Following the release of Depeche Mode’s most recent album, ‘Delta Machine’, revered dance music figureheads Steve Angello and Jacques Lu Cont have been called in to remix album track ‘Soothe My Soul’, which will be released exclusively through Beatport on Monday, May 6.
Shooting flames, lasers, fog… just a few words that sum up Swedish House Mafia’s concert as they stopped in Chicago for their “One Last Tour”. The hype for this tour has been blowing up social media sites for moths as fans tried to imagine what they could expect from this dynamic trio as they bring their 6 year career to an end. With all three having successful solo acts, Axwell, Steve Angello, and Sebastian Ingrosso knew that they needed to deliver something unforgettable for their fans-- and that’s exactly what they did.
As the show started, a white sheet hid the stage while large projection of colors and lights and designs filled the canvas. The beat began to build as the anticipation seemed to overwhelm the crowed. The energy could be felt all through the arena. At the peak of the build, the first drop hit as the sheet dropped revealing the trio standing front and center; behind them a multi-level platform stage. Strobe lights lit up the arena as cell phone lights flickered throughout the crowed.
The show started with a trip through the Mafias classic hits: From features they’ve done in the past, to current club bangers heard all around the world. The first half of this show was all about our favorite Swedish House Mafia hits.
Half way through the set, the sheet was raised back up. This “intermission” didn’t affect the atmosphere of the crowed whatsoever. The music kept on blasting and the fans kept on raging. As the dropped approached, the tarp was released bringing us back to the Mafias world, only this time, their set consisted of remixes and mashes of songs we know and love all throughout the EDM scene. From your feel good dance music, to your heavy bass trap mixes, they seemed to incorporate almost every style. This switch hyped up the crowed even more. One song after another had a new feel, with all the smooth transitions fitting together perfectly. The beat and bass could be felt throughout the entire United Center.
This amazing journey was something you needed to witness in order to fully understand the power felt between this trio and their fans. The connection was unrivaled. Perhaps it was due to the fact it was the last time all three would be playing together in Chicago, but it was something truly spectacular. Anyone who was there can attest to the environment at the show. And if you’re awaiting a show on the One Last Tour, I tell you now: you are in for a real treat. This experience is something you will never forget.
If you're doubting me, check out this video of the last 15 minutes of the show!

French electro-big room afficionado , Arno Cost has released a live preview of his upcoming track,"Head Up." The track is soon to be his official debut on Steve Angello's record label, "Size." Here is a clip of the track from a Steve Angello set from Escape From Wonderland, a couple of months ago. The track has a similar sound to his present single, "Lifetime". Cost displays sheer perfection with the minimal drops and melodic breaks. Check it.
I'm a big fan of SHM and specifically Steve Angello. Its nice to have them back in the game with 'Don't You Worry Child' and this one. Recently their tracks have been lackluster and a little eurphoric for me but 'Lights' gets me going!
This huge song just released on his label Size Records in association with his new charity: Size Foundation.
50 Cents from each sale will go towards the education of young people. What a gentleman

Alexander Lager and Johannes Gustafsson, hailing from, Surprise, Surprise, Sweden, have been producing tracks together since early 2006. In 2011, they began a project called 'Qulinez' and now for 2012 their debut release comes courtesy of Steve Angello's Size Imprint. The announcement of Troll's release has produced quite a stir online with the heads and rightly so as it packs a hell of a punch. Main room muscle, combined with a brilliant euphoric 5am twist, that is driven by a pounding kick. Some great synth patching and an aggressive, driving, Electronic bass line deliver what promises to be yet another great find from Size.

Rolling Stone Article: Swedish House Mafia Brings the Party to Madison Square Garden:
'Minutes before they took the stage for their headlining Madison Square Garden show, the members of dance supergroup Swedish House Mafia were unable to believe they were really about to play the legendary arena. "We said it as a joke," mused Sebastian Ingrosso. "'We should play Madison Square Garden, ha ha.'" "Somebody must have been drunk . . . the one that booked it," added bandmate Axwell.'

Every time I think to myself, there is no way he can have more releases up his sleeve, Tommy Trash keeps up his vicious release schedule. Seriously, I think he has more releases this year than most artists have unreleased versions they are still working on. Monkey See Monkey Do came out just a few days ago, and his remix of Shave It came out today. Super jelly of everyone who got to see Steve Angello drop it at Escape From Wonderland, but I somehow stumbled upon that video in the wee hours of the morning, so I wasn't too far behind.
