Cease
and Desist
by Justin Kleinfeld
Emerging producer / remixer / DJ Morgan Page makes history
by self-releasing Cease and Desist, the first white-label
house music album ever! The album features 100% unauthorized
house music versions of popular tracks from artists including
David Bowie, Esthero, Sam Phillips, The Kills, and Wax Poetic
feat. Norah Jones.
Each mix takes the original in a new direction: melting
genres and blurring the lines between mainstream and underground
appeal. From Coldplay’s funk laden "White Shadows,"
to the epic strings of Antone Dvorak’s "Symphony
#9" Cease And Desist is bound to change a few minds
about electronic music and garner a few friendly lawsuits
in the process. A technically skilled producer / remixer,
all of the album was produced using Pro-Tools in his studio
in Silver Lake, Los Angeles with only one of the split tracks
provided!
In 1999, Morgan Page was working in college radio and remixed
"Angels" by Wax Poetic feat. Norah Jones, using
the acapella from the 12" single. The band (including
Norah herself) loved the mix and it was passed around Atlantic
Records' offices. Morgan began creating more of these unauthorized
mixes adding his own style by layering live bass and guitar
to add a warmer sound to the mixes. Soon, he began to receive
a tremendous reaction to the mixes from radio DJs, club
DJs, and music supervisors (Morgan’s tracks have been
featured in national campaigns from top retailers including
Adidas, Subterranean, Arden B, Nike, Chanel, and Nine West.)
To date, Morgan’s tracks have been supported by many
superstar DJs including Sasha, Deep Dish, Danny Tenaglia,
Dave Seaman, Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed, Mark Farina,
Jason Bentley and Roger Sanchez. In fact, his track "Landline"
was recently signed to James Zabiela and Paul Sidoli's Hearing
Aid Records.
Now, at age 24 with several remixes under his belt and
dozens of critically acclaimed EPs out on labels like Bedrock,
SAW, and Nordic Trax featuring collaborations with Colette,
Gregory Shiff, and Astrid Suryanto - Morgan has established
himself as a profound producer and highly sought-after remixer.
