For those of you going the house party route for New Year’s Eve (any real nightlife junkie knows that New Year’s Eve is amateur hour anyway) the boys in black, Swedish House Mafia, will be providing 2 hours of listening pleasure to ring in 2013. From 10pm to 12am EST, IHeartRadio will be streaming a mix recorded by the guys for Pete Tong while they were on tour passing through Amsterdam. The second hour of the mix is the never-before-released audio from their legendary performance at Milton Keynes Bowl, widely regarded as one of the best shows they have ever performed.  Alongside Calvin Harris, Pete Tong, Paul Van Dyk and Diplo, IHeartRadio’s New Year’s Eve programming is your best bet for experiencing one of the most dance music saturated New Year’s Eves in history — all without dealing with the crowds.

The stream is available exclusively via IHeartRadio’s Evolution radio station, so be sure to download the app or tune in here.
