Morgan Page, Sultan + Ned Shepard, and BT – In the Air feat. Angela McCluskey [Hard Rock Sofa Remix] by nettwerkmusicgroup

Morgan Page appears in Billboard Magazine’s “Happening Now” section, the magazine’s spotlight for artists on the rise. The anthemic “In The Air,” a collaboration between Page, Sultan + Ned Shepard, BT and featuring Angela McCluskey on vocals, has exploded since its debut – reaching #1 at Billboard Hot Dance Airplay Chart.

“In The Air” is Page’s first #1 hit, despite a long history of Top 10 successes. Believe--Page’s 2010 follow up to Elevate, which featured break-out single "Longest Road" and fellow chart topper "Call My Name"-- continues to be a fixture on the iTunes Dance Albums chart with two former Billboard Hot Dance Airplay hits: “Fight For You” and “Strange Condition.”

On October 15th at Avalon Hollywood, the golden child of the EDM scene, Grammy-nominated Morgan Page was joined on stage by a flood of special guests - Tegan & Sara, Sultan + Ned Shepard, Andy Caldwell, Jonathan Mendelsohn and Angela McCluskey - with American Idol's Blake Lewis starting things up with a DJ set. The show comprised mostly of Page’s originals and remixes – previewing a number of tracks from the forthcoming 2012 studio album.  To check out more photos from that night, see below and/or click HERE.

Like his contemporaries (Deadmaus, Girl Talk), Page put steroids into his live production to marry the audio and visual experience for his fans. As part of the set up, Veokami, a video technology company, teamed up with Page to build a crowd-sourced, interactive “recording” of the performance so that fans around the world can share the experience from start to end and from multiple camera angles. Fans were asked to bring their video cameras and record the night, and Veokami will stitch the footage together to create and share a single live piece.

The latest release from Grammy-nominated remixer and producer Morgan Page is a mélange of dance music all-stars. A collaboration with Sultan + Ned Shepard, BT and featuring Angela McCluskey (Telepopmusik), the track titled "In the Air" is the first single (out July 5 on Beatport.com) from Page's upcoming studio album, set to drop later this year. Page has said that "In The Air" is about capturing the excitement of being in the moment. Volleying from BT, Sultan and Shepard's unique live instruments into gorgeous synth swells, the song is as expansive as it is enthralling. And as for Angela McCluskey's vocals, they can only be described as hauntingly powerful. Fun fact about "In The Air": McCluskey had a unique approach to penning the lyrics by clipping out magazine headlines.
