Steve Angello released his new video for a killer new track "Wasted Love" to his many eager fans in Times Square on the Sony jumbo-tron Monday, posing for pictures with his loyal fans, and handing out T-shirts customized "Wild Youth" T-shirts in anticipation of Angello's upcoming album due this fall via Columbia Records. The 31-year-old dance music innovator and globally acclaimed producer/DJ needs no introduction when it comes to pushing creativity beyond limits and made no exception for the premiere of the "Wasted Love" video taking it as big as it can get - the center of New York.
"Wasted Love" is his the first release from "Wild Youth," and this love ballad finds Angello linking up with the anthemic Australian band The Temper Trap's frontman Dougy Mandagi and adding guitars and strings to his usual EDM mix. The pair originally met in LA in late 2012. "We just wanted to have a song where our worlds collided a little bit, something that speaks to all of us, so I wanted to create something that was different but also honored The Temper Trap style," Angello told Rolling Stone. "I also wanted to find a great balance between dance and indie, and I kind of held back a lot just to create that moment where it's about the melodies and the songs."
"Wasted Love" takes you on an emotional roller coaster that leaves you in awe. Dougy's powerful voice and delivery of the lyrics and Angello's control of the energy in the melody and beat of "Wasted Love" build us up to a drop that rocks you to your very core. "It's always really interesting to see something really un-traditional happen," the former Swedish House Mafia member explained to MTV News this fantasy land is not a dream, but the video game of life. "We got a lot of initial pitches from different directors and we tried to find something that's very visual and different that ties together with my art direction of the album."
The new video, directed by Lance Drake, is a cinematic experience that seems to fall somewhere between a dream and an alternate reality, features an iconic cameo from Angello and an epic performance from Dougy. In the clip, we step into a vast "desert landscape meets art installation" world where we observe a video game of life being played. Viewers move from level to level during the song, experiencing the many stages of life, each obstacle represents birth, death, struggle, love, until the game is over.

With the announcement of his Epic 3.0 show at Madison Square Garden later this year still reverberating around the tri-state area, Eric Prydz wastes no time in releasing another piece of media to satisfy his always hungry fans. His recent single "Liberate" now gets a summer-ready music video treatment, taking you under the ocean and into the depths of rolling waves. A summer anthem, that was handpicked by BBC radio 1's Zane Lowe as his "Hottest Record In The World," needs a video that suits the euphoric mood, and now the Swedish producer has delivered just that.
One of the kings of house music, the 37-year-old Swede has an enviable knack for writing anthems, and he might just have done it again with this one. Following the classic Prydz sound, "Liberate." has those punchy and clear drums, some encompassing vocals, and an awesome drop that house fans will love. His big room sound, yet distinctive and emotional to the ear, is something unique in the EDM world.
Whenever you lose faith in the progressive house scene, you need to just look towards Prydz for that new beauty. His latest single, "Liberate," has a brilliant sentiment to it: it's emotional, it has a throwback '80s flair to it, but it still works in today's scene. It's bigger than "big drops" or whatever you're looking for, but the emo ravers in the crowd who might shed a tear can get close to this one, trust. We figure you'll be rewinding this one for a bit... soak it all in.
The track comes to life through an underwater video, which spends much of its predominantly time submerged beneath the water as two friends frolic and swim underwater along Jervis Bay on Australia's east coast (where Prydz toured for the first time this year), and the track itself from Prydz has summer hit written all over it. It's guaranteed to make you yearn for a summer vacation. Fans who witnessed Prydz's set at Ultra Music Festival in March will remember the galvanizing effect of "Liberate," and it's been a feature of his sets ever since.
