Steve Angello and Paris Hilton have had a falling out. Paris claims Steve hit her in a DJ booth!
Here is Steve's account of what really happened in the DJ booth with Paris Hilton...
"Steve plays dance music, he just doesn't play hip hop. He politely refused Hilton's requests but she got more and more agitated, and it escalated pretty quickly. Out of nowhere one of her security guards smacked Steve in the face. Steve is a quiet guy, but he had to act in self defense and fought back. He started pounding on the guy and it suddenly turned into a full scale fight in the DJ booth."

Mobo-Award nominated artist Ironik releases his brand new single, ‘Tiny Dancer’ on April 27th, through Asylum Records. It is the third single to be lifted from the UK Top 20 debut NO POINT IN WASTING TEARS and sees the 21-year old’s intrinsic melodic flows accompanied by up-and-coming emcee - Chipmunk and the legendary Sir Elton John.
Sir Elton has given his full backing for the rearrangement of the cult-classic original and full access to the 12” masters. He says: “Tupac and Kanye West are the two artists I’ve let sample my records - that says everything about how much I rate Ironik. It’s good to be able to help young talent I believe in”.
Platinum selling Swedish pop sensation Basshunter will unleash his latest dance track ‘Walk On Water’ on 6th April.

KISS' very own X-Press 2 return with new material this year kicking of with 'Now I'm On It/Fear One' out on April 6th through Skint.
‘Now I’m On It’ is classic X-Press 2: a strong groove, sirens, and a haunting vocal sample, yet still sounding totally contemporary. Already road tested to great response in their recent DJ sets this is the first in a series of new singles planned for this year.
‘Fear One’ was originally written for their last studio album ‘Makeshift Feelgood’. The club track didn’t fit with the predominantly vocal orientated album, and after 2 years as a secret battle weapon in the boys DJ armoury, they are now ready to share it with the world.
KIG's latest single, Heads Shoulders Knees n Toes hit the shops last week and to celebrate the Family organised a flash mob in London's Leicester Square last week...

SINGLE: Pussycat Dolls - Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny)
Pussycat Dolls go Bollywood for the release of their scorching new single ‘Jai Ho! [You Are My Destiny]’ on April 13th through Interscope Records.
Pussycat Dolls have reinterpreted the epic song from the film everybody is talking about, Slumdog Millionaire. The original version of ‘Jai Ho!’ won the Best Original Song award at the Academy Awards last month. Nicole Scherzinger wrote the lyrics and worked with additional producer Ron Fair to take the A.R Rahman original to a whole new audience. Combining the traditional Bollywood sounds with urban beats, ‘Jai Ho! [You Are My Destiny]’ has already caused a stir on line, with both Bollywood and PCD fans raving about the new version.
With a stellar headline cast already in place, Wireless are proud to announce further global names and some of the hottest new faces in dance music for their very special Saturday bill in Hyde Park. Joining our headliners BASEMENT JAXX, chart topper DIZZEE RASCAL and a very special second stage headliner in the shape of THE STREETS are the following stars of the dance world.
At the top of the tree is a name synonymous with the dance scene since its very beginnings. As one of the key innovators of acid house in the late 80’s through his Spectrum night and the force behind Perfecto Records, PAUL OAKENFOLD is one of a handful of people who can claim to have kick-started the most important musical movement in Britain since punk. Through his twenty year career and over countless remixes, club nights and original tracks Oakenfold is rightly regarded as one of the Godfathers and this very special DJ set is sure to have the crowd in raptures from the first to last note.
