The momentum has been building on Steve Angello for some time now. whether it is his worldwide smash tracks like ‘Tell Me Why’ with Sebastian Ingrosso and ‘Be’ with Laidback Luke or as the A & R supremo for Size Records, Steve is consistently at work, perfecting his craft. As his latest album Yearbook can attest, Steve's career encompasses some of house musics finest moments. Angello favorites like "Leave the World Behind", "Show Me Love", and "Be", along with 6 new productions are featured on the release, which is available now. It is this kind of work which leads Steve to perform to packed houses around the world. Recently, Steve performed one of the most talked about sets at the 3rd Annual BPM Festival. Putting hands in the air throughout the venue, Playa del Carmen immediately felt Steve Angello's magic DJ touch.

Despite his solo accomplishments, it is his collaboration with fellow countrymen Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell as the Swedish House Mafia which may be what Steve Angello is most loved for. From their successful Pacha Ibiza residency to multiple sold out dates at London's Brixton Academy, one thing is certain...a night spent partying with the Swedish House Mafia is a night not soon forgotten. Steve and the Swedish House Mafia will be making their long awaited New York City debut at M2 Ultraloungs as Area Event brings them to town on Friday, February 5, 2010.
