Ravers and house music lovers who are in the know are well aware of the upcoming release of Until One, Swedish House Mafia’s first full length. This lucky intern was able to get a weekend’s worth of listening before it drops this Tuesday, and was not disappointed, neither were the friends who were partying alongside.
Swedish House Mafia is comprised of three DJs who were placed in the top 25 of DJ Magazine’s Top 100 list in 2009. And if the troupes name didn’t give it away, their origins are Scandinavian.
Leading up to the album’s release the trio have released three singles from the collection of non-stop bangers, the almost transcendental “Leave the World Behind,” the album’s namesake “One” that has generated numerous remixes, one of which done by the Mafia features Pharell from N.E.R.D, and the club favorite “Miami 2 Ibiza.” All of which immediately make any room a shake, partly from the bass and heavy synth lines, and also because it is almost impossible for people not to move when these house jams blast, granted you have a pulse (even writing while listening to Until One, toes are tapping and head is bobbing).
To look at the album in as a whole, it is quite simply a party playlist. It is seamless in production and progression so much so that it may as well be a single 75-minute track. An absolute sure fire way to amp up any gathering as well as an effective way to get yourself up in the morning. The means to an end for Until One is essentially to “bring the heat.” Mission accomplished and a special thanks to Swedish House Mafia for a tremendous weekend.
Couldn't agree more to the natural reaction to any of the tracks off of the 'new-new' great for a number of different situations. Why just this morning kids/friends were the primary reason my snooze time was cut from 6:00-6:50 am to 6:00-6:10 am...simply extraordinary.
