| Steve Angello has announced his intentions to start stepping away from the festivals and the big rooms and dive back into the underground scene that gave him his start in dance music.
“I really miss the club scene,” said Angello prior to his opening night at LiFE in the SLS Las Vegas where he is to hold a monthly residency. “I miss the culture. Everything has become so festival-driven now. It’s fucking retarded. You’re seeing all this new talent coming through but no one has to go through the club scene.
"It irritates me. I grew up a DJ and a club head, and I used to come over [to the UK] with Eric Prydz like 15 years ago. And I used to play all these little rooms in Brighton, Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow and it was such a great club scene for me to come up in because you learn so much, but I feel like that’s all been forgotten. Nobody is paying their dues in the clubs."
He went on to explain his emphasis on this club education with the young artists that are signed to his label Size, and how he's trying earnestly to convince them to shun the big stages in favour of the underground experience of working small, intimate rooms.
“I’m trying to push the artists on my label to become more club-orientated. Some of them think I’m evil! We have an artist right now that’s getting really big and is being offered lots of festivals and I said ‘Listen, your next tour is a club tour’ and he was like ‘Fuck that I don’t want to do a club tour’ and I was like ‘You've got to. We’ll do it small. 150 people, great soundsystem, no LEDs, just back to basics.’ Now he’s actually getting more excited about because it’s something different!” |
