The event with over 20,000 fans that soldout in under 10 minutes was actually broadcasted through the site last night, and we had well over 1000 TSIS fans tuning in to watch from across the world. Well for all those who got be apart of the unique experience, saw the Swedish House Mafia killed it, playing all the favorites, on top of some bass pounding new anthems that really set the place off. The lights and over production was very on point complete with a huge amount of L.E.D. panels and even lasers thrown in. We’ve included the tracklist of the historic event below. Exciting to see how big Electronic music is getting in the U.S., and to think that this soldout in 10 minutes? There could have easily been another 2 nights.

Swedish House Mafia – Save the World ft. John Martin : Epic New House Anthem [CDQ]

House supergroup Swedish House Mafia is back with their latest offering, ‘Save the World’. Following up One ft. Pharrel and Miami 2 Ibiza on top of their previous work was going to be hard, but they might have done it.  Radio rips of this track first started surfacing from Pete Tong’s radio set, but until this full version you couldn’t really enjoy the track. After hearing it in full high CDQ (CD Quality) I can safely say this is going to be one of the biggest anthems of the year. It’s happy, great vocals, real massive sound, just plain epic. Turn up the bass for this one and let your new summer dance anthem begin. Enjoy!

ABSOLUTE BANGER HOUSE REMIX: Teenage Crime (Axwell) – Adrian Lux

So I’m glad a lot of you guys loved the Swedish House Mafia posts, and today I’ve got a special treat for the house fans. For those who don’t know Axwell, who makes up one third of the infamous house trio, his solo work is just as good if not better then his work with Swedish House Mafia. This track has a slow build up, but please do listen to the whole thing and at least the drop a little after 2 minutes. And it really is key to have some massive speakers and bass to blast this one. It’s a remix of Adrian Lux’s ‘Teenage Crime’, house fans will love this track, and even if you don’t give it a chance as it’s the perfect summer club track, enjoy!
