Swedish House Mafia's first album
Until One

& number 21 iTunes US

OH YEAH

HOUSE IS DOMINATING

Right now (today) on i-tunes UK

All in the top 15!
2. Rihanna- Only Girl . produced by David Guetta - house
4. Mike Posner- Cooler Than Me . not officially a DJ unlike the others in this list but still - house
8. Duck Sauce- Barbra Streisand . A-Trak & Armand Van Helden - house
12. Swedish House Mafia- Miami 2 Ibiza (Ft. Tinie Tempah) . Ingrosso Angello Axwell - house
13. Tim Berg- Bromance (Avicii Edit) - house. Tim Berg is only 21. such a genius!

Dubstep:
35. Katy B- Katy On A Mission
56. Magnetic Man- Perfect Stranger (Ft. Katy B)
58. Dj Fresh- Gold Dust.

If you haven't noticed, most of the mainstream/commercial pop artists you constantly hear on the radio these days all have a touch of house,electro, or simply a dance beat:
  • Mike Posner- Cooler Than Me
  • Far East Movement- Like A G6
  • Rihanna. new songs produced by David Guetta
  • Black Eyed Peas. album: The E.N.D, partly produced by David Guetta, full of electro.
  • Ke$ha. her songs have electro sounds and house beats.
  • Kelis. collaborations with David Guetta
  • Chris Brown. new song. Yeah 3x produced by Dj FrankE.
The "trend" now seems to be DJ's producing or collaborating with artists:
  • Swedish House Mafia. their recent hit collaborations
  • Sebastian Ingrosso producing the song Cupid Boy for Kylie Minogue's album Aphrodite
  • Boys Noize producing a song for the Black Eyed Peas.

Dubstep is also a new trend. adored by MANY.

Congrats to Mr.Guetta for being such an influence.

So happy that all these DJ's are getting their big break! and influencing pop music everywhere.

MAJOR LAZER


This is Major Lazer

No, this is Major Lazer, really.

Major Lazer, is the cartoon, but it is a duo composed of Switch and Diplo.
This duo is definitely a fashion favourite, with there music played at shows such as Alexander Wang S/S 2010, Louis Vuitton S/S 2010, and Karl Lagerfeld S/S 2010.
A reggae voice, heavy bass and a touch of electro? yepp, that's probably Major Lazer.

Diplo is the quite good looking man (to the right) behind some of M.I.A and Santigold's hits. Just by hearing their songs you can imagine Diplo's musical style: dancehall, electro-dubstep, underground, jungle/tribal beats and again that reggae voice (normally female--Rye Rye).
His collaborations include: Laidback Luke, recently Tïesto
many genius remixes aswell.


Diplo is in the new BlackBerry Torch 9800 ad.

Check Out: Music Videos

Swedish House Mafia - One (ft. Pharrell)

A very clean/neat video. Very artsy. Very random. Pretty great.

MGMT- Congratulations

Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser are walking through a desert accompanied by a strange creature, who slowly, slowly falls apart to finally disintegrate into the sand. An indescribable feeling when watching this video. A sad yet happy and soothing song set to a bizarre video which i'm 99% sure has meaning and a "message" behind it.

SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA




Sebastian Ingrosso. Axwell. Steve Angello
(Eric Prydz a.k.a Pryda sometimes joins in)

These 3 names are 3 of the best dj's out there and they constitute Swedish House Mafia (because they are swedish and they do house music but they are not in the mafia).
They've been around for quite a while as solo artists/djs with smash hits of their own, and each having collaborated with major dj's.
They were friends and have collaborated with each other before the creation of SHM (2007).
This year, their single One (ft. Pharell) has been blowing up the charts and is an amazing song to get smashed to in Ibiza orItalic at the celebration of the Dutch football team, or any party really.
A brand new single called Miami 2 Ibiza (ft. Tinie Tempah) can be heard on youtube. Sure to be another hit.
Are Swedish House Mafia going to get the same career blast as fellow friend David Guetta*?
(not they aren't already huge)

*I would just like to remind you that David Guetta has been on the house scene for a really long time (late 90's I believe) and his tunes have been hits everywhere in Europe, but it is just last year that he blasted into the major mainstream and commercial eye of the music industry.

SHM just make you want to stand up and dance the night away with all your buddies
Recomended

LOL




Hot guys, hot girls, sex, drugs and Paris.
A french romantic comedy by Lisa Azuelos.
The ups and downs of a teens love life, personal/family life in the heart of Paris.
A feel good movie that many could relate to.
Unlike american romantic comedies, it is not cheesy or predictable.
I absolutely recomend this movie.

World Cup Melancolia

My depression over the World Cup's end continues, but I have found a cure, FIFA World Cup songs. Songs that I couldn't bare listening to during the actual matches but that I now worship. Songs that remind me of the good ol'days of watching hot guys scoring amazing goals, and believe it or not, I actually miss the sound of the vuvuzela.. boy am I impatient for 2014, i might even attend! The whole vibe of the world cup was exciting.


VIVA ESPANA
(& Fernando Torres)

K'Naan- Wavin' Flag (The Celebration Mix)
Shakira- Waka Waka (Time For Africa)

Pure football gods
