Description

In 2012, Angello launched a new venture – Size TV, in which Angello "is allowing cameras to capture his personal life as well as the extended Size Records family. The monthly video series will document everything from the creative process that goes into developing dance floor hits to what its like to get word from Steve that you are signing a track to Size."[4]

In March 2013 the label began a new project, an alliance with Brobot, said by Billboard magazine to be "the latest label from prolific dance veteran Junior Sanchez."[5]

Also in March 2013, Angello launched X, Size's sister label. X is more focused on tech house than Size. The first release on X was an EP by Trent Cantrelle called Nice and Close.[6]

In August 2013 Size Records observed its tenth anniversary with "SLVR" (pronounced "Silver"), a collaboration with Russian production duo Matisse & Sadko. It was the 100th release on the Size label.[7]

In January 2014, the Size Records website and artwork had been redesigned. All album artwork now uses Trade Gothic Bold Extended, which was a choice made by Size's design team Rebels Studios, who have worked with Steve for years.

In March 2014, Size Records celebrated 10 years by giving away the first 100 releases for free via Google Play in the US, and through WeTransfer & Box internationally.[8]

In a summary video of the #DECADE event, Angello had said he is looking to expand the label into further genres, once it "becomes solid".[9] He also announced he has hired a brand-new team, and has had talks with Scooter Braun.

Since then, Angello has released a tracklist and three songs for his upcoming album '"Wild Youth. Remember, Children Of The Wild, and Wasted Love will feature along with ten other tracks including one entitled .... Released 22nd November it marks a turning point as Angello's first full album since Swedish House Mafia any their separate ways.
