Angello was born to a Greek father and Swedish mother in Athens, Greece. His father was killed when Steve was a teenager. A life in Stockholm, Sweden and music took the better of him. He started out as a Turntablist, fusing hip-hop, breakbeats and 70's classics but later moved onto House music, in the club life of Stockholm, together with his best friend Sebastian Ingrosso.
Steve Angello's claim to fame came when he released his remix of Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams" in late 2004. Since then he has exploded onto the house music scene. In 2007 his eternal club banger, a remix of Robin S "Show Me Love" was released on Data Records.
Angello produces under several different aliases. On his own, he has called himself Who's Who and released tracks called "Not So Dirty" and "Sexy Fuck". He often works closely with his childhood friend Sebastian Ingrosso on many projects. Aside from DJing together, they have also produced under the names Buy Now, Fireflies, General Moders, Mode Hookers, Outfunk, and The Sinners. Most recently, they released "Bodycrash" under their Buy Now alias, sampling the 1978 disco hit "Let's All Chant" by the Michael Zager Band. The track was first played by Pete Tong on his Radio 1 show in late 2007. Eventually, the Dirty South remix of the tune leaked out onto the Internet in January 2008. The track has since received a much larger release via Positiva Records, also including the Laidback Luke remix.
He has produced with Eric Prydz under the name A&P Project. Also, he has created a track with his friend Axwell under the name Supermongo, later renamed Supermode. They made a cover of an old Bronski Beat track, calling it Tell Me Why. This was released via Ministry of Sound's Data Records imprint in summer 2006.
Steve Angello's productions can mainly be classified as house (Summer Noize), progressive house (Yeah), Tech house (Partouze) and electro house (Raining Again). He also owns his own record label, Size Records.
Angello's brother, Antoine Josefsson is also a DJ and producer who goes by the alias AN21. Together they have released the tracks Valodja, Flonko & Swing N Swoosh.
As well as releasing tracks through Subliminal, Data Records, Cr2 and Refune, Steve Angello is owner and founder of Size Records based in Stockholm, Sweden. Through Size he has released singles such as Gypsy, Isabel and Flonko to name a few. Size also represents artists such as Funkagenda, Kim Fai, Veerus, Thomas Gold, Third Party and Maxie Devine.
Dopamine
Steve Angello Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I give you a hit for your pinball heart?
It's not heaven, but it's a start
So lightly we tread
You were callin' me up from your hospital bed
Now we're doing it all, again
It's the beat in your chest
As the dopamine begins to light your eyes
There's nothing but the dust and dirt to keep us up tonight
And my heart is singing, screaming, "I'm alive"
Oh, darling, if we end it all at least you're by my side
But we can never die
But we can never die
But we can never die
But we can never die
You dance sugar sweet
Wearing nothing but furs and the shoes on your feet
Who knows when we'll meet, again
And it's always the same
See, the drink couldn't wash out the taste of your name
Please tell me it's not the end
It's the beat in you chest
It's the smoke on your breath
As the dopamine begins to light your eyes
There's nothing but the dust and dirt to keep us up tonight
And my heart is singing, screaming, "I'm alive"
Oh, darling, if we end it all at least you're by my side
But we can never die
But we can never die
But we can never die
But we can never die
But we can never die
But we can never die
The lyrics to Steve Angello’s “Dopamine” suggest a wild, carefree spirit that seeks pleasure without any consideration of the consequences. The song portrays a scene of two people coming together, living in the moment, and enjoying the high of dopamine. The opening lines “Eyes flash in the dark, can I give you a hit for your pinball heart?” evoke images of a rave party where strangers come together to share drugs and dance. The lyrics suggest that the song is an ode to the chemical dopamine, which is responsible for the feeling of pleasure and reward that comes with taking drugs like cocaine.
The chorus “As the dopamine begins to light your eyes, there's nothing but the dust and dirt to keep us up tonight, and my heart is singing, screaming, 'I'm alive'” appears to express the idea that the characters know the pleasures they seek are tainted and dangerous, but they are willing to take the risk to feel alive. Despite the risk, they find solace in the fact that they will never die, suggesting that they may continue living in the same reckless manner they do at the moment.
The lyrics also capture a sense of timelessness and yearning for more, as the last line repeats the phrase “But we can never die,” creating an implication that the highs these characters experience will continue endlessly. Overall, “Dopamine” appears to be a song that celebrates living in the moment, taking risks, and experiencing intense pleasure.

Eyes flash in the dark
The darkness is broken by your eyes that are full of life and energy
Can I give you a hit for your pinball heart?
Let me help you feel a rush of excitement and energy in your heart
It's not heaven, but it's a start
This isn't the ultimate paradise, but we're on our way there
So lightly we tread
We are walking on this path without any burden, joyfully and carefree
You were callin' me up from your hospital bed
Even though you were in a position of weakness, you still called out to me with love and need
Now we're doing it all, again
We have been given another chance to relive our passion and love, and we're taking it
It's the beat in your chest
The rhythm of your heart is what keeps us going and feeling alive
It's the smoke on your breath
Your breath and the smoke you exhale represents the intensity and passion of our love
As the dopamine begins to light your eyes
As your brain starts to produce dopamine, the hormone that signals pleasure, your eyes become bright and lively

We don't need anything else but each other to stay up all night and keep the energy alive

My heart is beating so fast with joy and enthusiasm, and it feels like it's screaming out in happiness
Oh, darling, if we end it all at least you're by my side
Even if something tragic happens, at least we will always have each other's love and support

We can never predict when we will see each other again, but we know that our love will never die
And it's always the same
No matter what happens, our love and passion will always be constant and never change

Even when I try to distract myself with alcohol, I can't forget the taste and feeling of being with you
Please tell me it's not the end
I don't want this to be over yet, please don't let it end

Our love and passion is so intense that it will never fade away or die
But we can never die
Our love and passion is so intense that it will never fade away or die
But we can never die
Our love and passion is so intense that it will never fade away or die
But we can never die
Our love and passion is so intense that it will never fade away or die

Eyes flash in the dark
Can I give you a hand for your pinball heart?
It's not heaven, but it's a start
So lightly we tread
You would call me up from your hospital bed
Now we're doing it all, again
It's the beat in you chest
It's the smoke on your breathe
As the dopamine begins to light your eyes
There's nothing but the dust and dirt to keep us up tonight
And my heart will sing and scream: I'm alive
Oh, darling, if we end it all at least you're by my side
But we can never die
But we can never die
But we can never die
But we can never die
You dance sugar sweet
Wearing nothing but furs and the shoes on your feet
Who knows when we'll meet, again
And it's always the same
See, the drink couldn't wash out the taste of your name
Please tell me it's not the end

And my heart will sing and scream: I'm alive
Oh, darling, if we end it all at least you're by my side
But we can never die
But we can never die
But we can never die
But we can never die
But we can never die
But we can never die

Ojos destellan en la oscuridad
¿Puedo darte una mano para tu corazón de pinball?
No es el cielo, pero es un comienzo
Tan ligeramente que pisamos
Me llamarías desde tu cama de hospital
Ahora lo estamos haciendo todo, de nuevo
Es el ritmo en tu pecho
Es el humo en tu respiración
A medida que la dopamina comienza a iluminar tus ojos
No hay nada más que el polvo y la suciedad para mantenernos despiertos esta noche
Y mi corazón cantará y gritará: estoy vivo
Oh, cariño, si terminamos todo, al menos estás a mi lado
Pero nunca podemos morir
Pero nunca podemos morir
Pero nunca podemos morir
Pero nunca podemos morir
Usted baila dulce de azúcar
Sin más ropa que pieles y zapatos en los pies
Quién sabe cuándo nos encontraremos, otra vez
Y siempre es lo mismo
Mira, la bebida no pudo borrar el sabor de tu nombre
Por favor dime que no es el final
Es el ritmo en tu pecho
Es el humo en tu respiración
A medida que la dopamina comienza a iluminar tus ojos
No hay nada más que el polvo y la suciedad para mantenernos despiertos esta noche
Y mi corazón cantará y gritará: estoy vivo
Oh, cariño, si terminamos todo, al menos estás a mi lado
Pero nunca podemos morir
Pero nunca podemos morir
Pero nunca podemos morir
Pero nunca podemos morir
Pero nunca podemos morir
Pero nunca podemos morir
