ANGELZ Has Your Party Playlist Covered with New Five-Track, Tech-House Infused “Saint Thug III” EP

Not even a week after leaking the track “Letter After F” in anticipation of his annual EP, ANGELZ has just unleashed his full “Saint Thug III” project. Totaling five grimy dancefloor tracks, “Saint Thug III” infuses ANGELZ’s iconic G-house sound with bouncy tech house and wicked rap vocals. From the raunchy bedroom anthem “How to Leave,” to the funky bass of “Scarface,” to the catchy vocal hooks of “Yeah Yeah,” ANGELZ relentlessly lays down the dynamic production that has always set him apart from the crowd. ANGELZ effortlessly treads the lines between the big club and underground sounds, catering to both UK garage and hip-hop fans. Whether it’s time to hit the gym or the dance floor, “Saint Thug III” is your new go-any time a situation needs turned up a notch. While his previous two EPs were released on Tchami’s label Confession, ANGELZ is self-releasing the “Saint Thug III” EP on his imprint Maison Sainte. Though it’s been years since he coined his own version of G-house, ANGELZ once again proves that the only place he’s going is up – just press play on “Saint Thug III” to see for yourself.
