Axwell is mostly known for his work together with Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso, under the legendary name of Swedish House Mafia, but his solo work never disappointed either. In 2013, the Swedish icon released one of his biggest hits and the first song post the Swedish House Mafia breakup, ‘Centre Of The Universe,’ a track which quickly became part of the beautiful image that progressive house holds in electronic music.
The emotional instrumental is a masterpiece created by the Swedish DJ, and the piano leads of this song just give goosebumps to those who appreciate every element of a well produced track. With this production, you can feel the passion and love that Axwell has for the job and that he puts in every piece of work he does. Besides an amazing instrumental, Magnus Carlson’s vocals took the song to a different level. The lyrics and the melody of this track are just something magical and can get stuck in the heads of many listeners.
‘Centre Of The Universe’ was premiered by British DJ, Pete Tong on his BBC Radio 1 show at the time and has received great love from the audience. This resulted in Pete also naming the track his ‘Essential New Tune,’ and Axwell receiving support from names like Zane Lowe and Danny Howard. The classic also got a remode from Axwell and was used as the intro to his iconic performance on Tomorrowland’s mainstage in 2013.
This song truly takes you on a musical journey which speaks about love. It is that kind of track that reminds people of their greatest memories created while listening to it.
