The Dynamic Duo of Dance Music: Max Vangeli & AN21

Max Vangeli and AN21 do it again with another progressive dance music hit Swedish Beauty out Friday, March 18th on Refune Records check it out exclusively on http://www.beatport.com/

Swedish Beauty is a hands in the air, body rocking, soul stirring track made for big clubs. Vangeli and AN21 are riding high on the Swedish approach to producing dance music, a formula that’s enabled the duo to crank out hits like Gama, Ellie Goulding’s Starry Eyed remix, and Steve Angelo’s Monday remix to name a few.

I had the opportunity to chat with Vangeli and AN21 days before the release of Swedish Beauty and got the scoop on their new track.

What’s unique about the team is their ability to collaborate and create music from different parts of the world. Max Vangeli, originally from Moldova Eastern Europe resides in San Francisco and AN21 lives in Sweden. When asked about their process to creating music both agreed, “The time difference makes it perfect. He’s sleeping while I work and vice versa.”

They also admitted having a second set of ears helps test the sound. AN21 adds, “We have a European sensibility and approach to creating music making it easier to communicate our vision for a song with one another.”

Crowds around the world have reacted positively to the track. Big names like BBC’s Peter Tong and Steve Angello have premiered Swedish Beauty on radio and in clubs. Vangeli describes their sound as, “Big room records created to close out clubs. Emotional, progressive tracks that put you in an Ibiza state of mind.”

Mission accomplished gentleman the riffs in Swedish Beauty alone are amazing the track is full of surprises.

You can catch Max Vangeli and AN21 at the Winter Music Conference in Miami March 25th thru March 27th rocking a variety of venues including the Beatport.com pool party, Mansion, and the Size Records pool party.

As for the future, expect more original projects coming out of this camp in the months to come. AN21, “We’re interested in going after challenging projects. The true art comes out of remixing and creating new genres of music.”

If Swedish Beauty is any indication of what’s to come there’s much success and happy club goers awaiting this team. Check out the video below where Max explains the concept behind the song.
