Steve Angello is back with “Hooligans,” a ferocious festival banger with a retro-futuristic twist.
Out now via Angello's own label, Size Records, “Hooligans” is a love letter to techno's industrial roots. Producing acid-fueled sawtooth synths, he channels Human Resource's early '90s techno classic, “Dominator,” a touchstone of the early rave scene.
Angello's uncompromising production imbues a minimalist arrangement with maximalist energy. From the track's resonant bassline to its punishing 4/4 kick drums that cut through with surgical precision, every element has a purpose.
“Hooligans” is built around a raw, hip-hop-inspired vocal sample that contorts and mutates into a claustrophobic structure. But just as the tension reaches a fever pitch, Angello uncorks a cathartic drop that anchors the arrangement in his distinctive, timeless electro style.
