Deadline reports this week that Steve Angello is going in a surprising new career direction. With EDM constantly in the forefront of pop culture, many producers and directors are trying to bring the movement to the big screen. It appears that Steve Angello has signed on for a TV drama as their executive music producer (just a year or so since announcing that he would focus on underground electronic music).
The show will be called “The Drop,” a Miami-based “EDM” drama set to release on the CW (in conjunction with CBS Studios). Angello will be the executive music director on the show with Nashville‘s R.J. Cutler signed on as the executive producer.
The plot line apparently features a DJ who meets a “gifted protégé who is female and African-American, both rarities in the EDM world.”
