While a high school gym may not seem like the most natural setting for a club, leave it to The Weeknd to pull it off. Complete with voguish, levitating dancers and a Michael Jackson-esque dance break, a new music video released by the chart-topping crooner is soundtracked by a remixed version of “Sacrifice,” which appears on his new Dawn FM album. Remixers Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello of Swedish House Mafia dramatically circle in the background as their mystifying rework swirls over the scene. Meanwhile, a moody visual filter pulls out rich color tones and adds to the video’s vintage feel. “Sacrifice” samples Alicia Myers’ 1981 single “I Want to Thank You.” It’s part of The Weeknd’s new ...

After the release of his hotly anticipated Dawn FM album, it’s clear The Weeknd‘s penchant for dance music is more voracious than ever. The Weeknd has long championed electronic dance music, collaborating with the likes of Gesaffelstein, Daft Punk, and Disclosure, among others. However, Dawn FM twists the knife into this curiosity by presenting the most dance-forward album of his career. And it’s also his most creative yet. The album plays out like a radio station during a late-night drive in the 80s, featuring sultry interludes from Jim Carrey and Quincy Jones. But despite its escapist narrative and lovelorn motifs, at its core, the phantasmagoric Dawn FM was designed for dance parties. The proof is in the pudding. The Weeknd joined forces with disco-pop extraordina...
You probably haven’t heard Swedish House Mafia quite like this before. The veteran electronic music trio have joined forces with Swedish compatriot Jacob Mühlrad for “One Symphony,” a classical rework of one of the most prized singles in their discography. Mühlrad, one of the most renowned composers in Scandinavia, has reimagined the generational dance anthem through an orchestral lens. Swedish House Mafia released “One” way back in July 2010, when its inescapable melody helped catapult the group to the upper echelon of electronic music. And the new orchestral arrangement, the group said, harkens back to those days due to the way it was originally composed. “When we first created ‘One’ we created it like an orche...
Nearly 12 years after its release, Swedish House Mafia is giving their breakout hit “One” a makeover in the new year with the help of Swedish composer Jacob Mühlrad. Aptly titled “One Symphony,” the recomposition will serve as a symphonic version of their generational dance anthem. In an announcement shared via Instagram today, Swedish House Mafia noted that this is a natural progression for the song, as they originally wrote it orchestrally with each unique moment playing an integral part in the arrangement. The rework is due out on January 1st as the group looks to kick off 2022 with a bang. Since it’s release, “One” has seen a handful of notable reworks. Caspa and Netsky lent their talents in dubstep and drum & bass remixes, respe...

Swedish House Mafia have uploaded a behind-the-scenes clip offering a glimpse into the creation of the music video for “Moth To A Flame,” the group’s massive 2021 collab with The Weeknd. The legendary dance music trio, comprising Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso, dropped the track back in October after weeks of cryptic teases. The eerie music video, Ingrosso said, is a commentary on the pitfalls of hedonism. The clip, which you can watch below, also features Alexander Wessely, a frequent creative collaborator of the group and the director of their “Moth To A Flame” music video. “The concept is based on us humans and our constant need and greed for more,” Ingrosso said of the video. “And that we sometimes ...
The smaller, scaled back version of the the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas is now in danger of being cancelled after major media companies like Twitter, Pinterest, and Meta (Facebook’s parent company) have reportedly pulled out. This includes a scheduled appearance by Swedish House Mafia at the AREA15 concert venue.
