Re: Sweden Post

So my previous post on the Swedish House Mafia disappeared, and I have no idea why. If anyone knows anything about this, please let me know. UPDATE: I was able to recover all of the links, so enjoy. Sorry that the formatting is not as nice as usual.

TEXT OF POST (thanks to the e-mail subscription):

Vlkomnande till... Sweden

A little bit of explanation: the Swedish House Mafia is not post-minimal-breakbeat music from Sweden. I promise. It's actually a group of Swedish house DJ's: Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve Angello, and Axwell. It also used to include Eric Prydz (AKA Pryda. Don't worry, he's also going to be in this post) until he moved to London. All of their productions are upbeat house tracks - Eric Prydz was the one who dropped Call On Me - and they all have a similar style. Oh and they also love to get together in pairs and name themselves something else.

Also, keep up spreading the word. Interest in the blog is definitely picking up thanks to you guys. UPDATE: I fixed commenting so you don't need to be registered somehow to leave one.

My genre of the day: Swedish House Mafia

What you need to be listening to:

I have to admit, this might as well be a Know Your Genre because all of these songs are older, but whatever, it's all good.

Tell Me Why - Supermode
A remix of Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat by Steve Angello and Axwell (Supermode). No way I could do a post on these guys and not include it, this song is huge. Think Call On Me with 80's vocals.
Tell Me Why - YouTube

Breathe (Instrumental) - Mode Hookers
A tune from Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso (Mode Hookers). Starts off with a repetitive beat, but quickly drops off into sweeping strings. Worth it just for that bit.

Breathe - Download

Nice (Eric Prydz Radio Mix) - Duran Duran
A great remix from Prydz that injects a ton of energy into Duran Duran's original. Another note: all four of the Mafia are amazing remixers (just check out Axwell's remix of Hard-Fi's Hard To Beat or Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso's remix of Hard-Fi's Suburban Knights).
Nice - YouTube

Feel The Vibe (Instrumental Mix) - Axwell
Super house tune from Axwell, who probably makes the brightest sounding songs of the four. Made for clubbing on a beach.

Nothing to do with the Swedish House Mafia, but...

I'm Not Alone (Extended Mix) - Calvin Harris
The real version of I'm Not Alone finally dropped. If you haven't heard it or downloaded it yet (see Fancy Some Euphoric? post in Feb.), do it now.

NEXT POST: May be a little more of a wait then usual. Maybe a normal post?
