\n\tMeghan Mahar:<\/strong> \n\tSteve Angello: \n\tAnd that was Coachella in 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tYes.<\/p>\n \n\tI was there. Great show.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tIt was a good show. It was fun.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tVery fun. And you teamed up with fellow Swedish House Mafia member Sebastian Ingrosso for \u201cSkip.\u201d Would you say those songs have a similar vibe?<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tYeah. I mean, it\u2019s like that clubby energy, right? It\u2019s like the ravy clubby, gritty, little darker. It\u2019s that energy.<\/p>\n \n\tWhy did the two of you link up for \u201cSkip\u201d instead of it being a full Swedish House Mafia track?<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tI don\u2019t remember the process of it. I think we just, you know, studio one night made a song because we\u2019ve, you know, the history of us. Me and Ax used to do songs back in early 2000s like we\u2019ve always done together and all three and mix and match, you know?\u00a0<\/p>\n
We\u2019re here with Grammy-winning dance legend Steve Angello. You may know him from Swedish House Mafia, but he has plenty of solo work and more to come. Your new single\u00a0\u201cHooligans\u201d is out now.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
I was playing Coachella, and I needed that energy and that old ravy kind of Hoover sound. I\u2019m getting technical, but like the Hoover soundy kind of ravy sound. And then, yeah, it was like, straight made for the show. It was to get an effect. Vocals was chopped up for the light production. So it was like, super Steve Angello show music, you know. And then I decided to put it out.<\/p>\n
