Take One: A Documentary Film About Swedish House Mafia

why are we going on this crazy trip?

Its not that crazy. Toronto to Madrid to Ibiza. Its pretty good.

Or well just do London to lbiza and back.

Las Vegas to London to lbiza, business class.

It starts like this.

They`ll go crazy.

They`ll just die. And then...

And then another effect.

They`ll just die. Then the explosion.

I don`t get it. what have you done? where am l?

- lt`s right there. - Here?

This is the loop.

And when this sound goes up here,

we can start with another sound here, that starts to go up.

- But the same sound? Like the strings? - I don`t know, something else.

when this one goes up it disappears and there comes another sound,

that`s already in that loop, if you know what I mean.

Once it kicks off, everything should be up.

But there`s nothing that`s always up.

working on our new track for the Miami conference.

It`s going all right. we`re having fun, that`s what it`s all about.

Coffee time.

I`ll be away for three weeks. I`ve got a special Miami bag.

Look, jackets, clothes, shorts.

I`m the most organised person on this planet.

I need to be in control of my shit.

I have this sort of...

Not OCD. what`s it called when you have to be really organised?

Then l`m happy.

Thank you.

You wanna party? what`s up?

- we are the party. - Oh, you are.

If you are the party it must be dead up there.

OK, let`s press something.

- lnsert your key. - You don`t have to insert anything,

except, you know, what you normally insert.

- Can you say "insert"? - Do it.

- Say it, just once. Say it. - I don`t want to.

For the love of God, say ``insert``, woman.

I told ten times that I want my own car to go to the fucking Ultra festival.

what the fuck? I`ll go grab a fucking taxi.

Shit, fucking organised shit.

One request. One request. Not ten.

Yeah, I just said to Ben, Amy, everybody else,

that when I go to Ultra, I want my own car to sit not like this with 1 5 people.

My head is in my DJ set. Yeah, OK.

Ah, that`s nice.

- How are you, Axwell? - l`m good.

- You came straight in. How is the jetlag? - lt`s OK.

I stayed awake for the whole trip. I kept myself awake and then slept.

Man, could you get me a water then l`ll lick your pussy.

I didn`t know I had a vagina.

- what should we open with? - Let`s do two.

- Let`s open with the same as yesterday. - we`ll just go for it.

Just go for it. Have some drinks, do some house, no big deal.

welcome to the weekend. This week it`s all about Miami.

Big new tunes from the winter Music Conference, and some classics.

I`m in Miami, bitch.

I love to play in Miami, especially winter Music Conference.

Generally, Miami is a special thing. You have a lot of Latin blood.

Beautiful people, people love to dance and party.

A big gathering of all dance music lovers.

Miami is the bomb. It`s crazy.

Is that our stage?

This is so badly organised.

what`s up? You wanna party?

- Thank you. - Thanks.

when do we start?

Miami, are you ready for some Swedish House Mafia?

My name is Steve Angello. This is Axwell and Sebastian lngrosso.

we are gonna rock this place. Are you guys ready?

I can`t hear you. Are you ready?

Did you have a good time?

House music is back in the United States.

..you fucking touch me. Get the fuck out of my face.

I swear to you, we`ll shut you down!

I asked the DJ if he could play Daft Punk, maybe Bob Sinclar,

and he rudely snapped at me, and was like, ``l only play this kind of music.``

There`s a picture of Paris Hilton there.

It`s here, just scroll up a bit.

You`re all over the internet.

``l`m fucking Paris Hilton. who the fuck are you?`

I`m like, ``l`m Steve Angello. Don`t you know who I am?`

She`s like ``No.`` ``So I don`t know you.``

She`s like, ``l`m Paris Hilton.`` ``l don`t give a fuck.``

And he pushed my face, and then it was like... Take my watch.

He ate my fist.

Our manager just sent us a letter saying

we should try to be on time for gigs and things...

- and try to behave. - what do you mean?

So the promoter doesn`t have to wait for us buying cigarettes...

- You know. - I get it.

- we need to be more on top of things. - Exactly.

- That`s just part of what she wrote. - what else did she write?

That there`s a lot of talk about us now, with everything going on.

People are going to ask about our new deal with our label

but we shouldn`t really say anything. That would be nice.

Just don`t say anything. That would be nice.

The first time I was here was with Sebbe in 2002.

we couldn`t get in anywhere.

we just went around promoting our music.

we were just kids. we handed out our music to the DJs.

Just like everyone now is giving us their music.

Basically, my father had two record labels in the early `90s in Sweden.

He was the first to have electronic music in Scandinavia.

So l`m born with it.

I`ve been around nightclubs since I was a kid, cos my family was into that.

So, I mean, for me it was natural.

I was gonna be a farmer.

what school? I was in school, but I was not a good kid.

I discovered the Amiga 500.

I need to be in the studio every day to learn what this is all about.

I started out with hip-hop, breaks and scratching, playing vinyl.

I started out playing in a pizzeria.

The most ridiculous place ever.

The difference for me was that I didn`t have bedroom DJ equipment to try on,

so I just tried at the clubs.

- And that went well? - Yup.

- Then I met Sebastian. - Then I met Axwell.

we had to hook up.

we trained ourselves. Sebastian smashed my hands when I did something wrong.

why did you three decide to team up?

Google us.

we`ve been friends sharing knowledge about music, working together.

Then we started to DJ together. That`s how Swedish House Mafia came about.

we heard the first Daft Punk album and fell in love directly.

we were like, ``OK, this is what we wanna do.``

This is Swedish House Mafia.

Tickets. who needs tickets?

- lmagine this full tomorrow. - lt`s big, but not that big.

- Do you know how many 4,500 people are? - But it`s wide.

- lt`ll be packed. - But it`s big.

It`s bigger than the terrace at Space, which holds 5,000.

- No, are you crazy? - 8,000.

Brixton Academy is a big venue.

It`s like a concert hall, more like a rock bandish kind of thing.

The special thing is that it`s our show.

Everybody who comes tonight likes house music and Swedish House Mafia.

They come there to see us and the production of the show.

- I think we`ll start with... - Start with that.

That`s all I can think of off the top of my head.

Sometimes we break down to a kick and a bass.

You need to feel it. I don`t wanna hear it, I wanna feel it.

- I don`t think you`ll be disappointed. - I hope not.

Or l`ll kill him.

we`re part of the fucking Mafia ain`t we.

- l`m gonna go see them tonight. - Anyone needs tickets?

Very hard to get a ticket.

The touts are selling them on for between 70 and 1 00. It`s no good to us.

No, that`s what l`m saying!

Swedish House Mafia!

You can`t explain it, you`ve got to experience it.

I just want to say that we`re going to Brixton Academy now.

Do know what that noise is? It`s a full stop.

``Yo, what`s up, man? You all right??`

It`s true.

what is a question mark?

Fresh off the back of a massive lbiza residency,

house music`s biggest act returns to London -

the Swedish House Mafia.

This is a legendary entrance.

You can see how Madonna has walked here,

and now Swedish House Mafia will walk here.

- Let`s start with some energy. - Think.

I have to pee again.

Nervous. Butterflies in my stomach, balls, neck.

I love you guys.

Let`s do this.

They`re just waiting and waiting.

Show, show, show!

Brixton!

It`s just you, the mixer, the CDs.

You get this energy back from the people.

You can`t really think about anything,

you just turn off your brain and turn on your heart.

You just saw what they did.

Give it up for Swedish House Mafia.

Thank you so much!

we`re good!

I don`t want to walk off. I just want to go for it.

It`s just something we`ll remember forever.

I almost saw tears in some people`s eyes.

It was like performing in front of 5,000 of our best friends. You know?

They were like, so much support and love.

Guys, I love you so much.

There will be so many drugs today, like you wouldn`t believe.

People are going to be completely out of it from E.

That`s the sad thing about this.

Number 25. So where the hell is 24?

Cos I just walked 500 miles.

Cos I just walked 500 miles.

There you are.

we should make an edit of this. It`s just been released on Size.

- Yeah, that one. - lt`s massive.

Did you prepare a special DJ set for this time?

when we do Swedish House Mafia specials

we always prepare the DJ set, when we do big festivals, solo or together.

which version of Leave The world Behind are we playing?

I think this one is great.

There`s a few remixes we could combine to get one.
