Steve Angello is without a doubt one of the most respected and prominent figures in dance music today. In his many roles as a producer/remixer/DJ, label boss for the acclaimed Size Records, head of the Size Matters event brand and as one third of the recently disbanded Swedish House Mafia, his influence is woven into the fabric of electronic music as we know it today. With a matchless list of credentials to his name, on Saturday he returned to BBC Radio 1 to take the helm of their revered Essential Mix, taking the lead for two hours of upfront, exclusive and undiluted music.

Having just completed Swedish House Mafia’s final show by rounding off their world tour with a spectacular farewell performance at Ultra Music Festival in Miami last week, and with big plans both as a solo artist and for Size Records this year, Angello is about to embark on the latest exciting chapter in a constantly evolving career and so the timing couldn’t be more apt to deliver such a clear statement of intent and a taste of what is to come over the course of this year and beyond.

Now with his full attentions turned to his solo career and the burgeoning Size family, which is this year celebrating a landmark ten years in the game, it is undoubtedly a busy time for Angello and clearly one in which he is relishing. Over the course of his two-hour mix, Angello masterfully sculpts a journey through Size material, SHM hits, exclusive edits and a selection of material from like-minded contemporaries.

Coming off the back of their most exciting year yet, in which they played some of their biggest shows to date across the world and released a steady stream of Beatport topping club hits that has continued seamlessly through the start of 2013, Steve Angello and the SIZE stable continue to make an indelible mark on the world of dance music. However, while others may take this opportunity to sit back, Angello remains as restlessly motivated and unpredictable as ever.
