2009 one of the best years of my life - Steve Angello. 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 Angellos 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. Its
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 Sebastian 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 renowned 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 DJs 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 Yearbook, 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 Monday is the track that is lined up as a 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.
