Eleven years ago, the electronic dance music community was gifted with ‘Reload’, a track that became an instant classic and an anthem in the EDM world. The initial collaboration between Sebastian Ingrosso, one of the stalwarts of Swedish House Mafia, and Australian producer Tommy Trash, resulted in an electrifying instrumental track released in 2012. However, it was the addition of John Martin‘s powerful vocals in 2013 that transformed ‘Reload’ into a monumental track that captivated audiences worldwide.
Sebastian Ingrosso, fresh off the success of his massive hit ‘Calling (Lose My Mind)’ with Alesso, continued to demonstrate his prowess as a producer and label head of Refune with ‘Reload’. Tommy Trash brought his distinctive energy and style, known for robust and dynamic electro house flavors, which perfectly complemented Ingrosso’s polished production. The decision to bring in John Martin, known for his emotive and soaring vocals on Swedish House Mafia‘s ‘Don’t You Worry Child’, proved to be inspired. Martin‘s contribution elevated the track, turning it into a powerful narrative of resurgence and hope.
