Morgan Page: On The Road, In The Air, and Going Green

Page 2 of 2

RO: Are there any artists out there who you'd like to work with that you haven't connected with yet?

MP: There's always a huge list of collaborators. It's funny because we actually just reached out to Adele and she actually got back to us; her manager got back to my people. She was like, "Adele's just not doing any collaborations right now." We were just thrilled to get a response especially since she's having a kid.

But there are tons of people. In terms of other producers I really like Avicii and Afrojack. Maybe someday I'll do a proper collaboration with Deadmau5. He did a remix for me.

RO: Recently you wrote an article for the Huffington Post about the Tesla Model S and going green in the studio. Have there been any advances in going green on tour?

MP: At the moment probably no. There aren't any major steps I'm taking on the road, and it sucks because of the carbon footprint of all the flying and planes. Maybe planes will be electric eventually. Elon Musk, who owns Telsa and is making this whole car a reality, is building rockets at Space X so maybe he'll reinvent private jets of DJ travel.

RO: How about getting promoters to use confetti made out of recycled paper?

MP: That would be a good one. We did confetti for a while and kind of stopped doing that because it's really expensive. You'd think confetti would be cheap and would just be some commodity you could buy from China or wherever.

You see a lot less flyering now which is good. I always was kind of annoyed by seeing flyers on the street and in the gutter. Now everything is so focused on the digital world and doing Facebook ads. That's one good thing to see.

Morgan Page plays Stereo Live Friday at 9:00 pm, with Surain and Vance Lawrence.
