“2009 one of the best years of my life”. Steve Angello.

Steve Angello needs little introduction. Most people will be aware that he is 33.3% of the Swedish House Mafia – the in your face and in demand elite collective of Sweden’s house music bad boys; Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso. Perhaps less well now is the fact that he is also the chief A&R and level headed label boss of his own record label SIZE, which has gained much Kudos recently.

He would be the first to agree that 2009 was his own self-proclaimed ‘year for music’. From the start he wanted to concentrate his efforts on creating good clubs tracks, and from the results you can see he did exactly as he promised. Make no mistake; 2009 has been Steve Angello’s year.

And what a year it has been, starting with a move to L.A everything he has done since has been big. News of his work travelled fast, and he was even invited to remix Britney and Madonna, choosing to turn them down in favour of working on his own productions. It’s not surprising; he is a self-confessed workaholic, focusing on creating and refining his own tracks, stating ‘I do not want to be known solely as the remixer’. 

The first part of his year was spent touring Brazil, The US and playing to 300,000 people in seven days in Australia. Later in the year his summer was spent in Ibiza promoting the hugely successful Monday nights at Pacha with fellow Swedish DJ partners Sebastion Ingrosso and Axwell, an event that succeeded in exponentially increasing his profile around the world.

Things really started to heat up in Miami where the debut of his most successful remix to date landed with an almighty boom. This was the debut of Robin S ’Show Me Love’ remixed with long term friend and fellow international DJ Laidback Luke. A record that was to balloon in size to gigantic proportions, almost to the point of being out of control. It repeatedly replicated the same crowd pleasing, hands in the air mega reaction where ever it was played, smashing the charts internationally and further pushing Steve Angello as world renound DJ. 

"It's a huge track as we all know," says Steve Angello. "It's just one of those tracks. It's done a lot of good stuff for me so I do a new bootleg of it every six months. The best thing about it is everywhere I go, it's the one track that everyone wants to hear. I may have played it 60,000 times but people still want to hear it!"

It did not stop there The follow up was equally as powerful as Angello, Axwell, Ingrosso and Laidback Luke proceeded with ‘Leave The World Behind’, another track that was instantly picked up by clubbers and DJ’s alike. Reaching No.1 in the Beatport charts, it became their best selling record for the first half of 2009. The tune deserved all the hype that surrounded it, considered by many as a perfect house track.

Angello felt that an album was needed to celebrate the year. The result was The Year Book 2009, an album that brings together all of his own big club moments from this year. This album is a collection of tracks that showcases his wide production range, from vocal house and trance to tougher techno. 
From the crazy horns of the Ibizan inspired track ‘Flonko’ to the epic trancey driving sound of ‘Monday’. Incidentally this is the track that is lined up as his long awaited single and which already has its own substantial Facebook group whose members have sworn not to shave until the track is released on 18th November. 

Another major highlight includes ‘Tivoli’ a peak timer that builds and flexes into a plethora of synths and white noise. Most of these tracks are engineered for explosive euphoric moments.

This is an album primarily aimed at providing ammunition for the peak time DJ, but also provides a contemporary soundtrack for clubbers and dance music lovers everywhere. 

Steve Angello will be performing at The Brixton Academy on the 6th & 7th November, a show that promises to exceed everyones expectation and is to be this year’s biggest dance music showcase.

Steve Angello - The Yearbook

Steve Angello makes a long awaited return to his own label with the massive summer anthem ‘Isabel’. Steve has been a busy man recently with the huge ‘Show Me Love’ hitting the top 20 in the UK charts. Alongside Laidback Luke and Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve is currently sitting at No.1 in the Beatport charts with the massive ‘Leave The World Behind’.
    
Isaobel sees a welcome return to Steve’s tech house side. Soaring synths and a heavy melodic hook are the order of the day here over a tight tech rhythm. The remix comes from hot property Kim Fai who turns in a deeper, more minimal version of the original.

Steve Angello returns to his own Size Records, only this time accompanied by his brother, AN21.
        
  Flonko is a massive, klezmer style track that has been bubbling under for some time and is now here! Essential new tune on Pete Tongs Essential Selection already, the sound of a gypsy summer is here. Still staying true to Steve’s recent tech sound, the underbelly of this track is tough and dark lifted but the klezmer melody. An absolute essential summer track!
