Steve Angello Headlining Friday GDF

Posted: 03.14.2012

The 10th anniversary of Global Dance Festival is a celebration of the past decade of dance music and a place for us to make even more unforgettable memories. We’re excited to announce that Friday night’s headliner for Global Dance Festival 2012 is Steve Angello. 


Steve Angello’s first big club hit, a remix of Eurhythmics' 'Sweet Dreams', propelled him to international fame in 2004 and his popularity continues to skyrocket.  Dance music fans know Steve for his ability to turn any tune into a dance floor banger - just listen to his much anticipated brand new original track “Yeah” or his remix of Robin S “Show Me Love” (produced in collaboration with Laidback Luke) and you’ll hear why his productions and remixes are dance-floor favorites. As the man behind Size Records, one of the most respected labels in the industry, Steve Angello has kick-started the careers of artists including Max Vangeli and AN21. 

Steve Angello is also one-third of Swedish House Mafia (with Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell); one of the biggest names in electronic music today. Since the summer 2010 release of their smash debut original production "One (Your Name)," Swedish House Mafia has continued to produce massive hits, such as “Save The World,” “Miami 2 Ibiza,” and “Antidote” (with Knife Party) and have toured all over the world, both individually and as a group.

We could not be more excited to have Steve Angello headline Global Dance Festival on Friday, July 20th. We look forward to seeing what he’ll bring to the decks for the 10th anniversary of Global Dance Festival!

After initially establishing himself as a Deep House DJ and gaining moderate success, in 2007 he adopted the moniker Wolfgang Gartner and switched to producing electro and tech house. The transformation helped him to creatively evolve his sound and he has since become recognized as one of the hardest working and most innovative artists in dance music.

With bangers like 'Space Junk and 'Illmerica', Wolfgang Gartner has injected a new element of creativity that takes his music to new heights.  “Right now, I feel like I have a responsibility to advance the genre,” he has said. “I have to come up with something completely new, that’s never been done before.” Wolfgang Gartner is known for surprising his audience, using rapid-fire samples mixed with solid hooks. He constantly experiments with his productions, meticulously creating unstoppable tracks that will throw you curves at every break.
