Thirty Days Of Music Day 17 - A Song You Hear On The Radio Often


The mighty combination of DJs and Producers Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso make up Swedish House Mafia.  Eric Prydz, although officially a member, has been in London and so is somewhat redundant to the band at this stage but a great renunion may be in store for us in the future.

Their first official single, One, is a mightily epic club tune that has been invading our radios for the last few months.  The reason it's so popular is that it's so easy to dance to - those meaty synths are compelling and the beats are hard - and the lyrics ('I wanna know your name') are easy to sing along to.

They roped in the silky smooth Pharrell Williams for the vocals, and have created one of the best dance tunes of 2010.  It's easy to see why they one Best Swedish Band at the MTV Awards - a category which is as competetive as almost any other.
