Swedish House mafia came to be known ans one of the most infamous groups in the electronic music genre. The trio of Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve Angello, and Axwell are one of the main reasons why Electric Dance Music blew up since about 2009. These three revolutionaries of electronic music are the best performers out there. All together with their blend of progressive house sounds with songwriting and the stage presence of a rock band makes their live performence so entertaining and worth seeing. These three men have had grammy nominations for songs like Greyhound which they had for an Absolut Vodka commercial and have sold out venues like Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles State Historic Park and so much more. There kick off of there last shows as a dynamic trio began on Friday March 8th in Los Angeles in which i attended. That show consisted of Thirty five thousand in attendance and music from other innovators of house. For example, performences by Otto Knows, Nero, and Alesso pumped up the crowd before Swedish House Mafia came on to blaze the stage. Swedish House Mafias two hour set to sum up their career as a group showed why they were such a big influence, and helped creat the structure for pop- Electronic Dance Music. Dance music is supposed to be immediate yet transient, sounds are felt viscerally, but lapse quickly as the party moves on. Swedish House Mafia has a talent for keeping the power of EDM’s sonics while writing songs that stick like power ballads. When the snow machines blew lazer-lit flurries for the chorus of “Don’t You Worry Child,” one of their latest hit singles, the cyclical, seasonal nature of dance music became literal. Swedish House Mafia seemed to be saying, in its way, that not-so-young-anymore EDM fans are going to be fine without them.
