Steve Angello Talks New 'Wild Youth' Album, EDM's Mainstream Influence

Steve Angello is prepping his first solo album in more than a decade and got the word out as one of the headliners of Voodoo Music + Arts Experience 2015. Despite being one of the biggest acts at the New Orleans festival, the former Swedish House Mafia man tells Fuse he's more focused on being creative than a chart-topper.

"Making this album has just been about forgetting everything and being like, 'You know what? I'm going to write something that means something, and it's going to have a story and if it won't chart, it won't chart,'" he says of Wild Youth, due on January 22, 2016. "But that's not the purpose of it either. For me, it's about being innovative, coming up with solutions and cool ideas, and being creative."
