The House Party’s Over: Swedish House Mafia’s Steve Angello Gets Personal on ‘Wild Youth’

Once one third of the biggest EDM outfit on the scene, Swedish House Mafia, Steve Angello has experienced what it feels like to headline arenas and festivals for tens of thousands of people. Now he wants to know what it feels like to be away from the “machine,” which is what he says Swedish House Mafia became at the end due to the band’s massive following. So on his new album, Wild Youth, Angello has traded in big-name collaborations and “club bangers” for a much more personal statement on the last three and a half years of his life.
