me) in the mix and he was truncating most of them whereas Levi played them out.
Spotted: Mr. & Mrs. Deadmau5.
Visiting with Morgan Page in the not-so-green Green Room.  He says tonight's concert in Gainesville has been cancelled because of some issues with the venue.  Looks like it was supposed to be held at Skate Station there, an odd choice to begin with considering the large number of clubs there that play EDM.
Finally the moment everyone was waiting for.  Put on those 3D glasses!
The twice Grammy nominated Electrohouse DJ Morgan Page (USA)!
And the music played while swirling graphics and words floated out into the club's space!  Not sure how they produced the 3D effect but it definitely worked!
Dancing in the lighting tech booth!
Hard to get pictures in the haze at this point!  Morgan Page has had a number of Dance hits the past few years, the most well-known being breakout song The Longest Road ft. Lissie (Deadmau5 Remix) and Fight  For You.
With this 3D concert tour taking place, he won't be at this year's Electric Daisy Carnival - Orlando.  He played in Orlando at both other EDC's.
And as the music played-on, a good time was had by all!

Page was the dood that caused the riot in LA a few years ago because he was going to Dj on a flatbed trailer rolling through downtown LA and when he sent a tweet about it, the streets were mobbed and the cops had no idea what was up. His newest track Atmosphere is pretty good and Ultra Records is promoting it fairly well at radio.

That was not Page, that was Kaskade. Atmosphere is from Kaskade too.

Kaskade will be playing in Orlando for the first time ever at Electric Daisy Carnival. He's the headliner DJ on Saturday, November 9th on the Kinetic Field main stage.

Both are soft-spoken American DJ's that are often confused for each other.
