Steve Angello has just announced that he will be launching another label in addition to his very successful Size Records which he has been running for 10 years now. The new imprint will be a sub label called X and the first release will be a two track EP from Trent Cantrelle titled ‘Nice & Close’. These tracks stray from the big room sound that has come to dominate the sounds coming from his label and offer a more pumping house vibe. ‘Nice & Close’ was featured as the opening track on Steve’s recent Essential Mix and was one of my personal favorites of the mix. The release date for ‘Nice & Close’ is set for May 6th so be sure to check back! Enjoy!
