Every now and then an artist comes around that captivates you with every sound he releases and every audience he touches and even more rarely do they come in packs of three. Since 2008, the trio reigning from Stockholm, Sweden has captured our hearts with every pounding anthem, allowing us to turn off our minds and turn on our hearts to a new movement of electronic music that brings people together.

Review: Swedish House Mafia’s One Last Tour

February 14, 2013 By Leave a Comment

When Swedish House Mafia decided to break up, myself a long with the rest of the EDM community were heart broken. I couldn’t understand how a group who sold out Madison Square Garden in nine minutes would want to call it quits.

Not to be confused with drum and bass legend DJ Fresh; we have DJ Fresh Direct’s hard hitting trap refix of the 2012 anthem, “Antidote”. Representing the big apple at the young age of 21, DJ Fresh Direct has already started to establish himself in the EDM community and this remix is about to sky rocket his career.

Swedish House Mafia Sell Out Friends Arena Show + Add Extra Day

June 25, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Just after the Swedish House Mafia has announced their farewell tour tickets went on sale for their debut show in their home town of Stockholm at the brand new Friends Arena, which has a 65,000 person capacity, on November 24. With the news of their retirement in combination with the hometown crowd these tickets were sure to go fast, but I don’t think that anyone could have predicted just how fast. In just 42 minutes the show was completely sold out! Because of this high demand the group decided to add another date on November 23. Tickets go on sale for the second date tomorrow at 9am CEST, you can get them here.
