DJs/Producers Axwell (Axel Christofer Hedfors), Steven Angello (Steven Angello Josefsson Fragogiannis), and Sebastian Ingrosso (Sebastian Carmine Ingrosso) officially formed Swedish House Mafia late in 2008. All three had been DJing and producing for years, while Steven Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso had been friends since a young age, and Axwell only coming into the picture later. They toured a bunch together between their formation and their first official release, "One" off their debut album, Until One, in 2010 on the record label Polydor Records. This was documented on camera, and there is a documentary, Take One, that encapsulates this time frame. Quickly becoming a success, "One" and "One (your name)" which featured vocals by Pharrell Williams, was followed by "Miami 2 Ibiza" featuring Tinie Tempah. In December of 2011, SHM was the first electronic dance act to play Madison Square Garden, in New York, and that show sold out in 10 minutes. Their most recent tracks have been making the rounds on playlists and DJ sets worldwide, "Save The World", "Antidote" with Knife Party,and "Greyhound". All three songs are singles off the yet to be released live album, One Night Stand.
These three are some of the biggest DJs and producers in their own right, but together they form a super group that has many years of experience and they do a phenomenal job live. Check out their Madison Square Garden set, the second half is pretty amazing.
