Steve Angelo V.S. DJ Sneak
House Music Beef With DJ Sneak Plays Out in Steve Angelo’s
Set: REALLY??
Now this is a review on an article that was recently written
in the Houston Press by Dennis Romero on June 9th. Also there is so much controversy over these comments made by Sneak on Twitter that there was an interview done to save face. A one on one follow up interview was made to clear it up both sides, but only Sneak complied to complete the interview. Angelo refused to answer the same questions Sneak took on under the publication BIG SHOT. So if you haven't heard about it and you are wondering what I'm talking about, there is apparently some controversy going
down about two amazing producers DJ Sneak and Steve Angelo. Steve Angelo is one
third of Swedish House Mafia and rather well known for his remix by Robin S.
“Show me Love”. Let’s also add that
Swedish House Mafia and Steve Angelo for that matter are very well known in the
commercial house genre. It’s a more trendy club sound that can be ranked in the
David Guetta realm with big build ups and vocal progressive tones. If you are a fan of Guetta then I suppose you enjoy listening to them. Then we have a funky bumpy L.A. producer, DJ Sneak
that calls their music "fake house music" over Twitter. Not the most professional statements to
tweet on I agree, and not many enjoy such slander. I know if someone called my music fake I wouldn't be so inclined to follow their music. But it's still an opinion, so Sneak doesn’t think it’s
real house music, and what is real house music to Sneak? So many define house
differently, even the writer Dennis Romero apparently, by his article in the Houston Press. In his reference, Steve Angelo
get’s wind and plays EDC 2012 and drops a track with a sample “tear the club
up” and another tune, “f**k haters”. This is meant to be some type of response
to DJ Sneaks remarks on Twitter and at the end of Steve Angelo’s set hands the
decks over to Erick Morillo, a New York Progressive House Legend. Steve Angelo
announces him as “the guy who taught him how to DJ in clubs”. So Romero explains what's a Puerto Rican DJ compared to a "Colombian DJ. Then the article
ends with a big, “Game Over” for DJ Sneak.
So Dennis, the article is a nice twist on some of this drama
regarding these amazing musicians, but where are you going with this? It’s
drama that really has nothing to do with what’s real
