Steve Angello took to Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 broadcast to celebrate 10 years of success with friends old and new. Before jumping into the music, Steve spoke upon topics such as the final tour of Swedish House Mafia, the future of his solo career, and his upcoming album Wild Youth, which he revealed will be ready for March 2013.
Prepared with a trip down memory lane in the form of a minimix, ’10 Years of Me & My Friends,’ turns back the clock, reaching into the archives of the past decade for tracks with colleagues such as Eric Prydz, Laidback Luke, and of course, Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso. Listen to what Mr. Angello had to say in an interview with Annie Mac and listen to his latest minimix — tracklist below the break.
Editors Note: Steve gives optimism to the upcoming winter season, claiming “dark brings disco.” We hope the Mescal Kid is right.

Coming off the release of “Yeah” earlier this month, Steve Angello builds upon Size Records’ domination with a collaboration from within his own camp. Teaming up with Third Party, “Lights” is an anthemic banger that comes in tremendous volumes. Steve’s revamped sounds from the 2012 version of “Yeah” collides with Third Party’s mastered big room sound — most similarly to what we’ve heard on “Thank You” — for what is due to become an instant chart-topper. Tested and proven at the likes of Size in the Park and EDC NY, “Lights” is a unanimous festival-favorite, so head over to Beatport and claim it for yourself today.

Before Steve Angello’s 2012 “Yeah” was released as an anthemic hit earlier this month, the track went through a series of facelifts during a two-year production process. Turning back the clock, the 2011 version is the Steve Angello we’re more familiar with, featuring hard-hitting bass, rock-inspired leads, and trademark grunge at the forefront. Angello is giving away this edgier version of “Yeah” for the small price of an e-mail registration, so head to Size Records’ site to claim the download as your own.

Size Records and its progressive masterminds are continuing their blazing hot streak with the upcoming release of Steve Angello’s Third Party collaboration. “Lights” is the epitome of anthemic house, boasting powerful builds and big room synths while embodying signature progression. Steve’s influence is apparent with the relative sounds from “Yeah” and Third Party’s contribution is comparable to their festival friendly “Thank You.” We’ve heard this track work wonders on massive crowds from Jonnie and Harry at Size in the Park and Steve at EDC NY, and it will finally make its Beatport release on October 26th.
Before Swedish House Mafia became known as ‘the dots,’ the crew had a strict dedication to club music, deeper house, and still included member Eric Prydz. Dating back to 2005, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso had frequently collaborated under a moniker of their own — Buy Now — producing club savvy hits for their hometown scene. It’s not often we get to see the Swedes in their traditional form, but Steve and Seb’s 2005 Essential Mix has captured that sound and made it timeless. Clocking in at just under two hours, the time machine of a mix is just what you would expect from Steve’s Mescal Kid persona and Sebastian’s version of the same. (more…)
Steve Angello has been cooking up a special production for two years, and finally, “Yeah” has seen the light of day. As previews of various rock-inspired versions have leaked during the song’s production process, the final effort comes with just the right sound at just the right time. Having been a work-in-progress since “Knas” was released in 2010, “Yeah” portrays Steve’s evolution both as a producer and a DJ.
“I just did this new version. I feel it’s more suitable for what I play and how I play — it’s more me.”
