Part of what has become known as the ‘Swedish House Mafia’ along with Sebastian Ingrosso, Eric Prydz and Steve Angello.

Axwell, born Axel Hedfors in the Swedish countryside, found that music was in his system from a tender age. Playing the drums at the age of 9, he became frustrated with his fellow classmates who could not keep up; he traded his drums at the age of 13 for a computer so he could play all the instruments himself. This was the start of a beautiful friendship…

Axwell released alot of acidtechno music made with Fasttracker2 in the years of 1995-1997 under the pseudonym Quazar (of Sanxion) and also a chiptune featured in the warezgroup Hybrids crackintro for the now classic computergame Worms 1 by Team 17 and also competed in the musiccompetitions on the southern Swedish demoparty called Hype.

Axwell’s energy infects everything he touches, from his dj sets and remixes, to his solo projects. His latest solo offering is arguably his biggest record to date. “Feel The Vibe” has all the hallmarks of an Axwell track: tight production, funky bassline and most of all a good vibe. The track soon picked up support from a host of big djs and was re-released with a vocal, reaching #16 in the UK charts.

Axwell swiftly rose up the dj ranks and toured extensively to clubs all over the world. His highly charged sets infuse sexy vocal house with a deep driving bass that has the crowd electrified.
