This DJ group probably does not need any special introduction so let´s dive into it. Here is the story of how the iconic Swedish House Mafia came to life.
Swedish House Mafia was formed in 2008, after DJ´s and producers Axwell, Steve Angelo and Sebastian Ingrosso started to play some show together, but suddenly it became more and more frequent and people loved them together. DJ and producer Eric Prydz was also a part of some of these shows, but decided to stay on a solo journey. The name „Swedish House Mafia“ came from the people and fellow DJ´s who jokingly called them that.
They destroyed charts with bangers like “Dont You Worry Child”, “Save The World” or “Leave The World Behind”. They have also released one studio album “Paradise Again” in 2022 and two compilation albums “Until One” in 2010 and “Until Now” in 2012. They worked with artist like The Weekend, ASAP Rocky,Ty Dolla Sign,Coldplay and many more.
The End And Ressurection Of Swedish House Mafia
The group announced their breakup in 2012, but they broke up in 2013 after their final show at Ultra Miami. We could tell that they ended the group in their peak of success, but they felt it was time to go their separate ways to explore more of their solo careers.
Swedish House Mafia came back where it all ended. In 2018 group reunited for Ultra Miami Festival for the festival´s 2Oth anniversary.They played some shows togehter but officialy came back in 2022 and they are performing till this day.
