Swedish House Mafia

Swedish House Mafia is a Swedish house music group consisting of the three disc jockeys and producers, Axwell, Steve Angello, and Sebastian Ingrosso. The group officially formed in late 2008. Angello & Ingrosso met as children in Stockholm; Axwell was not a member until multiple years later after they contacted him after a chance meeting. The name "Swedish House Mafia" first appeared on forums and was used to encapsulate the group of producers that were working together in the future. Steve Angello stated, "But weÔ[][]ve been through everything together. I can always lean on one of their shoulders and they can lean on mine. I can always trust their opinions. When I have a track, they tell me straight away what they think. With Swedish House Mafia, youÔ[][]re with friendsÔ[]ª." The first production that was released by Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso was "Get Dumb". It was produced with Laidback Luke and released in 2007. In 2010 the Swedish House Mafia signed a record deal with EMI's Virgin Records. They released their first official single, "One (Your Name)", under the name Swedish House Mafia on Beatport on 26 May 2010, where it achieved international success, charting at #7 in the UK Singles Chart. The next single, "Miami 2 Ibiza", featuring Tinie Tempah, charted at #4 in the UK Chart in September 2010. Both singles were taken from the "Until One" album; a collection of productions and remixes from both Swedish House Mafia and as the group as individuals. It has achieved a BPI Gold Sales award in the United Kingdom.
