Angello  On a windy late autumn night atop the W Hotel in
Hollywood, EDM deity Steve Angello was bestowed the 2013 Eliason
Merit Award by his Scandinavian peers at the Los Angeles branch
of the Swedish American Chamber of Commerce.  The red-carpet
event was awash with svelte figures enjoying Swedish snacks
including beet-and-turnip skewers and a cold pea soup that would
make those Danes in Solvang turn green with envy. Have you ever
heard Swedish? It sounds like a person playing ping pong with
their tonsils. The guests, taking advantage of an open bar, were
downright garrulous in an anticipatory flutter.  PHOTOS: Steve
