Sound Off With Meltdown Music Festival Artist Morgan Page!

We love how Meltdown Music Festival‘s lineup is so uniquely diverse. With different genres swarming around our list of talented acts, the one common bond tying them all together is a love of music. That love will take us down the longest road this Saturday when “We Are Finally All Together” at Le Grave Field in Fort Worth. Have you bought your passes yet?

One Meltdown artist who embraces that love of music, is Morgan Page. Page’s style has always been distinct. Pairing pop lyrics over his progressive synths and pounding four-to-the-floor beats, Page’s unique sound strikes a chord in the hearts of both dance music veterans and newcomers. Coming a long way from his log cabin home in Burlington, Vermont, Page has been nominated for two Grammy Awards and five International Dance Music Awards throughout the span of his career. A career that began from humble beginnings, Page started producing electronic music from the age of 12. His early exposure to the genre was inspired by local college radio station WRUV 90.1. Page later become a DJ at that very radio station, hosting a weekly mix show that introduced him to the wide variety of electronic music that came by the box-load.

Page began a steady release schedule after taking an internship at record label, Plastic City. From 2000 through 2006, a handful of 12″ singles scattered about on labels like Bedrock, Nordic Trax, Fiji, and Saw. Nettwerk Records, his current home stay, went on to sign Page for his 2008 release, Elevate, which featured songs like “Longest Road.” Elevate definitely established Page as one of the top talents of our generation’s list of dance music producers.

Now, with three studio albums, successful podcast, and sold-out shows around the world under his belt, Morgan Page is a name that isn’t going any where anytime soon. We can’t wait to have another night out on Meltdown’s dance floor this Saturday, April 27th.

Three Mixes to Get You Hyped for Meltdown Music Festival!

One of our favorite moments upon arriving to a festival, is when you’re pulling up and start to hear that “unts, unts, unts” growing louder the closer you get to the gates. A jolt of excitment overcomes you, and when you look out the windown, you realize the event you’ve waited so long for, has finally arrived! We are now only days away from having that exact feeling at Meltdown Music Festival. If you haven’t bought your tickets yet, you can still purchase both general admission and VIP tickets online.

And speaking of “unts,” are you as excited about the many hard-hitting and diverse acts about to take our stage as we are?

Delta Heavy

“DELTΔ HEΔVY x Speedboat Mix”

Delta Heavy has had a long tie to the dubstep and drum and bass community. Being a part of the new generation of artists to come out of legendary Ram Records, this Meltdown duo has been known to do some serious damage to dance floors around the world.

Why We Love It

If you’re wanting the massive, in-your-face Delta Heavy style, you might be disappointed. A far cry from their electro influences and slamming drums with razor sharp production, the Speedboat mix is a relaxed four-to-the-floor inspired mix. Yes, Si James and Ben Hallis take us on a house journey from start to finish, weaving in and out of the UK’s garage/bass trend and working in some techno, that gives a nod to the early 90’s, without sounding archaic. We love when DJ’s switch it up, and this detour mix definitely earns Delta Heavy some bragging rights.

Bro Safari

“Diplo and Friends on BBC Radio One”

About three months ago, the always entertaining Diplo invited Meltdown artist Bro Safari to come and share some air time on the popular BBC Radio One Syndicate.

Why We Love It

Anyone wanting to listen to this mix on a weak sound system, has some serious problems coming their way. There is an incessant amount of sub-bass that would probably shatter a glass, were it to be turned up completely. And that’s if you have a sub-woofer. With out that, you’ve still got a bass heavy (understatment) hour of Bro Safari seamlessly mixing trap, moombahton, electro house, and then miraculously back to trap. Featuring tracks from a few of our other artists, if this is what it’s like to be on a bro safari, count us in!

W&W

“Live at Ultra Music Festival Miami @ A State Of Trance 600 Stage”

Armin van Buuren once told the world to watch out for Wardt and Willem, the two making up Meltdown artist W&W. The Dutch duo has been on a whirlwind of successful releases, sold-out festivals and shows worldwide, and the honor of being hand-picked by Armin to play alongside him at the A State of Trance 600 stage at this year’s Ultra Music Festival.

Why We Love It

These boys certainly know how to control a room. Or should i say audience? W&W’s set from Ultra is a true, 100% festival set, filled with high-energetic drops, driving kick drums to keep you moving the whole time, and songs that make you want to hug and sing to the person next to you. Each song is placed in the set perfectly, so after the harder , soft, uplifting ones were to follow. Well-balanced and ready for any weekend playlist.
