New York City’s skyline was lit blue and yellow, but Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Steve Angello have owned the Big Apple for longer than just one night. The love affair between Swedish House Mafia and New York City is well documented and extends far beyond the Madison Square Garden sell out of 2011. After blowing up from the success of “Leave The World Behind,” the trio headed north from Miami to New York to claim a piece of the Apple for themselves.
In November of 2010, Axwell played Webster Hall, Ingrosso played Pacha, and the following month Steve played Roseland Ballroom for New Years Eve. Over two years later, the Swedes returned together to close the collective chapter on NYC. With a flick of the switch, their final run had begun.

“I think you never get used to not sleeping.

2009 was the year that Swedish House Mafia would heat up in Miami and become hot enough for the globe. After releases of “Show Me Love” and “Leave The World Behind,” the Swedes went on to produce “One” — and the rest would be history. But not before Steve Angello captured the year’s Miami vibes and packaged them into his debut artist album. The Yearbook presents club music geared for South Beach — day and night life. Without the big room appeal or vocal enhancements of modern productions, Steve’s 10-track outing pays testament to his dance intellect and deeper side.
Headed by “Valodja” and supported by a track produced under his Mescal Kid moniker, The Yearbook remains in the archives as Steve travels the world for One Last Tour with his Swedish brethren. Jump below the break to stream the album and get hooked on the earlier sounds from the Size Records head honcho.
