Released 11 Years Ago: Sebastian Ingrosso, Tommy Trash, John Martin – Reload

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.
