AXWELL

With Support Rory Lynham

LIVE AT SPIRIT
MIDDLE ABBEY ST, DUBLIN 1




Get ready for the hottest sounds this year. On Sunday 07 October, Total Music will bring Axwell to Spirit, Middle Abbey St., Dublin 1. The native of house music is fresh from a sellout UK tour and is bringing his full show including resident DJ’s Jon Hanlon and Rory Lynam to Dublin. Tickets are available in advance on ticketmaster.ie or on the door @ €20 each. Doors open at 10.30pm.

“I can’t wait to come back to Ireland. I love it there. We always put on a great show in Dublin and always get a great response. I spoke to Robbie Rivera last week and he said his Juicy Show in Dublin with the guys from TOTAL was unreal. They have a full show lined up with fire breathers, snake charmers, dancers and loads more. It’s going to be a huge night”, says Axwell.

Pete Tong recently crowned his single, ‘I Found you’, an Essential New Tune, helping it pick up additional Radio 1 support from Judge Jules, Annie Mac and the Trophy Twins. Add into the equation a DJ itinerary that reads like a pilot’s monthly flight schedule – Miami, Paris, Barcelona, Moscow, Ibiza and such far-flung locations as Australia, South Africa, and even Morocco and Algeria - and the facts speak for themselves.

Record buyers, label executives, DJs and his production peers equally hail Axwell in high regard. “I think Axwell is a brilliant producer,” says last month’s TOTAL Guest DJ Robbie Rivera. “His music has so much energy, soul and depth. He makes music for DJs which is what I love.” Roger Sanchez is another admirer and champion of his current placing at the apex of dance music’s elite. “He’s on fire right now. His productions go from strength-to-strength and always rock my dancefloor!”

But as the adage goes, it takes many years of hard work to become an overnight success. Starting out on what would end up as his eventual career path, nine-year-old Axel Hedfors first took up the drums, before progressing to computers and music software when most kids were riding bikes and using jumpers for goal posts. Completely self-taught, he learnt to play keyboards and programme beats, and by the time he’d reached his late-teens was already delivering the fruits of his hard work, releasing acid techno tracks made with Fasttracker2 under the pseudonym Quazar (of Sanxion).

Born in Sweden, but a self-described native of house music, it wasn’t long before his recordings found an outlet on labels like Soulfuric, Guidance, and initially, as the newly dubbed “Axwell”, with fellow Scandinavian artist StoneBridge. “Axwell has found the perfect balance between underground and accessible, not to mention the sound quality, which makes him stand out,” says the man whose Stoney Boy label released his debut single, ‘FunkBoy’, in 1999.

After dabbling with Latin-infused house under the guises of Mambana (with Afro Medusa singer Isabel Fructuoso) and then Jetlag (with vocalist Noel McKoy and co-producer Brian Tappert), Axwell again changed stances.

The dawn of the new millennium saw him hone his house sound, and in the process not only his production stature, but also his demand as a remixer. The catalyst his pairing with Robbie Rivera and songstress Suzan Brittan in 2002 on ‘Burning’, a track that would eventually reach the summit of Billboard's Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart two years later. In 2004 he also enjoyed a pan-European hit with vocalist Errol Reid on ‘Feel The Vibe’; a year later Ministry Of Sound re-released the song as ‘Feel The Vibe ('Til The Morning Comes)’ with additional vocals supplied by Tara McDonald. A top 20 UK chart position followed. 2005 also saw him issue ‘Watch The Sunrise’, sung by Sheffield’s Steve Edwards (the man behind hits for Cassius, Bob Sinclar and Xpress-2) peaking at number three in Dance Singles Chart on his Axtone imprint. Twelve months later Positiva gave it a domestic release to critical acclaim.

Mix-wise he’s been responsible for restyling club and crossover hits for Usher (‘Burn’), Room 5 (‘Make love’) Stonebridge (‘Put 'Em High’), N*E*or*D* (‘Maybe’), Hard-Fi (‘Hard To Beat’), Moby (‘Slipping Away’), Deep Dish (‘Dreams’) and Pharrel Williams (‘Angel’). His versatility to be able to change from out-and-out disco to rock-infused indie beats, and then wordy hip-hop rhymes, helping propel him to most major label’s first port of call, in the process providing DJs with essential tools for their trade.

With ‘I Found you’ generating a massive buzz, you’d think it might overshadow ‘Get Dumb’, Axwell’s all-star pairing for Data Recordings with Angello, Ingrosso and Laidback Luke that is already creating a huge buzz in its own right, and similarly is set to take Ibiza by storm. But the two complement one another perfectly and further underline why 2007 is shaping up as the biggest year for the native of house music
