Every so often, there would be a dancer on stage next to Alesso’s table. As the energy of the crowd sustained, so did Alesso’s. Surrounded by tons of girls with flower crowns and tutus, we danced through the hour long set, not slowing down for a second. His music raged but his visuals were mostly just lights and smoke screens. Compared to others, his set was fairly mild in a good way. He really built up anticipation with the synced lights and an increasingly fast beat, leading up to a countdown type beat. His set was packed but my friends and I were able to push our way closer to the stage. I was really lucky to catch his set at Ultra Music Festival this past summer. Using the forward momentum from the previous year, Alesso found himself on top of the charts again in 2013 with his collaboration with mega DJ Calvin Harris and Hurts for “Under Control.” In 2014 he found himself making the rounds of the world’s largest EDM festivals such as Ultra Europe Festival in Croatia and Electronic Daisy Carnival (EDC) in Las Vegas, Nevada.Īlessandro Lindblad shortened his name to Alesso, remixed some of the best EDM DJs in the world, and made a big name for himself. His collaboration with One Republic’s Ryan Tedder, and fellow Swedish DJ Sebastian Ingrosso resulted the global chart topping track “Calling (Lose My Mind).” In April he made his first BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, moved up to the 20th spot on DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJ list. With all this attention, 2012 turned out to be another great year for the young artist.
Alesso easily hit the Top 100 DJ list for DJ Mag in the number 70 spot, earning him MTV’s EDM Artist to watch in 2012. His biggest hit becoming the remix he did of “Pressure,” originally by Nadia Ali, Starkillers & Alex Kenji in fact, the remix became one of the most played EDM songs in 2011. Born 7 July 1991, Alesso hit the EDM world fast and hard, catching worldwide attention in 2011 for both his remixes and originals by some of the largest EDM artists, among them were Avicci, Tiesto, Kaskade and Swedish House Mafia.
