Best of the '00s: Steve Angello : Swedish House Mafia @ M2 - Friday, February 5th
by rhythmism
Thursday, Jan 28th 2010, 04:36 PMThe 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.

Best clubbing trend of the 00s
People coming out of clubs and coming to 'events' like the ones we do with Swedish House Mafia
Worst clubbing trend of the 00s
I was never into minimal that much ...I respect it....but it didn't rock my world
Best track of the 00s
Be!!
Best summertime anthem
So many.....this year its been Leave the World Behind....and I've loved Lake and Lys - La Tromba
Best NYC clubbing moment of the 00s
The last time I played M2 on Halloween was nuts for me as I don't see NYC much ....so for me that was amazing but also Electric Zoo...I loved that event
Album of the decade
Daft Punk - Homework...and yes I know that's not the 00's but I don't care. Its sick.
