Axwell
Axwell (* 18th December 1977 ; bourgeois Axel Christofer Hedfors ) is a House - DJ from Lund , Sweden . Together with Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello , Hedfors formed the DJ trio Swedish House Mafia , which disbanded in June 2013. He then formed the Axwell Λ Ingrosso duo with Sebastian Ingrosso in June 2014 , until the Swedish House Mafia celebrated their comeback in March 2018. As a result, Axwell Λ Ingrosso announced that they would be discontinuing their project.
Career
At the age of nine, Axwell was the drummer in his band, which he gave up. Four years later, he bought a computer so that he could play all the instruments himself. Later he met the singer Isabel Fructuoso and landed his first hits under the name Mambana : Libre & Felicidad . Thereupon big names like Roger Sanchez , David Guetta and Junior Jack became aware of him. Axwell has been an integral part of the house scene since the release of Feel the Vibe .
In 2005 Axwell built a group of Swedish DJs called Swedish House Mafia together with Sebastian Ingrosso , Steve Angello and Eric Prydz . Since Prydz emigrated to London , he is no longer an "official" member of the Swedish House Mafia. Since then, the three have made regular appearances under the name Swedish House Mafia. Also in 2005, Axwell founded the Axtone Records label that released singles like Open Your Heart (with Dirty South ) and the Laidback Luke and Axwell remixes for TV Rock - Its Been a Long Time . Artists such as Deborah Cox, Michael Calfan or Salem Al Fakir as well as members of the Swedish House Mafia are under contract there.
After the Swedish House Mafia dissolved in spring 2013, Axwell founded the Axwell Λ Ingrosso project together with Sebastian Ingrosso in June 2014 .
At the Ultra Music Festival 2018, Swedish House Mafia performed together again after five years and celebrated the reunification there. The start of the next tour as Swedish House Mafia is planned for May 2, 2019 in Stockholm.
