We were still unsure if it was a mistake or a hint at what was coming up. or was it? It displayed the three dots of their logo. Their "Dancing Alone" billboard was glitching. Their Instagrams were dropping cryptic messages and an injoke seemed to be starting up. It was a monumental thing for all electronic music artists and fans around the world.īack in July this year, Angello, Axwell and Ingrosso of Swedish House Mafia seemed to be hinting at something. Even the late great Avicii was supposedly inspired by Swedish House Mafia's reunion when he returned to DJing shortly before he passed away this April. It seemed that having so much fun together and seeing fans so happy made them reconsider a reunion. But it seemed like this wasn't the last we were going to see of them. It seemed they were really making the most of their time apart, and many fans began to lose hope that the supergroup would actually have a reason to get back together.Īfter they got together for the Ultra Music Festival in Miami, fans felt lucky to have had the opportunity to see them once again. During their hiatus they each worked on an array of hit singles, Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso formed Axwell Λ Ingrosso in 2014, and Steve Angello released his debut studio album in 2016. After all, they weren't exactly doing badly on their own. That "Maybe one day something will happen inside of us that says 'boom'."įor a while, that seemed like a fairly empty musing. During their hiatus Axwell explicitly said that he would not rule out a reunion forever. After all, given nearly six years to work on their own music and projects, they have no doubt developed new techniques and ideas to explore with one another. However understandable their reasons for splitting were, fans everywhere have been holding onto the hope that they might come back together. So, rather than keep milking the phenomenon, they retreated to focus on their own projects. And that was, in fact, part of their reason for splitting: They felt they had done all they could do together, and felt they couldn't keep producing such fresh tunes.

After forming in 2008 and releasing two amazing albums, Swedish House Mafia looked to be one of the best EDM artist collaborations ever.

Their split in 2013 took the EDM world by surprise. It's confirmed! The Swedish House Mafia reunion is a go, with tour dates being released already for eager fans to start making plans.
