The hype surrounding Swedish House Mafia‘s debut is bubbling over. The latest development in anticipation of their debut album comes in the form of its tracklist, which the iconic trio revealed today via social media. The long-awaited Paradise Again will feature 17 songs, including collaborations with A$AP Rocky, Connie Constance, Mapei, Seinabo Sey and more. Prior to 2021’s comeback single “It Gets Better,” Swedish House Mafia hadn’t released new music since 2012’s Until Now compilation, which featured a number of generational dance anthems, like “Don’t You Worry Child.” Now experimenting with a darker, more techno-inspired sound, they recently dropped the Paradise Again single “Redlight,” which features legendary Poli...
Less than two weeks ahead of Coachella, the festival has confirmed that Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd will headline in lieu of Ye, formerly known as Kanye West. The “Moth To A Flame” collaborators will perform in the festival-closing slot on Sunday night of each weekend, April 15-17 and April 22-24. It’s worth noting that the day’s three top-billed acts—Swedish House Mafia, The Weeknd and Doja Cat—are all managed by Wassim “Sal” Slaiby’s SalXCo firm. Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello of Swedish House Mafia are on the verge of releasing their long-awaited debut album, Paradise Again, on April 15th. The supergroup also recently contributed production to two songs from The Weeknd’s chart-topping 5th studio album, Dawn FM. Swedish...
And there you have it. The Weeknd will be joining Swedish House Mafia next Sunday at Coachella. The combination will replace Kanye West, who dropped out earlier this week. Coachella is teasing it as a party/after-party. Probably that it will be a Weeknd set followed by a late Swedish House Mafia set. That would be similar to 2012 when the Swedish trio went on after the Black Keys’ headlining set. Either way, the festival moved fast and enlisted a headliner that will appeal to its audience. A lot of names were floating earlier in the week, but this seems like the most logical conclusion considering The Weeknd’s stadium headliner stature and his history with the festival. The festival announced the news in a tweet on Wednesday morning. The Party & The After Party pic.twitter.com/8gT2bF3x...
îLESONIQ has been one of Canada’s premier electronic music festivals since 2014, hosting an impressive array of DJs and even extending beyond EDM to include hip-hop heavyweights. Presented by Bell, îLESONIQ returns to Montreal’s stunning Parc Jean-Drapeau from August 5-7. The fest’s organizers pulled out all the stops for the 2022 edition when they announced the first phase of the lineup last month, revealing one of its biggest lineups to date with headlining performances from Eric Prydz, Swedish House Mafia, and a massive B2B set by ILLENIUM and Excision. But they didn’t stop there. Phase two has now been revealed, adding Montreal’s own Black Tiger Sex Machine, German techno stalwart Dixon, and future house pioneer Don Diablo. Other major artis...
Swedish House Mafia‘s catalog of music has been purchased by Pophouse Entertainment, an entertainment investment company founded by ABBA member Björn Ulvaeus and EQT Founder Conni Jonsson in 2014. The acquisition includes the master recordings and publishing, as well as the writer’s share, of the legendary dance music trio’s catalog. It also includes the masters and publishing rights of Axwell Λ Ingrosso, the collaborative nom de plume of Swedish House Mafia members Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso, who recorded music together following the band’s 2012 disbandment. Pophouse Entertainment will leverage their resources and amplify the Swedish House Mafia brand to become even more global, and expose their music to ancillary markets within the industry. The terms of t...
If you thought Ultra Music Festival was going to fade into the rearview for another year, having just completed a massively successful 2022 edition, you’d be sorely mistaken. This year’s festival season has only just begun, but Ultra already has fans pondering tough but necessary decisions for their 2023 calendars. In a stunt executed immediately prior to Hardwell’s electrifying comeback set on the Main Stage Sunday night, Swedish House Mafia were revealed to be the first headliners confirmed for Ultra 2023. During the one-minute reveal, Swedish House Mafia’s name and iconic triple-circle logo were emblazoned across the stage’s video boards. Additionally, the stage’s massive LED Ultra logo morphed in realtime to reveal a hidden message: “See You Ne...
They say every cloud has a silver lining. With the pandemic finally in the rearview, electronic dance music festivals are back—and so are many of the scene’s beloved artists who have largely remained in the shadows. The scourge of COVID-19 vicious, but it seems these artists have now emerged with a renewed sense of vision and verve. And after two years of creative strangulation, they are hungrier than ever. If 2022’s albums are any indication, we’re on the precipice of the best years for dance music in history—just like David Guetta boldy predicted. Here are 22 of the most anticipated albums expected to release this year. Flume Palaces, Flume‘s third studio album and first since 2016’s critically acclaimed Skin, is slated to release on May 20th. He r...
Swedish House Mafia have dropped the final bread crumb on the trail to their long-awaited debut album, Paradise Again. The album has been a long time coming for Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello of the legendary supergroup, whose disbandment a decade ago shook the dance music community to its core. Prior to 2021’s comeback single “It Gets Better,” Swedish House Mafia hadn’t released any new music since 2012’s Until Now compilation, which spawned generational dance anthems like “Save the World” and “Don’t You Worry Child.” According to a press release issued to announce the music video for their recent collaboration with Sting, “Redlight,” Paradise Again will officially drop on April ...

Late last month, Sebastian Ingrosso teased a massive collaboration between Swedish House Mafia and fabled guitarist Sting called “Redlight”. Today, the high-profile collab finally hit streaming platforms.

The ambitious move to enlist Sting has paid off in spades—and “Redlight” is a must-listen. “Redlight” is the latest single from Swedish House Mafia as they prepare for the release of Paradise Again, one of the year’s most hotly anti...

Back in October, the legendary Swedish trio released “Moth To A Flame,” their collaborative track with one of the biggest artists in contemporary music.
