Alesso is one of the best DJs and producers in the world and has produced some of the most iconic EDM tracks of all time. Over the years his sound has evolved, his style has changed, and he has masterfully adapted to the times and trends. With how his style has shifted over his career, we thought it was time to have a look back to the beginning to see how he has evolved as an artist and how he’s managed to continuously be successful for so long. He initially gained some recognition in 2010 with his ‘Alesso EP’ which caught the attention of Sebastian Ingrosso who contacted him about working together. From there on Ingrosso acted as a mentor to him and helped him improve his productions and DJing skills. Alesso found success incredibly fast with his remix of Nadia Ali’s ‘Pressure’ in 2011 that the likes of Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, Calvin Harris and Swedish House Mafia started playing it in their sets. This would kick off several years of unstoppable success for him with the releases of some of his most successful tracks. Only a year on from the release of ‘Pressure’, Alesso would collaborate with the legendary Sebastian Ingrosso to make what has become an absolute classic, ‘Calling (Lose My Mind).’ This track would gain him even more praise along with establishing his style of euphoric progressive house. However, he had more tricks up his sleeve which he would unveil with heavier tracks such as the addictive ‘Tear The Roof Up’ and ‘Clash’ that showed his insane talent for being able to hop between genres which he continues to do today. His rise to stardom came quickly as in 2012 he would join Madonna at a few of her shows on her ‘MDNA’ tour which really spread his name around the world. After ranking 70th on the DJ Mag Top 100 DJ’s list in 2011, he made a monumental 50 place jump up to 20th the following year. Over the next few years his reputation kept on growing and in 2015 he would bring together several years of work into the masterpiece that was his debut album ‘Forever’ reaching new heights as it would hit number 1 on the US Top Dance/Electronic Albums. After this success he surprisingly changed his style quite drastically to making a lot of chilled out dance pop, but he did find a great deal of success in this change. Most notably his collaboration with Hailee Steinfeld ‘Let Me Go’ garnered great critical reception reaching number 2 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart and has since crossed the 1 billion stream mark on Spotify. Also, in 2018 he would realise a lifelong dream as he got the honour of performing the closing set at Tomorrowland ending his set with ‘Calling (Lose My Mind)’ which made for an epic end to the festival. More big pop collabs followed with the likes of Katy Perry, Zara Larsson and Liam Payne though something else was starting to creep back into the picture. Alesso began to make a massively welcome return to his euphoric progressive house sound with releases such as ‘One Last Time’ alongside DubVision and the club mix of ‘Leave A Little Love’ with Armin Van Buuren. Gradually the epic house bangers started to outnumber the pop songs and the DJ from Stockholm started to grow back into the EDM scene. The last few years have now seen some of Alesso’s finest work with his beautiful progressive house anthem ‘Only You’showing his ability to draw out a whirlwind of emotions with his music and his fantastic ‘Hypnotize EP’being a haven of club bangers. He’s back to being one of the top EDM artists with him now climbing 19 places up the DJ Mag Top 100 DJ’s list in the last 2 years and also performing more huge headline sets at the biggest festivals in the world including closing out Creamfields in 2024. Alesso is undoubtably an icon of electronic music.

DGTL Amsterdam 2022 Photography by ©KIRSTENVANSANTEN 2022 The New Current Stage DGTL Festival welcomes the brand-new Current Stage this year, which will make its 2025 premiere on the famous NDSM hill. This stage presents a dynamic program with innovative musicians exploring – and pushing – the boundaries of electronic music while concentrating on eurodance and trance. Expect an enthusiastic blend of stirring sets and an unquestionable ecstasy throughout both days as guests savor panoramic views over the river and the enchanted sunset that puts the event in a rather spectacular light. The Current Stage seems to be a remarkable and creative addition to the celebration.

With their distinctive combination of trance, electro, and techno, DJ Heartstring will close on Sunday with a climax that will transport the audience into ecstasy. At this stage, the actors are strong, the energy is clear-cut, and the revelations are unexpected. The Sunday program Closing on Sunday in keeping with the New Horizons concept, the DGTL Festival celebrates connection, creativity, and vitality.

With the DGTL Safe(r) Project, DGTL started its path into the ideas of safe environments and festival ethics in 2022. DGTL will keep on that path for the edition this year.

The odyssey through the realm of consciousness might be reaching its end! As Afterlife Tulum kicked off 2025, whispers abound that Afterlife Tulum 2025 might be the last Afterlife event or the last set from Tale of Us. Why is it that these rumors are circulating at a time when Afterlife and the melodic techno sound it pioneered have become a global phenomenon? Let’s examine the signs. The Calendar A quick browse of the Afterlife website offers our first red flag. There are no events on the calendar right now, with Afterlife Tulum being the last (although Anyma’s Sphere residency has not concluded). Beyond this, there is not a single Tale of Us booking for a 2025 festival yet. Major festivals which have typically booked Tale of Us are now featuring Anyma, such as Ultra or Kappa Futur Festival. One festival that holds our biggest clue is Tomorrowland. Tale of Us has become a major staple of the festival in recent years, playing every year since 2017. Their Afterlife takeover has grown to occupy the Freedom Stage for both Weekends for two consecutive years. Tomorrowland even entered into a partnership with Afterlife for merchandise and then allowed Anyma to use his own visuals on the mainstage (which almost never happens). If Tomorrowland drops its stage hosts without Afterlife, then the worst has come to pass. We would not be surprised to see Anyma swap in where Afterlife would have been. The event calendar has been filled with Afterlife shows since 2016, the year Afterlife was founded. The same could be safely assumed for MRAK. Rumors suggest the cracks had started back in May last year when MRAK was accused of sexual abuse in Argentina. An individual by the name of Liliana Nuno took to Instagram to share her experience with Carmine Conte (MRAK). Nothing more ever happened publicly regarding these allegations, but whatever the truth may be could have had an effect on the duo. Many thought it was strange that Afterlife had no event in New York City in 2024, after the Brooklyn Mirage shows sold out three nights in a row in record time. Chemistry Fading The videos circulating from Afterlife Tulum do not offer solace either, showing a lack of chemistry between the pair. One could assume that the two are not speaking to each other after watching the videos. The same was observed during Afterlife’s show in Abu Dhabi last month. Social media is abuzz with these rumors as well. Many speculate that the success of the Anyma project is the source of the falling out, and that Carmine has not handled the situation well. The biggest red flag in this department is that Mrak did not perform at all during Anyma’s The End of Genesys residency. It’s unclear whether he was invited to or not, but it does not appear he even attended. Going Dormant A fan also pointed out that ‘it’s been 1,279 days since Tale of Us released an original track’. The Tale of Us Instagram page has not posted anything since the Tomorrowland recap post on July 23, 2024. Their last Facebook post is from July 9, 2024 at Kappa Futur Festival. A quick browse of Beatport reveals that the last Afterlife release was the MRAK EP released on October 4, 2024. Anyma’s most recently single ‘Angel In The Dark’ was released on a new Anyma label called The End of Genesys rather than Afterlife. His next single with Ellie Goulding is also set for release on the new label. Another very worrying sign. The signs seem to point to the journey through consciousness coming to an end, at least in its current form. We suspect there will be a nearly definitive answer to these questions when Tomorrowland releases its lineup over the next month. At that point there will be no more hiding if things are truly done. Some second-hand rumors state that they will stick it out for 2025 or some portion of the year and play out a few more shows, but either way it appears that the days are numbered for this beloved duo.

Drumsheds is one of the biggest and best clubs in the UK having hosted some of the biggest names in electronic music and boasting an incredible 15,000 capacity. However, recently the clubs future has been in jeopardy as their license has been under review by Enfield Council following some serious incidents. Towards the end of last year there were two cases of people dying due to drug use at the venue as well as someone being stabbed. An investigation into these incidents lead to the conclusion that Drumsheds had some big failings in their security procedures with people not being searched properly on entry along with a lack of care shown by the inhouse medical staff. This led to their license coming under review as the club was deemed unsafe. Thankfully Drumsheds has been allowed to keep their license as long as they follow certain conditions to ensure the safety of all club goers and staff. Searches upon entry are now much more thorough which has led to some complaints but will undoubtably make it a safer environment. There is also an increased police presence to ensure that any problems can be dealt with and that the response times can be quick which could save lives. Though some of the changes that have been implemented have made for longer queues into the venue leading to some people going as far as requesting refunds for their tickets, these changes are absolutely necessary to avoid anymore horrific incidents. Drumsheds is a cornerstone of the UK club scene and in an era where there has been such a catastrophic amount of clubs shutting down it would be devastating to add them to that list.

Pophouse Entertainment has officially acquired Axtone Records, the influential electronic music label founded by Axwell, the company confirmed to EDM.com. The acquisition deepens the existing collaboration between the entertainment investment firm and Axwell, whose influence as a member of the iconic Swedish House Mafia trio has defined a generation of electronic dance music. Pophouse, which in 2022 acquired the master recordings and publishing rights for Swedish House Mafia's catalog, sees the move as a strategic step in amplifying the band's global impact while bolstering Axtone's growth. Under Pophouse's stewardship, Axtone now stands ready to write the next chapter in the label's enduring legacy. "The partnership with Axtone is already in operation and opens new avenues for creative and commercial development, including supporting Axtone with specialist resources and industry knowledge to accelerate the label and catalogue’s growth and to enable Swedish House Mafia to realize more of their exciting music projects," Pophouse told EDM.com in a statement. A number of music outlets had erroneously reported that Axwell, whose real name is Axel Hedfors, was stepping away from Axtone as part of the transaction. However, the DJ is retaining a prominent role as Founding Partner and Creative Advisor, Pophouse tells us, and he "will remain very involved in supporting Axtone’s talent as well as continuing to release new material." Axtone has released many celebrated songs that are now considered generational dance anthems, including "Tell Me Why" by Supermode, a side project of Hedfors and Swedish House Mafia's Steve Angello; and "In My Mind" by Ivan Gough and Feenixpawl, which received an Axwell remix and garnered the producer a 2011 Grammy nomination. These cultural touchstones, part of a broader catalog spanning over 200 tracks, have cemented the imprint as a cornerstone of progressive house music. Pophouse's move to acquire Axtone is part of its broader mission to grow and invest in brands with global potential and deep ties to dance music culture. The company in 2022 purchased a majority stake in Avicii's music catalog and is now developing a musical about the late EDM icon, whose life was recently explored in a high-profile Netflix documentary.

Tale of Us‘ Matteo Milleri launched the Anyma project with an emphasis on the fusion of nature and technology, man & machine, and what it means to be alive. The Project launched to much fanfare as Anyma incorporated sophisticated NFT visuals which raised the bar for dance music show visuals. All of these elements were refined, expanded, and woven together to create The End of Genesys show, the very first electronic dance music show to take place at the revolutionary Sphere venue in Las Vegas. This was much more than a rave or a party, it was a cultural touchpoint and a revolutionary moment in entertainment that will reverberate far into the future. With this show, Anyma achieves the level of genius that many would assign to legends like Avicii. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever experienced, and it includes two completely different experiences depending on your location within the Sphere. Attention Off the DJ For years, a common refrain in the EDM community from veterans is that back in the day the DJ was in a separate room and people just danced, whereas today everybody stands facing the DJ as if it’s some idol worship. The ironic thing about The End of Genesys is that it highlights, in epic fashion, the genius of Anyma, while allowing him to fade into the background of the show. The gargantuan screen of the Sphere diverts your attention to the artificial atmosphere created around and above you. You will be constantly looking around, taking it all in. I was unaware when Grimes took the stage to perform a new collaboration live, because I was too busy looking around at the scenery. Sure you will notice the intricate platforms Anyma included for himself and his robotic musicians but they are but a blip in this digital universe before you. How you feel about this will depend on whether you view the show as a dance party or an opera. Some may find it odd to be so focused on the screen and the visuals, but it’s not anything like other visual techno shows. That Screen That screen! Oh my God, that screen! While Tale of Us and Anyma have made the big screens and gorgeous visuals a calling card over the past few years, the Sphere is an entirely different level. The sheer size and detail of these visuals is mindboggling. When there is a sky full of stars projected overhead, it really feels like the sky. The most gamechanging aspect of the Sphere screen happens right at the beginning (shown above). When the robot falls backwards into a void and falls upside down to become the Afterlife hanging-man, your body will respond physically like it thinks you are falling. That’s the moment when the power of this experience becomes apparent. It feels like a theme park ride where you sit in the car the doesn’t move but just tilts and vibrates with the screen in front. It tricks your brain into thinking you are falling or that there is a sky overhead, and more. Even with the simpler visuals utilized by the opening acts, the detail was staggering. You can’t help but examine every bit of it to try and make sense of what’s being displayed. Again, the visuals were so impressive that the DJs blended into the background while people in the crowd took in this revolutionary experience. Two Completely Different Experiences in One I was fortunate enough to have both prime viewing angle seats in Section 203 and floor tickets. The experience for these two types of tickets is completely different. If you have a seat you will have a prime viewing angle of the visuals and the scope of them will be fully apparent. The seats vibrate and even have audio built in, but for the most part people will be seated. Sure some people will stand up and vibe, but it’s not the majority. The seats provide an opera-like experience, where you watch the show like you’re in a theater. However, if you’re on the floor you feel the enormity of the screen so much more. Whereas the seats feel like you’re watching this cybernetic opera, the floor feels like you are living in it. The floor is definitely a more fun party-type experience where you can dance freely. Ideally, you’d experience both at some time or another. Narrative When the Sphere was completed, the EDM world speculated on the best artists for the space. Names that came up included Eric Prydz, Tale of Us, Anyma, etc, because these all include cutting edge technology and visuals. When discussing this with another industry colleague at the show, it came up that only Anyma has a narrative he is trying to convey using this very unique medium. While we love Eric Prydz HOLO, it’s more about the wow factor than it is telling any type of story to the audience. Here, Anyma took things beyond just cool visuals and technology. There is a narrative at work here during this five-part cybernetic opera, that explores themes so universal that they can be understood and appreciated by anybody there. While it might be difficult for somebody to tell you the story shown during this cybernetic opera, there is a loose narrative concerning the interaction of nature and technology, the differences between organic and artifical life, whether human and machine can love and care for each other, and the nature of life and death. The Music Anyma has, in a relatively short time, made a name for himself as a hit producer. Almost everything he touches turns to techno gold, and that was on full display at The Sphere. The show is mostly unreleased tracks, with each date featuring a unique collaboration premiere. There are also plenty of the most beloved prior releases (except ‘Running’ or ‘Angel 1’), but they are elevated by fully fleshed out visuals and a thematic tie-in for those tracks. ‘Consciousness’ was reworked and amplified to become this operatic theme that you won’t be able to get out of your head, and there was even at least one new remix of a prior Anyma track in there. The ID tracks were a delight across the board. Tracks like ‘From Japan’ had the entire crowd going wild to the sights and sounds, while the gorgeous ‘In The Dark’ and ‘You Make Me’ tugged at the heartstrings. There was a beautiful new remix for The Weeknd‘s ‘Blinding Lights’ which hints at more future collaborations between those heavyweights as well. The Future The coolest part about these shows is being part of history, an entertainment revolution if you will. It would be like attending the very first color movie theater screening or the type of revelation we all experienced seeing Avatar 3D in theaters for the first time. Being there for New Year’s Eve made it all the more special. In many ways, it felt like being at the center of the universe, and it was probably the hottest New Year’s Eve event in the world for 2024. As the clock approached midnight, the Sphere was dark and quiet during a changeover. As midnight ticked closer, Anyma took to the stage and the show began. Rather than the typical intro scene everybody has seen before, there were fireworks and the Las Vegas Skyline added in to make for a truly one-off experience that the audience will never forget. You realize during the show that this is an entirely new form of entertainment, like an interactive musical movie. The mind runs wild at the possibilities now that other artists have experienced this and could make a play for their own concept. While some may call it a gimmick or liken it to 3D movies that were only ever done properly by James Cameron, it feels like this is the future. You can envision a day when every city has a Sphere of one size or another like an opera house. We can’t wait to see what the future holds.

*Featured Cover Photo Credit: Drumsheds The illustrious London dance/electronic music hotspot, Drumsheds, had encountered dangers of going under because of unfortunate incidents that happened in the past year. According to an article from Mixmag, those incidents include a stabbing and two deaths that involved drug use. On January 8, the Drumsheds venue received an amendment that allows it to keep their near-1,500-capacity venue to operate that capacity. That amendment came from the Enfield Council, which granted permission to Drumsheds to remain open yesterday after the council conducted a license review of the venue. The London Centric publication added that the process of the license review from the Enfield Council had also involved members of the community who gathered at the council’s Civic Centre to discuss the future of Drumsheds in front of three councilors on the licensing committee. In the end, the councilors side with Drumsheds and allowed the venue to continue retaining their license and operate as usual with “modified conditions”. Drumsheds will continue to host nightly events and these modified conditions include varying levels of security at its gigs depending on the size and nature of the specific events. Shown below is the statement from councilor Susan Erbil on how Dreamsheds can still operate as usual but with the couple new conditions moving forward. Photo Credit: Drumsheds Councillor Susan Erbil explains how Drumsheds can still operate as usual with the modified conditions described in the license review “Enfield Council’s primary concerns remain the safety and wellbeing of its residents. Today, the licensing sub-committee heard the representations provided to them by the police and representatives on behalf of the venue management and agreed that the premises licence holder should retain their licence with modified conditions. Council officers and the police will continue to monitor the premises and undertake compliance checks but it is the premises licence holder’s responsibility to ensure the conditions are upheld.” The post Drumsheds Venue Remain Open Due to License Review appeared first on EDMTunes.

The fifth studio album Magickal via Crosstown Rebels by electronic music visionary Damian Lazarus has been released. Against industry standards, the album comes as a shock drop—bypassing the tradition of staggered single releases and instead providing the whole artistic experience from day one. With Magickal, I wanted to do things differently. I’ve sought to bypass the current trend of drawn-out single drops and fragmented album experiences. For me, this is about returning to the idea of an album as a complete, cohesive artistic statement—a pinnacle moment rather than an afterthought. After the release, we’ll explore the music further with singles, remixes, and a world tour, where I’m planning to present the album in some fresh, innovative ways. All to be revealed soon. – Damian Lazarus. The beginning: Day Zero in 2012 Day Zero, Damian’s fabled annual celebration bringing music, environment, and community together, falls in line with the release of the album designed to honor the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012. Since then, Day Zero has evolved beyond a mere celebration and is now a cultural cornerstone and benchmark for worldwide festival circuit immersive events. Set against the spectacular natural splendor deep in the Mexican jungles of Tulum, Day Zero deftly combines modern production and music with great regard for native culture, history, and customs. Day Zero sets a standard for how modern events could respect ancient traditions in relevant and modern ways by including rituals and customs in its programming while using ecological techniques. Reflecting the album’s themes of unity, transcendence, and the magical power of connection, this ethos not only inspires Damian’s creative vision and process but also forms the basis for the immersive world of Magickal – so providing the ideal launchpad for the LP. The new album: Magickal Designed amid a turning point in Damian’s life, Magickal captures his newly acquired sobriety and changed perspective, thereby guiding emotional depth and clarity into every song. With an outstanding slate of collaborators, the album explores worldwide inspirations while revisiting significant events from Damian’s whole catalog. Highlights include the flamenco-infused “La Hija De Juan Simón” with Spanish pair Méstiza and “Alive,” a mix of pop sensibilities and Damian’s unique sound with the Bloom twins. Along with Mathew Jonson’s virtuoso performances on “Are You Dreaming?” and Zoe Kypri’s lyrical vocals on “So Low,” other notable tracks include the amapiano-inspired “Warrior Dance” featuring Ghanaian singer Jojo Abot, “Falling Down,” a collaboration with TEED and A-Trak. Magickal Tracklist Searchin’ (feat. Jem Cooke) So Low (feat. Zoe Kypri) Why Don’t U Falling Down (feat. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs & A-Trak) La Hija De Juan Simon (feat. Mestiza) R U Dreaming? (feat. Mathew Jonson) Sunrise Generation (feat. Fink) Force (feat. Jojo Abot) Additional Singles: Alive (feat. Bloom Twins) Warrior Dance (feat. Jojo Abot) Magickal runs with ideas of mental elevation and musical inquiry. Inspired by events at sunrise, tracks like “Sunrise Generation” with Fink capture times of group wonder and spiritual uplifting. With brilliant lead single “Searchin” alongside Jem Cooke, whose partnership with Damian spans “Flourish” in 2020, dropping alongside the album and accompanied by a remix from Rekids head honcho, Damian’s ability to weave these emotional touchpoints with inventive rhythms confirms his reputation as a master of musical transcendence. Damian Lazarus around the world: festivals and clubs Along with a globe tour involving appearances at Coachella and more, further songs like the stated “Alive” and “Warrior Dance,” together with fresh edits and extensive remixes, will follow the release. Along with a series of performances by special guests and original activations for those in attendance, the Crosstown boss will also hold a special launch event at Nômade in Tulum (January 8). Damian Lazarus underlines his role as a leader in electronic music with Magickal, providing a rich trip into sound, soul, and connection. With well-known magician DEKAY accompanying him at a few chosen events to perform street magic and illusions for the audience, Damian will bring this sense of magic to his next album tour. Starting with Day Zero, the Magickal World Tour will see over 40 stops in Italy, Mexico, France, Spain, Indonesia, Turkey, Germany, Brazil, and more throughout four continents during the first half of 2025. Damian will headline legendary locations in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and El Paso on the US front in addition to his performances on the two Coachella weekends.

Oh, the irony of witnessing the setting sun by the shores with some Anjunadeep churned out in the background! The added incentive of witnessing this on the global label’s return to its ‘spiritual home’ is something to bask in. It does not end here. The winner takes all when this happens on a New Year’s Eve and the setting sun you witness is the last one of 2024. Goa, India testified exactly the same on the 31st of December, 2024 leading into the first sunrise of 2025. The renowned Thalassa in Ashvem Beach was the harbor of this miracle occurrence. Nox Vahn The melancholy of the deeper, progressive synths binding the air through the shores was evidently palpable. The likes of Anjunadeep mainstays Nox Vahn and 16 BL with their ingenious and stirring soundscapes have expectedly mesmerized the ones in attendance. Gracing the decks also was Anjunadeep veteran PROFF, who also serves as Anjunadeep’s studio head of production. His magical rendition of Orbital’s ‘Halycon’ was something to cherish. It set the tone for the magical evening to its glory. PROFF Ringing in the New Year with his brand of smooth & mellow harmony is UK based producer, Catching Flies. Local Anjunadeep hero, Parallel Voices, is the one responsible for deck duties while the last sun of 2024 sunk in. In comes the ‘dark lord of Anjunadeep’, Nox Vahn, with his grade of deep, shadowy riffs dominating the atmosphere as we approached 2025. 16BL (Ariaan Olieroock) rounded off the proceedings before an impromptu B2B with PROFF. 16 BL As Nox summarised, ‘this was the place to be’ on a New Year. A perfect backdrop of the setting sun in the evening. A seamless transition into 2025 with the aura of Anjunadeep combined with the waves crashing into the sand. Nothing to wish for more, nothing augurs better. A sense of satisfaction to the soul into the first sunrise of 2025. And a feeling of fulfilment of watching it unfold all live, at Anjunadeep’s own ‘spiritual home’. The post Anjunadeep Returned to its ‘Spiritual Home’ on New Year’s Eve appeared first on EDMTunes.

10 years on from its release ‘We Rise’ is now a certified gold record having passed the 500,000 copies sold mark only a few days before the start of San Holo’s 10-Year Anniversary Tour.

Steve Angello, one of the most influential figures in electronic music, has opened up about a pivotal shift in his mindset as he heads into 2025. For more than 25 years, Angello has lived a fast-paced life, relentlessly working without rest and never embracing the concept of “vacation.” For him, work has been the constant pulse driving everything—until now. In a heartfelt message, Angello revealed a profound realization, shutting off the noise isn’t an escape—it’s a necessity. This marks a significant transformation in how the artist approaches life, creativity, and his relationship with the world. For me, vacations aren’t about indulgence or adventure..They’re about stillness, isolation, stripping away the constant hum of the world, and reconnecting with the quiet that sparks clarity. For Angello, this revelation isn’t just a philosophical shift—it’s one that comes with actionable changes. He plans to embrace intentional isolation as a way to recharge and rethink his creative process. Rather than viewing solitude as a retreat, he sees it as an opportunity to deepen his connection to himself and his art. What This Means for Steve Angello This new chapter signifies a move toward a slower, more introspective rhythm for the Swedish House Mafia member. Angello identifies as an introvert, someone who thrives in solitude rather than crowds. It’s in this quiet space, he says, where his creativity breathes, expands, and thrives. Steve Angello Story By stepping back from the constant demands of the music industry, Angello aims to prioritize clarity and intentionality in his work. “To listen to my thoughts, let them guide me, and turn them into something tangible,” he explains. Angello has outlined concrete steps he will take to bring this vision to life: Fewer Commitments: He plans to take on fewer projects and focus only on those that resonate deeply with him. Time Away from Touring: Expect fewer appearances on stage as he dedicates more time to personal growth and creative exploration. Creative Exploration: In his solitude, Angello will explore new artistic directions and allow himself the freedom to experiment with different sounds and concepts. Reconnecting with Nature and Stillness: By removing himself from the hustle of daily life, he will seek environments that inspire reflection and spark creativity. What Fans Can Expect While this shift means Angello will likely spend less time in the spotlight, fans have much to look forward to. With more time to focus on his thoughts and ideas, his future projects are likely to reflect a deeper, more intentional artistic expression. “I’ll have so much more to say—and this time, I’ll be ready to say it,” he promises. Angello’s message is a reminder that even in an industry driven by energy and constant motion, there is immense value in slowing down. His decision to embrace stillness and isolation isn’t just about self-care—it’s a powerful step toward unlocking the next chapter of his creativity. Fans are eager to see how this shift shapes his music and vision in 2025 and beyond. The post Steve Angello Plans on Slowing Down in 2025 appeared first on EDMTunes.
