We love a good full circle moment in a producer’s career, and that is exactly what VIVID has experienced after releasing his second collaboration with the fabled progressive house producer Morgan Page. The track is called “Fade Away,” and it’s the ultimate feel-good single that will help you remember the simpler times in life. It’s the perfect follow-up to the duo’s 2019 Armada Music smash “Fire & Gold.” “Fade Away” combines the high-energy style fans have come to know and love from VIVID and the melodic production that is signature of Page. The emotive vocal performance paired alongside the kinetic drop makes for a well-balanced single. If festivals were still thriving, this track would for sure be making its rounds...

To celebrate Father’s Day this year, we connected with some of the biggest artists in dance music, who shared their fondest memories of their father or their children. Break out the tissues because there are some tearjerkers. NGHTMRE “A few years back it somehow worked out that I was playing Sunday of EDC and it was Father’s Day! I flew him out for the weekend and had him hop on stage as a special guest for 1 song. Without thinking much about it I called him “Papa NGHTMRE” over the mic and he has since adopted the nickname. As we walked around the festival after, fans came up to ask for pictures with him! It was a great memory for both of us.” c...
Morgan Page and Mark Sixma evoke a strong sense of nostalgia on their new collaborative single “Our Song.” The two veteran Armada Music producers, both hitmakers in their own right, combine their affinity for bright, uplifting melodies, reminding listeners that summer days are just around the corner. After hearing the storyline-style vocal, Sixma reached out to Page knowing that together, the two could take their ideas to the next level. The veteran producers exchanged versions of the song remotely—Sixma from the Netherlands, and Page from his studio in Los Angeles.
