Swedish House Mafia, Daft Punk Rumored To Come Back And Play One More Time

By Justin:

Swedish House Mafia’s management team has announced that their performance at Ultra Music Festival will not be there last. After watching the groups supposed final set in Miami, the legendary French duo Daft Punk reached out to SHM backstage, in hopes of conjuring up the most explosive live show ever assembled. With Daft Punk’s new album due out at the end of May, they couldn’t think of a better way to usher themselves back into the spotlight then to team up with the most popular super group the EDM scene has ever witnessed. It was said that the group was ecstatic when the duo approached them backstage, Axwell was quoted in saying, “as a group we have always idealized Daft Punk and how they go about making music, this is a great honor for us and there is no way we could turn this down.”
         
It has been rumored that the 5 DJs will make their collaborative performance on the main stage of the Electric Daisy Carnival - Las Vegas under the pseudonym Daft House Mafia. This is going to be quite the sight to see and I feel absolutely terrible for all of the poor souls who dumped their life savings to go see SHM in Miami when they could have saved their pennies to see the biggest collaboration in music history.

Update April 2: April fools :)

Masquerade Motel - Swedish House Mafia

Swedish House Mafia will be hosting Masquerade Motel March 23rd.  If this date looks familiar that's because ultra kicks off on March 23rd as well.

Not sure why SHM didn't do the show on the 22nd or the tail end.  I'm not sure why SHM did this, however it does appear they like offering an alternative to UMF because this is at least the second time they have done this.

2011. The Year Of Dance Music.

This year has truely been magical in the EDM Industry.  So many amazing things have happened and the movement exploding in the US was the crown jewel.  Furthermore 2011, marked the founding of EDMBoston.

We'd like to reach out and thank all of the fans.  You are what make this website happen.  Your generous page views and clicks of our partner ads keep the website going.  In addition, I'd like to thank the kind people at the Estate for hooking EDMBoston up with access to visiting DJ's.

There is so much to look forward to in 2012 but 2011 will not be a year to be forgotten.  We saw Swedish House Mafia do a historic take over of Madison Square Garden, Alesso break on to the scene, Skrillex capture the hearts of the EDM underground movement, and the first national EDM Tour in the US happen (Identity Festival).  In addition, lets not forget about Kaskade loading up a traktor trailer to do a mobile live set and cause a riot or the time Deadmau5 covered an entire building with a video screen.

Boston even got in on the mix.  Afrojack, Tiesto, Deadmau5, Markus Schulz, Ferry Corsten, Martin Solveig, Avicii, and Chuckie were just a few of the names to visit us.  UMass and other colleges are fully embracing EDM on campus and transitioned from a hip-hop based culture to that of House/PLUR.  With the infrastructure set we can't imagine what is ahead for Identity festival 12 and all the clubs have in store for us.

So much good has happen this year that we can't list it all.

to steal a corney line from SHM:

#WE CAME. WE RAVED. WE LOVED

SHM Sellout MSG FAST

You read that correctly.  If you waited until today for tickets to go on sale and didn't take advantage of the fb presale your out of luck.  What started out yesterday as a tumultuous day ended in all but 9 minutes before the tickets were sold out.  At first SHM didn't have the tickets setup on ticketmaster.  They scrambled are released a group of 300 VIP tickets and then 5 minutes later released the tickets.  I think our team had to refresh approximately 40 times.  It was frustrating to say the least.  It was more disappointing that we didn't score floor tickets.  At least we got section 200 level tickets.  So we should have a decent rave.  SHM reported, at one point, that 5000 people were waiting in the queue for tickets.

If you didn't get tickets pay close attention to SHM facebook.  They have spread rumors they are seeking to add a second show.
