All photos by Ryan Leibrich Event Recap: Alessandro Linblad, the 21-year-old Swedish native known as Alesso, delivered a sick show to a sold out crowd on April 5th at The Warfield in San Francisco. Man oh man, talk about a fucking insane night. Arriving to the venue around 7:45 pm, the line wasn’t wrapped around the block but a few early birds were already cued up and ready to party. The all ages event brought out many EDM fans, especially high school kids thrilled by the chance [...]

All hail the Kind of four letter track titles: Mr. Deniz Koyu ! Straying from his normal big room breaks, ' Rage ' boasts a down-tempo mid section with direct trap influences that rapidly speed up to the impending drop for this aptly titled anthem. Deniz Koyu has developed a knack for creating originals that make their way into almost every DJ’s playlist. After the immense success of his 2011 single ' Tung !', it seems as though Deniz Koyu’s mastered a solid formula to build [...]
Deniz Koyu continues his four letter domination this week, following "Tung" and "Bong" with another gem in the same vein. Coming off Sebastian Ingrosso's Refune Records, his latest effort has been a staple along Swedish House Mafia's One Last Tour and seeps with the anthemic Koyu sound. The aptly titled "Rage" made headway over the past two months, but its popularity is beginning to rise as Miami Music Week cools down and the Beatport release arrives.

Already in heavy rotation on Swedish House Mafia's 'One Last Tour,' Deniz Koyu's latest single has been cooking up a storm in the past few months. "Rage," as it's been aptly titled, has finally gotten its official preview. Although Refune Records has only given us a a quick build up, drop and outro, from the sound of it (as well as its tested live appeal), "Rage" is going to be a impressive release. The preview ends with an exaggerated tempo change which is certainly enticing in a genre of static, singular tempo productions. Will "Rage" live up to the [...]
Almost a full year after Alesso previewed what would become one of the biggest tunes of 2012, " Years " has been revived this week with a remix from Hard Rock Sofa . The Russian remix masters swapped synths for scales, building a completely new progressive house sound before inserting the original's piano nearly three minutes in. Matthew Koma's emotive vocals take on a new color when layered over the amped up melody, resulting in a sound a little less pretty but far more peppy than the original. Solving the problem of how to drop the track [...]
Alesso is here with one of the new biggest house anthems that is going to be getting it's fair share of play through summer 2013. "Clash" is an agressive electro house bomb that contains a 'clash' of beautiful chords and melodies. It really blurs the lines between heavy and melodic in a fresh new way. This follows up his previous massive recent hits "Years" and his collaboration with label head Sebastian Ingrosso. This track just got released on Ingrosso's Refune Records and is already making it's way into countless big EDM artists' sets. Turn this up, enjoy! [...]
After releasing " Years " this summer, Alesso looks to wrap up 2012 with his hardest production in recent history. Pushing his brand of anthemic house towards his edgy roots, the highly anticipated "Clash" packs gritty riffs and powerful bassline around spurts of melodic interlude. Drawing parallels to previous efforts such as "Nillionaire" and "Dynamite," Alesso's advanced production proves versatility and an evolving sound. Head to Beatport for the official release of "Clash" from none other than Sebastian Ingrosso's Refune Records. Purchase: Beatport You just finished reading Alesso - [...]
Following a year of anticipation, and the success of " Calling " and " Years ," Alesso's "Clash" will finally see the light of day. The young Swede offers his darker side on his next production, pushing his anthemic house in a gritty direction, powered by powerful riffs and a dynamic bassline. All the while, Alesso maintains his signature melodic undertones while delivering his heaviest effort to date. "Clash" is set to be released Monday, December 10th via Sebastian Ingrosso's Refune Records. You just finished reading Alesso officially previews 'Clash' ahead of [...]
After this week's release of " One Love One Universe ," one may wonder when Arty will be ready to release his next big thing. That answer has come quickly, as Refune Records has previewed "When I See You," Arty's next single which will be ready for its November 23rd release. The track builds upon the successes of Arty's past releases, and hits with even more euphoria, big room flavor, and bold leads and crashes. Hold tight, the wait is only two weeks before "When I See You" hits Beatport courtesy of Mr. Sebastian Ingrosso. [...]
Alesso , the swedish icon following under Sebastian Ingrosso 's wing just released the visuals to his uplifting summer house anthem "Years" featuring vocals from Matthew Koma. It's a pretty cool video showing a collection os Allesso making the track in a studio, then on a crazy synth in an apartment, and then some shots of a club, and a guying knocked out, and then ending with a shot of Sebastian Ingrosso getting a demo. Cool concept for a video, and less random then most house videos. Turn it up, enjoy! Alesso feat. Matthew Koma [...]

Sneaky sneaky! It's not often that a track with such a high level of anticipation as 'Reload' is released on a Saturday. Chances are you've heard the track during any number of live sets, but now you can purchase Sebastian Ingrosso and Tommy Trash's anthem on Beatport as your own. Separately, each artist has a knack at producing resonating tunes, but together they have outdone themselves with 'Reload.' Get your copy now. Purchase: Beatport
It's rare that we get as excited to see a vocalist's name attached to a track as the producer's, but that's the case with Alesso and Matthew Koma's "Years." Matthew Koma is responsible for the lyrics in " Spectrum ," " Sparks ," and now what could be Alesso's biggest track of the year. "Years" is incredibly uplifting with the vocals perfectly blending with the chord progression. Artists seem to be lining up to work with Koma because everything he touches turns to gold. With "Years" and his upcoming collaboration with Dirty South, "City of Dreams," Alesso seems to be [...]

At just 21 years old, Alesso has quickly established himself as one of the most fresh and exciting talents of the EDM world, and with a flourishing back catalogue of club and chart hits already to his name and a reputation as a DJ that precedes him, this is clearly only the start for the supremely talented young DJ and producer. Following the Beatport topping success of Calling (Lose My Mind) , his recent collaboration with mentor and Refune label boss Sebastian Ingrosso featuring One Republics Ryan Tedder which [...]
FINALLY! After being initially dropped earlier this year in the Swedish House Mafia's Takeover of Pete Tong's BBC Radio 1 show, it has been a long couple of months waiting for the mastered version of "Years" to be released. Creating a wild buzz right off the bat, Alesso has once again built an enormous following [...]
This track has been mysteriously played out in almost all of my favorite live sets this summer, only to leave me excited and frustrated when every tracklist reads 'ID' where this banger resides. I was finally able to get my hands on the full 320 quality version of Alesso's latest dance floor murderer titled, 'Clash,' and man, [...]
