Swedish House Mafia Reunion Marks Epic Closing of Ultra 20
UPDATE: 1001tracklists, the website everyone uses to find their favorite DJ’s tracklists, has reported via Twitter that they have “official word” that Swedish House Mafia played two ID tracks during last night’s set. That means there’s new music on the way from the Swedes, though that news is unconfirmed at this point.

Five years ago, the lights went out at Ultra Music Festival to mark the end of an era. Sunday, that darkness came to a triumphant end with a powerful reunion of the Swedish House Mafia.
The reunion felt like it was the worst kept secret in dance music of the past few weeks. They were billed as a surprise act, but Steve Angello magically cancelling shows in Asia plus their trademark three dots appearing as street art in Miami proved too obvious to be a coincidence. All doubt was removed by the time the clock hit 10 p.m. Eastern, when the familiar strains of “Miami 2 Ibiza” took over the speakers.
The mafiosos ran through the full length of their impressive discographies, collective as SHM and separate. They made sure to work hits like “Don’t You Worry Child” and “One (Your Name)” into their performance. They did play a few unknown tracks, but there’s no word yet whether they could constitute part of a new armada of Swedish House Mafia tunes.
But, fans worried that this was a one-off should take solace in words spoken by Axwell during the show’s conclusion: “This time, it’s Swedish House Mafia for life.”
