Axwell Λ Ingrosso Essentials

Formed from the ashes of the world-conquering Swedish House Mafia, former members Axel Hedfors and Sebastian Ingrosso struck out as a duo in 2014, keeping their festival-topping instincts wholly intact even as they've taken bigger sonic risks. “This Time” juggles a menacing vocoder hook, an uncredited Pusha T verse, and dizzying arpeggios to reach a hand-raising peak, while “I Love You” finds the duo conveying conflicted emotions via symphonic strings and Kid Ink's swaggering braggadocio. But “Can't Hold Us Down” proves that the duo can still handle a defiant EDM anthem with its serrated synths and cascading arcade-game blips.
