Dear Family,
Thank you for tuning into Swedish House Mafia Facebook!
We hope you liked our news that we will be the first ever DJ artists to play the legendary Madison Square Garden and the 9 Hour Event at National Milton Keynes Bowl Arena and we hope you will be there to be a part of those moments. We hope you like just as much that our Coldplay version of Teardrops and the amazing Knife Party collab Antidote will also be out on the One Night Stand album. Our thanks to those guys. While choosing the venues we would do this in, so many factors came to play, but us all making history together was firmly one of them. Madison Square Garden is one of the most famous rooms in the world, and Milton Keynes Bowl allows 65000 of us to stand together in a virtually sound restriction free zone…it was a no brainer.
We have worked hard with the promoters and suppliers to hammer costs to deliver what we feel are really good ticket prices to make this event as open as possible. We will be working on ways to bring the shows to those who cannot make it via the web. We will be announcing the guests and friends who will join us and the theme for the Milton Keynes Bowl in February…. we do hope you will join in! It’s important to say, that the chances offered to our scene now are in line with some of the biggest bands out there. Who would have thought this was possible even a year ago. The magic of this is that while the scene is the biggest it’s ever been, it’s still the best kept secret in the world. Yes sure, so many of the world’s greatest electronic producers are now on daytime radio, or they’re on MTV, but the beating heart of the scene…the dance floor, is still one for the brave of heart and the true of soul.
New music is born every day in secret forums, back room dance floors, bedroom laptops and passed round the world with a ‘sssshhhh’ and a wink. That’s why we love it right? When we played Miami this year, every single person at that show knew the words to Save the World which was only on the internet from some footage of Steve playing it in Australia. At any festival or large show people know the words and melodies to tracks never released or played on radio. It is unique. It is wonderful. It is a family. And you do that. As attendance grows and the venues that house the raves grow in notoriety, the debate rages…is this mainstream now? Who knows, but the rules are the same.
We come. We rave. We love.
That is the real code of what we do, and that of those who attend our gigs. We just do it in some of the best god damn places in the world and whilst we have those opportunities we will take them with both hands.
A massive shout out to all of those artists in the journey of electronic music to this point who inspired all of us. A massive shout out to all of today’s DJs, singers, writers, producers, promoters, dancers, designers, FX teams, lighting jockeys, sound engineers, nightclub workers….anyone….everyone who makes this happen.
But most of all, a shout out to you.
History is made by people.
People….Lets Do This!
With so much love and awe for you,
Swedish House Mafia.
