were warned last year that to attempt to launch their own even in the face of Miami's Ultra Music Festival was to do the unthinkable. Yet, Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso persevered, delivering the tented Masquerade Motel party right on South Beach with 12,000 people in attendance and hundreds more watching from beyond the motel's gates.
Now, in addition to their own label parties this week in Miami, a two-day Masquerade Motel mini-festival lies ahead for the Swedes at Grand Central Park, and fans will be pleased to hear that SHM plan to go even bigger in 2012.
"Last year, we did the beach party Masquerade Motel," Angello told us when we caught up with him at Las Vegas dance mecca XS nightclub. "We did about 12,000 people. This year, we do Friday and Saturday. Great park. A little over 10,000 each day.
"We were very limited last year," he continued. "We had a timeslot to work around, and we could only put a few artists on. ... But this time, it's stretched over two days and we can do more artists and bigger productions, which is gonna make the event, and experience, a lot better. ... So we are all super pumped!"
Fans have recently gotten a taste of SHM's latest single "Greyhound" through a canine-inspired music video (a partnership with spirit giant Absolut), and Angello is equally excited about their upcoming music.
"There will be some new music there and some other goodies," Steve confirmed, smiling. "There will be some new music there and some other goodies.
Angello was also proud to reveal that his label, Size Records, will be hitting Miami hard this week. At his Size Matters MMW closing party Sunday at the Fontainebleau hotel, brother AN21 and Max Vangeli, Junior Sanchez, "Troll" producers Qulinez and Tim Mason are among the performers debuting new material.
"AN21 and Max's album is ready," Steve revealed. "Great collaborations. It sounds amazing. And then we have Third Party that just delivered [their] 'Feel' record, which is a really big record. Qulinez just realized 'Troll' on Size. Wayne & Woods are new artists. It's just great new music, and we are having a blast."
