We can tell you how it feels, and that we are sad, and that we are ending Swedish House Mafia together.” But that wasn’t the imprint that Ax and his brethren would leave stamped on America… “Remember your last day in school? This is our last day in school. All you needed was the enchantment of “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall” and a sentimental speech.”This is a special night, this is where it all started,” Axwell began his heart-felt farewell. It was the final hour, but you didn’t need a watch to know that. Through “In My Mind,” “In The Air,” “Knas,” and “Teenage Crime,” the Swedish creed was as authentic as it’s ever been. Goosebumps collectively rose from Ultra’s record-setting deluge, paying testament to the old mafia saying - “Goosebumps never lie.” On this warm Miami night, it had never been so true.
“Resurrection” with “Together” was enjoyed in the same vein as its 2011 Madison Square Garden debut, “Here We Go” put us in a time capsule and sent us back to the trio’s Coachella headlining gig, and the “Kidsos,” “Lose My Mind” bootleg romanticized the nostalgia. Nothing else mattered, nothing else existed, besides three men, one crowd, the music, and a farewell. With Axtone’s “Rasputin” came the vocal of “Leave The World Behind,” a record that helped ignite an explosion, and together the guys and their fans took the lyrics’ advice. It was a beautiful sight, and Axwell himself confirmed that, announcing “Miami, you are as beautiful as ever.” Mixed with the vocal from “I Found You,” not one audience member was without one of those cheek-to-cheek smiles.
“Miami, my name is Axwell, this is Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve Angello, and we are still the Swedish House Mafia!”įollowing the hardstyle of “Wakanda” and an unreleased anthem from Steve Angello, “Calling” reminded us of the Swedes’ ability to make smiling irresistible. The One Last Tour introduction ensued, “Greyhound” followed, and it was déjà vu all over again when Axwell picked up the microphone from the decks of Ultra’s Main Stage on March 24th, 2013. Fast forward to this past weekend as Pete Tong paid homage to the crew before they took off on their victory lap. After two hours, and changing the electronic landscape with “Leave The World Behind” and “One,” that introduction would become standard, but never again necessary. “Miami, are you ready for Swedish House Mafia?” Steve Angello asked as Swedish House Mafia began their set at Ultra on March 27th, 2009.
Is swedish house mafia still together full#
Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Steve Angello stood together behind a DJ booth, turned off their brains and turned on their hearts for the last time to bring their dominance full circle at Ultra Music Festival. At the same site where it all began, they did so in the same grandiose fashion that they’ve done everything and anything since their stateside explosion.
After closing global chapters it was time to shut the book and end the story - time for the biggest electronic act of a generation to close the curtains on their legacy. It was time for Swedish House Mafia to say goodbye in America. They said namaste in India, adjö in Sweden, lebewohl in Germany, au revoir in France, dosvedanya in Russia, totsiens in South Africa, hooroo in Australia, and adiós in Mexico.
