Steve Angello @ Congress 11-26-11

Steve Angello SIZE MATTERS @ Congress Theater 11/26/11

My next backlogged collection is from Steve Angello’s 2011 live show at Congress Theater in Chicago during his SIZE MATTERS tour with Max Vangeli & Angello’s younger brother, AN21.  The show was one of the best I went to this year and among my top 3 all time.  I’m typically partial to heavy electro and hard house for personal listening, but this concert gave me an intense appreciation for a lighter house style; the clubby progressive house styles Angello and Swedish House Mafia are known for.  Within a week following the Thanksgiving break show, I had added 2 gigs of music to my collection including a majority from the show’s setlist and pieces from artists like Axwell, Alesso, Hardwell, Dirty South, Tommy Trash, and Thomas Gold who I had seen for the first time earlier that break.  This collection is a must have in your collection and much more than a live setlist.  And remember EDM fans, MyShuffle is greater than yours…

Carl Cox @ NCMF 9/3/11

This is the first of a few belated posts I’ve decided to add to this blog.  MyShuffle has long been a mental work-in-progress and the culmination of a number of friends who have asked me for music.  One of the collections I threw together was from Carl Cox’s North Coast Music Festival set at Union Park in Chicago.  The set was about an hour long and the absolute highlight of our day among other greats such as Major Lazer, Zed’s Dead, Fatboy Slim, and an excellent live electro performance by Felix Cartel.  NCMF was the first time I’ve seen Cox live and heard his unique British house style.  There is something about the way the jolly giant bounces with his upbeat set.  He’s been one of the longest in the game and his experience shows.  His selection was all uniquely Cox including classics like “Percolator” and “Let Me See You Work”.  I tracked down some of the other hits from his setlist for you to enjoy here:
