Morgan Page x Mark Sixma – ‘Our Song (Orjan Nilsen Remix)’
“I’ve always been a huge fan of Morgan Page’s and Mark Sixma’s work and when I saw they had a collaboration, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to put my touch on it. Both the melody and the vocal set me in the mood for summer and I really wanted to have an anthem version of it even though we don’t really have festivals right now. I guess it’s the one way of bringing myself closer to that festival-vibe feeling during these challenging times. I loved the result, I made it a bit more trancy and I hope people will love it as much as I do.”
