When One Last Tour happened and all three DJs went their separate ways, Steve Angello set out to create something with a little more spirit that what he believed to exist in the Dance hits of the early part of the decade. In an interview with Swedish publication Dagens Nyheter, Angello speaks about his work now only with artists he loves in a mission to teach lessons from his own story. Wild Youth has sounded promising so far, and we can’t wait for the full release on January 22.
” I just felt: I can make dance hits now. There is a special formula that always works. I wanted to create something that means more. Dance music wasn’t evolving or progressing like other musical genres were. Take hip hop, as an example, it always speaks about culture, religion, society and politics. Dance music has never talked about anything. There is no history. So I want to tell mine.”
Steve Angello continues by saying,
In all my collaborations I only work with artists I truly admire. It’s more like folk and indie rock music, such as Dan Reynolds from Imagine Dragons and Dougy Mandagi from Temper Trap – I have always been a huge fan of their vocals. We wrote all the tracks together and tried to tell a story through it; a simple question, “What do I want to tell them through the music?”.”
