Steve Angello... Disappointment.

he had a gig in slovenia yesterday. because the event was free and because i like some of his productions and sets (mixmag, mos sessions...) i thought i'd give it a try. his mixing was almost flawless but musically, it seems, i was expecting a bit too much. i thought i'd hear some fresh/unreleased/unknown tunes but instead listened to tracks i already know or i'm fed up with them. amongst others he played: love walking away, ian carey & mochito, eurythmics (ok, i tollerate that he plays his productions, but why the old and overplayed stuff steve?) i was hoping to hear "otherwise then" and "sexy fuck" on a big sound system but no, instead i got: rune - calabria and tomaz & filterheadz - sunshine. i left before he finished because i was afraid he would play "till west - same man" and "loleatta holloway - love sensation 06". if this would happen i would regret that i spent the money for the drive and didn't stay home watching the MTV dancefloor chart.

why does he do that? an artist of his caliber could play anything he wants and obviously this would be new, bangin(or not) tunes, not old and overplayed ones... the event organizers imo book superstars because they want to make the event special, in between other things that people could dance to music they can't hear just about everywhere or from any other local dj.

what are your thoughts on this?

Totally understand where your coming from, and i agree to some extent. Its probably pressure from the promoter/club to get the crowds in, so play the well-known house anthems to attract them.

Same issue happens with a lot of DJs, here in England, the likes of Judge Jules and Dave Pearce have good technical skills in my opinion (no matter what bashers say) but they choose to play over-hyped 'dance anthems' which send 90% of the noobs in the crowd crazy, and the 10% dedicated hard-core fans are left dissapointed.

Its not like they don't get promos Jules has been caning Team SR - Leaving London exclusively for months before others got onto the act.

srsly... 5.6 mm?

about your question... he played for the masses... if you say it was free gig, i'm sure a lot of music noobs were there... he knew it as well, if he would play less known, more "underground" tracks he could be missunderstood by audience

i know exactly what you mean but there were mainly party people from which you could see that they wanted more. and filterheadz isn't exactly mainstream... and the local dj who played before him, played exclusively underground and the people went nutz.

That sucks.

You were wrong to expect anything decent from Angello in the first place.

His sets have always been pretty bad.

I liked the Angello & Ingrosso EM from last year the first time I heard it. But that was only because I hadn't really been exposed to electro tech house too much and it was all new to me. Then upon second listen I realized how shallow that set was.

From then on I've tried a couple other solo Angello sets and they never were really good at all.

That EM was the inspiration for my post

Angello & Ingrosso.. ok

but Prydz ftw!

Steves been in a huuuuuuuge dip lately. It's like he doesn't even understand what the people want anymore. I'm sure hes friggin' tired of spinning those tunes. The same thing is happening with Axwell too, although he has at least some new songs... Sebastian Ingrosso & Eric Prydz seem to be the only ones that are really inspirational in their sets lately (Mafiawise), and Seb is basically just playing the stuff from Refune, Size, and Joia.

Ok, I never want to hear you complain about Armin, or mostly anyone else you dislike who has a samey looking tracklist as they are only playing what's on their show that is "party rocking tunes" and "playing what the crowd wants to hear". Do you ever notice how inconsistent you are? It's nearly laughable how attached you are to your Mafia.

With each new day it becomes more and more clear that your understanding of what it is to be a DJ is blinded entirely by your desire for money. All a DJ is to you is something to market - Or someone to market music.

You and your much of your precious mafioso are no more than a cancer on the scene. It's because of you that I thank God every day that clubbers are fickle individuals with short attention spans, so that guys like Steve Angello can be built up to the status of Gods one year only to be torn to shreds the next.
