Listen to Steve Angello’s Retrofuturistic Rave Anthem, “Hooligans”

Steve Angello is back with "Hooligans," a ferocious festival track with a retrofuturistic edge.

Out now via his own label, SIZE Records, the new single is a brass-knuckled 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.

The influential Swedish House Mafia artist's uncompromising production permeates through a minimalist arrangement with maximalist energy. From the track's chugging bassline to its punishing 4/4 kicks that cut through with surgical precision, each element serves a purpose.

"Hooligans" is built around a raw, hip-hop-inspired vocal sample, which contorts and mutates into a claustrophobic build. But just when the tension reaches a fever pitch, Angello uncorks a cathartic drop that anchors the arrangement in his distinctive, timeless brand of electro.
