Let’s take it back to the golden days of dance music. More precisely, 2010, the year Steve Angello released his all time classic ‘Knas‘, an electro house masterpiece that gets played even these days and makes the crowds go crazy. Having spent much time on the White Isle, the track gained popularity in clubs such as Pacha Ibiza where Angello would headline shows together with his friends Sebastian Ingrosso & Axwell.
With so much hype built around it, the song reached big names in the industry like Tiesto and David Guetta while also receiving air time from Pete Tong during some of his BBC Radio 1 shows. ‘Knas‘ is not a complex track, it is built around a catchy loop and bassline that are just pleasing to the listener. The way Steve Angello managed to create such a simple, yet iconic sound shows how great of a producer he is.
‘Knas‘ is still part of Swedish House Mafia’s sets as well as Angello’s solo tracklist, proving that it is just timeless. One of the most famous mashups in EDM history is Steve’s ‘Show Me Love vs. Knas,’ a mashup so iconic it could have its own Grammy.
In 2024, with electro house pretty much gone from the biggest stages of the world, it is nice to see tracks like this one keeping the genre and its atmosphere alive.
