Sunset Music Festival Artist Spotlight: Morgan Page
One of the things we love most about festivals is when you can hear the voices of thousands of people singing along to some of the most lyrically beautiful pieces of dance music. And if there is any Sunset Music Festival artist who would know a little something about beautiful lyrics, it would be Morgan Page.
Growing up in a log cabin home in Burlington, Vermont, Page’s style has always been unique. Pairing poignant lyrics over his progressive keys and steady house beats, there are a melting pot of people who identify with Page’s sound. Page first started producing electronic music at the tender age of 12 after gaining an early exposure to the genre by a local college radio station that he would actually come to DJ for later. After Morgan Page took an internship at record label Plastic City, he started a steady schedule of releases on labels like Bedrock, Nordic Trax, Fiji, and Saw from 2000 through 2006. He eventually landed on Nettwerk Records which is his current home and his 2008 release Elevate thrust him into the spotlight.
Now that he has three studio albums and two Grammy Award and five International Dance Music Award nominations to his credit, Morgan Page has definitely established himself as one of the top producers of our generation. Songs like “Longest Road” and “Fight For You” have become classic anthems making it absolutely necessary to sing the lyrics at the top of your lungs if you ever hear them played out live. We can’t wait to sing with you at the Ra stage for Sunset Music Festival next week Saturday, May 25th. Buy your tickets today!
Presenting the Sunset Music Festival Main Stage Artist Schedule!
We have been steadily releasing the set times to our bass and trance stages at Sunset Music Festival throughout the week. To finish off our string of announcements, we are excited to present the last installment of set times for our main stage, Ra.
For the Egyptians, the sun represented light, warmth, and growth. So it is no wonder the sun god Ra was very important to the people, as the eye of Ra was seen as the ruler of all that was created. As Ra was one of the main deities of ancient Egypt, Ra will represent the main stage at Sunset and will feature David Guetta, Steve Aoki, Knife Party, Danny Avila, Krewella, and Morgan Page.
Come and dance with us at Sunset Music Festival stages Ra, Set and Isis in just nine days. Buy your tickets today!

The donation will also support supplies for readiness to help the organization respond to disasters in surrounding communities quickly and efficiently.
“Each year the Red Cross responds to tragedies like we have recently seen in West, Texas. We also give comfort and hope to individual families suffering from a single-family home fires. A gift to the disaster relief fund means the Red Cross will always be there to deliver vital help when disaster strikes. We are very grateful to Meltdown Music Festival for their generosity and support,” American Red Cross Regional CEO, Marty McKellips said.

Sunset Music Festival Artist Spotlight: Brass Knuckles
Sunset Music Festival outfit Brass Knuckles is unlike any other trio in dance music right now. Incorporating both live and electronic instruments to their music, we can’t wait to see Brass Knuckles do some damage on our Set stage next week. Have you bought your tickets yet?
The Miami trio consisting of Danny D’Brito, Tony Livadas, and Anthony Pisano don’t look at themselves as a DJ group but rather as a band. Fusing their hard-hitting elements of house, electro, pop, nu disco, and even rock, the group is a relentless force of irresistible vocals, death defying drops, and innovative instrumentation. The boys first came together in 2009 when old-time band mates D’Brito and Livadas met Pisano and instantly formed a bond. One day, Pisano came into practice wearing a shirt with brass knuckles on it. The image just clicked for D’Brito saying, “I’m thrilled Anthony wore that shirt on that particular day. The name represents us so well. The music is often tough and in your face. It makes an impression.”
It wasn’t long before the trio would start creating original material as well as creating a lot of remixes. Their 2011 track “Lie to You” became the catalyst to their initial rise, making its way to dance floors and music blogs around the world. The success of the track also lead to a global tour through Asia and Europe. Ultimately though, it was Brass Knuckles’ debut release Bad Habits on the revered Ultra Recordings imprint that would thrust them into the spotlight.
Currently traveling around the country, Brass Knuckles brings their Bad Habits tour to Sunset Music Festival, May 25th. Buy your tickets today!
