Unsure how to balance the demands of the group with their solo projects, Axwell says that “maybe we weren’t focused enough, or didn’t know what to do”. Bangers like ‘Save The World’ and ‘Don’t You Worry Child’ inspired a generation of teenagers to abandon the mosh-pit in favour of raves.įive years after they formed, however, Swedish House Mafia broke up at the very height of their popularity. In 2010 they broke through with the singles ‘One’ and the Tinie Tempah-featuring ‘Miami 2 Ibiza’ as their pulsating, progressive take on house music spearheaded an EDM boom that dominated the mainstream for the next decade. A collaboration between the established and wildly successful DJs Axwell (born Axel Hedfors), Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso, the supergroup first announced themselves in 2008 and quickly changed the world of popular music forever. Swedish House Mafia are the rockstars of the dance music world, and they sure as hell talk a good game. “We haven’t come back to reclaim our title because we never lost it.” His bandmate Axwell agrees: “We’re still the biggest, so it’s fine.” “These are exciting times,” Swedish House Mafia’s Steve Angello tells NME from a Stockholm studio on a Zoom call with his two bandmates, as we talk up the dance powerhouse’s long-awaited return to their throne.
