Dance music's answer to Ikea the Swedish House Mafia debut their rare live show in London this weekend.
Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell are pretty ubiquitious these days, but the last time all three squeezed in the booth was at the Amsterdam Dance Event last October. "It's actually very rare we all come together in Sweden or anywhere in the world, " says Angello, the group's Don Corleone. "It's really about less is more and keeping each show special."
In London, special means the addition of the London Breakbeat Orchestra, a 30-piece orchestra who'll accompany the trio live on four of their tracks. Who needs soft synths? Besides the live P.A, the SHM will also spin back to back joined by breakdancers, visuals, pyrotechnics and a constant stadium roar.
