ALESSO STILL IN SHOCK OVER SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA BREAKUP — ‘IT’S CRAZY’
Posted on Jul 18th 2012 4:30PM by Jesse Ship
Alesso is the latest Swedish young EDM prince to do the North American summer festival rounds. His affiliation with EDM overlords and Swedish House Mafia is well known, but not even he can really grasp the news of the pending breakup they announced in late June.
“It’s crazy. It’s just crazy that they broke up, it’s hard to believe, but I respect their choice. I understand that they don’t want to be repeating themselves,” a begrudging 21-year-old Alesso tells Spinner.
When Alesso was 16, a friend’s CD with a few Swedish House Mafia tracks found its way into his player. “I’d never really heard anything like it before. I fell in love,” he gushed. Having only played piano until his early teens, he was quickly absorbed by the intoxicating waves of uplifting synths and rhythms, and took to the computer and keyboards to see what he could do to match what he was hearing.
Just two years later, the ambitious young swede stalked Luciano Ingrosso, owner of Joia Records, Sweden’s largest house music label — and also uncle to Sebastian Ingrosso of the aforementioned Swedish House Mafia — in a coffee shop and gave him his first demo CD. A day later he was called into the studio.
