While on tour between the two weekends of Coachella, house artists Axwell and Madeon stopped in Denver, CO on Thursday April 19 for an awesome show at the Ogden Theater. The French seventeen year old took the stage and immediately engaged the crowd. He played his own hit, Icarus, then got everyone to sing along to Calvin Harris’ We Found Love. Madeon also revved up the show in his classic black blazer as he danced with everyone to Rolling Stone T-shirt by Dada Life. Then, Swedish superstar, Axwell, stole the stage and gave nothing short of an exciting and energetic set that had the entire theater dancing and singing until the very end. At the peak of the show, he played his remix of In My Mind by Ivan Gough & Feenixpawl, shooting off confetti cannons at the drop that made the crowd scream for more. In addition, Axwell played one of our personal favorite remixes from him and Dirty South of Sweet Disposition by The Temper Trap. This show was memorable and will make house fans put Madeon and Axwell on their list to see again in the future, we hope they come back to Denver soon.

They will also be joined by Denvers very own Ecotek for whats sure to be a night of blissful house music! If your in Colorado April 19th then be sure to make it out to this event.

Axwell’s Cosmic Opera, New york City

Thursday night I had the pleasure of attending NYC’s Cosmic Opera, a 6 hour electronic music event in NYC with the DJ lineup of Axwell, Deniz Koyu, and NO-ID. For those of you unfamiliar with Cosmic Opera, it is a 3 part music event in NYC with the goal of creating an epic EDM experience similar to the experience of attending an opera. I got there just in time to hear Deniz Koyu’s set and he definitely did not disappoint.

Koyu played an original set of mostly his own tracks and was able to keep the crowed going for 2 hours. A highlight of Koyu’s set was of course Tung and when he dropped his brand new remix of FLG’s “So Much Love.” Following Koyus set was a 10 minute break, where an opera singer flew through the room singing, leading up to the drop of the curtains and Axwell’s set.

Axwell opened up with an intro version to his new huge release on Axtone “In My Mind” which sent the crowed into a frenzy. His second track of the night was Swedish House Mafia’s brand new single “Greyhound” which sounded phenomenal live.

Axwell gave an unbelievable 2 and a half hour performance that kept the crowed on it’s toes the whole entire time. Other highlights of his set included Dubvision’s new single “All By Myself” which is out on Spinnin Records February 27th, Arty & Matisse & Sadko’s Trio, Nari & Milani’s Atom, and a mashup of the Funkerman and Third Party remix to RHCP’s “Otherside.” All in all Cosmic Opera was a huge success and I would not be surprised if the Cosmic Opera brand expanded nationwide. Cosmic Opera is back in NYC in April, lineup and ticket information will be announced shortly.

Shout out to the fan who was seen at Cosmic Opera raging in a Remix Nation tank!

Ivan Gough & Feenixpawl Feat. Georgi Kay – In My Mind (Axwell Mix)

Axwell has done it yet again. Though the original song has not been released yet, Axwell’s mix of ‘In My Mind’ I believe is the best release so far in 2012. Classic Axwell, perfect production, a variety of sounds and an instant dance party with the drop. Pick the track up on the Axtone site along with all his other massive releases. Can’t wait to hear the original, PrivateParty!

Michael Calfan- Resurrection (Axwell’s Re-Cut Club Version)

Its been quite some time since we have last seen a new Axwell track surface, but the wait is over and we couldn’t be more excited! If you’ve seen Axwell perform lately, than you definitely have been hearing this track in his sets. As the years go on, Axwell continues to dominate the dance scene by selling out venues constantly and producing massive tracks. His productions skills are incredible, and after listening to this track, you will know why. If you haven’t already, make sure to check out the video above! This video was very well done and documents just a taste of what’s its like to be Axwell for three minutes. Enjoy!
