Following on from the club hit “Solo Tu”, Angelo teams up with UK rap pioneer J Spades on the the dancehall influenced new banger, “Hot Steppa”. Having performed “Hot Steppa” live for the first time at the Latino Life In The Park Festival 2022 in front of an audience of over 15,000 people, shutting down Finsbury Park’s Candela Stage, Angelo Flow is helping shape a new era in the history of Latin music in London.
“Hot Steppa” is breaking records as the fastest-growing UK-produced Latino song ever, clocking over 359k views on YouTube and 138K on Spotify, and it’s the first homegrown Latino song playlisted on rotation on UK radio (Kiss Fresh).
Venezuelan born Londoner, Angelo Quesini, known as 'Angelo Flow’, is rooted in the evolving rise of latin and reggaeton club culture, having already notched up singles “Que Tu Quieres,” “Rosa Como Tusi,” “Soy un Santo” and “Solu Tu” which was supported by tastemaker DJs DJ City, DJ Phenom, Danny West, Vlatz, ETX and NY DJ Kazzanova. His Latin-Caribbean crossover style and commercial sound mark him out as One To Watch.
London’s rising latin x artist, Angelo Flow gives his tips to some of the best things to do in London.
What’s the best thing about London?
The amount of opportunities there are to achieve your dreams.
What’s the worst thing about London?
Coming from a Caribbean country, the climate is still something I can't get used to
Where do you go to have fun?
The best way to have a good time as soon as I have free time is to go to the music studio in North London, invite some friends and have a small party inside. Flow and make music with friends while having a good time is the best :-)
Where is the most relaxing place in town?
To relax I try to go to the gym every day to train at boxing. It makes me drain a lot of weight and energy, and also do 1 hour of swimming in the gym near my house.
Where is your favourite place for eats and drinks in London?
To go to eat I like to go to any Latino place around Finsbury Park and Seven Sisters or Elephant & Castle, or if it’s a special occasion a steak house like Steak & Co in Leicester Square. For drinks Salsa in Soho is always the best option.
If I could change one thing about London…
Again… the weather.
What’s your favourite club venue to play at and what makes it so special?
I really enjoy playing at VIVA Reggaeton at the Lightbox inn Vauxhall because there’s such a vibe which really lifts and puts me in a great mood. I recently hosted my ‘Hot Steppa’ single Launch Party there.
The song that reminds me most of London is…
"Get Busy" by Sean Paul because it is the first song I remember hearing in a club the first time I came on holiday to London so it’s fixed in my mind.
Tell us a London gem that everyone should know about
The Shard rooftop for sure because it has a super special vibe where you can see all of London and you feel on top of the world.
One thing everyone should do in London is…
Explore the streets of Camden Town where you can find a million interesting things as well as super bohemian life and art unique to London.
