When they’re not spinning records and entertaining fans many DJs return home to their families to deliver a different kind of entertainment. They trade in their records for tutus and crowns, funny faces, cotton candy, and matching attire. In honor of Father’s Day we’ve decided to shift our focus from their DJ duties to their diaper daddy duties.

Since leaving the world behind as the super-trio once known as Swedish House Mafia, Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso have taken a route of their own. That route has brought them to an unexpected venue to display their latest production; the soundtrack for Disney Pixar’s “Monsters Inc.” sequel, “Monsters University.” Originally premiered on Pete Tong’s Essential Selection, the Swedes reveal a new facet of their production chops, crafting “Roar” with bouncier electro, and progression as animated as its host soundtrack. While “Monsters University” hits theaters in three weeks, and its soundtrack hits shelves in two, Axwell and Ingrosso’s lead single has officially been released ahead of Monster-mania.
