Now they’re finally ready to talk about where they’ve been, what they’ve been working on and why, after one major false start, their real comeback is imminent. It has been eight years since they broke up with significant fanfare about that long since they sat down for an interview as a group and 20 months since they shut down their group social media accounts and essentially disappeared. But their presence out in the open as a trio, sharing a friendly meal with two journalists, is far more unexpected. The Swedes, as they’re known in the dance music industry, aren’t actually that unusual a sight here: Axwell and Ingrosso are both members of the country club and live nearby with their wives and children Angello and his family aren’t far away in central Stockholm. Twice during a dinner of burrata, French fries, mushrooms, fish tacos and garlic shrimp, Angello and Ingrosso go off to smoke thin Vogue cigarettes. His tattooed cohorts look more like off-duty rock stars: Sebastian Ingrosso, 38, has a booming laugh and wears stylish athleisure (black sweatpants, black T-shirt, gold neck chain), and Steve Angello, 38, the group’s sober member, drinks a ginger ale, occasionally pulling back his mane of graying hair to reveal the ink on his arms. But amid this sanctuary of Nordic gentility, in a corner of the patio closest to the designated smoking section, sits a trio of men instantly recognizable in Sweden and, once upon a time, to any dance music fan around the world: the game-changing threesome Swedish House Mafia.Īxwell (born Axel Hedfors), 43, is the fine-featured one with the dry sense of humor wearing a striped shirt and shorts and sipping a beer, he blends in easily enough. On this humid evening just before Sweden’s Midsommar, the clean-cut members and their guests socialize on the outdoor patio, their small children sitting politely at a separate table.
