Over the weekend, an eagle-eyed Reddit user spotted a poster with Swedish House Mafia’s iconic three-dot logo and a date reading “16 07 21.” If the advert is confirmed to be real (some commenters are skeptical), the mysterious message could signal new music from the iconic on-again, off-again EDM trio.

A New Swedish House Mafia Song Title Has Been Listed on ASCAP
The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) has listed a new recording called “Not Yesterday,” which seems to have been penned by Swedish House Mafia under the Universal Music Group umbrella.

Jasmine Harrison, Youngest Woman to Row Solo Across Any Ocean, on How Music Powered Her Boat
Jasmine Harrison is not a musician. She has never picked up a microphone or downloaded music production software. She’s only danced to one song in her entire life, albeit an embarrassing one. But after making history as the youngest woman to row solo across any ocean, she is living proof that music can propel anyone to do extraordinary things. Accompanied by nothing but a playlist and the mesmeric, repetitive splosh of her oar slicing the ocean’s surface, Harrison, 21, traversed the Atlantic Ocean in 70 days, 3 hours and 48 minutes. However, with a bubbly naiveté rarely found in a barnstorming, record-breaking heroine, you wouldn’t know it when speaking to her. And after the enormity of her accomplishment finally sunk in, even she can’t believe it was her....

Mike Posner Reveals He’s the Voice Behind Swedish House Mafia’s “Underneath It All”
When Swedish House Mafia rejoined the scene on their comeback tour, fans were quick to take notice of a certain ID in the midst of their sets. “Underneath It All” was labeled as the working title, but sadly was never officially released to the public. It showcased the same singalong appeal of other SHM classics like “Don’t You Worry Child” and “Save The World,” leading to speculation that the vocalist was their longtime collaborator John Martin. We were today-years-old when we found out it’s actually Mike Posner. The news broke when the singer-songwriter responded to a fan who questioned the credit. The track showcases Posner in a different cadence than we are used to, which makes sense as to why it took so long to figure out who it was...
