AN21 and Max Vangeli talk New Year's Resolutions, New Releases, and Gatecrasher

New Year's Eve sees Max Vangeli and AN21 join 2manyDJs, Eric Prydz and more for a spectacular party at Gatecrasher. We caught up with the pair to find out what to expect on the night.

2011 was an amazing year for you both. Tell us about the highlights?

Max: This year was just on another level with all of the massive gigs we played. Some highlights would definitely be Pacha Ibiza, Sensation, Creamfields, and lots of amazing US gigs.

You had a full on touring schedule this year. How on earth to you manage to get into the studio together?

Max: It was truly challenging but thanks to the internet we were able to bounce ideas back and forth and actually finish them on days off while being in the same cities.

Tell us about the debut album? When will it be released?

Max: The album is in its last stages. We have so much material that it is hard to pick the songs that are actually are going on it. Lots of surprises there and we already started playing out many of the tracks.

You've worked with Kim Fai, Steve Angello, Example and Tiesto?

Max: Yes, we were fortunate enough to work with all of the artists above. It's been quite a challenge since all of us are really busy but I think our fans will be happy with the outcome.

What are the stand out tracks on the album?

Max: We only showed off a couple tracks of the album so I can't go into much details. 'People of the Night' ft Tiesto and 'Whisper' ft Example are the two you might've heard on BBC Radio 1 or one of our live shows.

You're already getting lots of praise for 'People of the Night', with bug support from Radio 1 - how does that feel?

Max: It's quite surreal to be honest. We worked really hard on that record and I am very glad people are enjoying it!

You've achieved so much this year - what can we expect for 2012?

Max: 2012 will definitely top this year. We have so much in the works. You are gone have to wait and see!

What can we expect from your NYE set at Gatecrasher?

Max: A lot of new material from the album as well as some exclusive bootlegs and tracks from fellow DJs. It's going to be massively sexy!

Do you have any New Year's resolutions?

Max: This year has been truly amazing for me and so many things went right. I think just to continue doing what I've been doing and striving to do my best!
