VIDEO OF THE WEEK
Formed in late 2008Swedish House Mafia is a electronic music trio consisting of three disc jockeys and producers: Axell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso. They placed at number ten on the DJ Magazine Top 100 DJ Poll 2011. Last summer the group announced that their current tour would be their last together. Their final performance was at the Ultra Music Festival on March 24th. Although now broken up, the band was quite successful. Their first official single "One (Your Name)" charted at number 7 on the UK Single Chart during the Spring of 2010. That Fall they followed with their next single "Miami 2 Ibiza;" featuring Tinie Tempah, charting at number 4 on the UK Chart. Both tracks were taken from the album Until One; a collection of production and remixes from Swedish House Mafia as a group and individuals. Their final track "Don't You Worry Child" (official video above) was released this past September. The song is currently at #15 on Billboard's Top 100. It is unknown whether the group will work together again. In an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine Angello said that "we just decided that we reached a point where we didn't know what the next step should be." Although, he expressed that they "come beyond their dreams."
