The unexpected separation of Swedish House Mafia at the end of 2012 was an earth-shattering moment for the clubbing scene, a reaction never seen before and more typical of other musical genres where bands breaking up are a common occurrence. The magnitude of this seismic wave was a consequence, in large part, due to the achievements of the Swedish trio, their coming together meant the creation of a new formula accompanied by a sound that forever changed the landscape of EDM.
DJs have always been famous for being lone wolves, and Swedish House Mafia proved that the partnership of different personalities coupled with their respective unique musical styles was possible. From being three top-tier DJs separately, together they became a global phenomenon that accumulated success after success, awards and "sold out" shows in each event they took part in. The pressure and the daily erosion could be two factors that precipitated their separation, but fortunately, Swedish House Mafia are returning, and they do it with fully charged batteries.
After the great news of this reunion surfaced, everything since then foreshadowed their return on the Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel stage. Not just because we´re talking about the number one open-air club in the world, but above all because the relationship between Swedish House Mafia and Ushuaïa Ibiza surpasses that of mere professional ties. It is a joint history filled with great moments, that includes the iconic residencies of the 2011 and 2012 summer seasons.
