This is the preview for a documentary that one of the senior cadets at Flight School is preparing for release Nov. 22 this year. It's a film about the boy band of Electronica, the Swedish House Mafia. SHM is comprised of the illest Swedes in the game; Axwell, Steve Angelo, and Sebastian Ingrosso. Be sure to check out the documentary, which the preview fluffs pretty hard. The movie is going to be a raw look into the world of headline djing direct from one of the most-in-demand acts of the moment.
I'm stoked for the release of the video (and the soundtrack that comes out a month before), and to go along with the preview, I'm including four of SHM's biggest hits, and some bonus remixes.
Laidback Luke vs. Benny Benassi - Be Satisfaction (Swedish House Mafia Bootleg)
This track is proof positive that anything SHM touches turns to gold. This bootleg mashup of two iconic house songs will send any crowd over the top, and is a must-have for any DJ's house crate.
Swedish House Mafia - Leave The World Behind (Original Mix)
After "One," Leave the World Behind has to be the biggest track that SHM has produced thus far. Every club and festival you go to, you'll be hearing this song (and some fresh remixes/blends I hope), which is a great thing in this case. The beautiful vocals of this track make it a peakhour powerhouse, and one that will be on the scene for a long time to come.
Swedish House Mafia - Miami 2 Ibiza (Feat. Tinie Tempah)
One of SHM's newer releases, this track has some wicked synth samples and the complex drums that could only have come from the drum-o-phile (yes that's a word, as of... right now) that is Axwell.
Swedish House Mafia - One (Original Mix)
The success of this track is worthy of a post of its own. I remember when this was first released, and the entire Electro lineup at the May Imagination festival (myself included) dropped this heater. "One" became the quintessential house anthem overnight, and hasn't slowed down at all.
Bonus:
Swedish House Mafia - One (Congorock Remix)
Probably the most well-known remix of One, this track was played by almost every single performer at EDC 2010, or at least it seemed like it. Dim Mak's Congorock tears it up with a fat muted bass guitar that gets the crowd super hyped every time.
Swedish House Mafia - One (Kid Kaio & D-Rashid Go Dutch Remix)
This remix is less popular, at the moment, but it is my personal favorite. Kid Kaio is a huge act from the UK and hasn't picked up as much steam in the US as he deserves, which is why I'm shamelessly plugging him now! This dutch remix is way harder than the original, and has some clever vocal samples from America's favorite fatass tossed in for effect.
