Released 18 Years Ago: Supermode (Axwell & Steve Angello) – Tell Me Why

Before becoming part of the supergroup Swedish House Mafia, Axwell and Steve Angello were already making waves in the dance music scene. The close friends frequently collaborated in the studio, appearing on singles such as ‘Get Dumb’ and ‘Leave The World Behind’. However, under the duo name Supermode, they released ‘Tell Me Why’ on July 24, 2006. This track, their only release as Supermode, sampled ‘Why?’ and ‘Smalltown Boy’ by Bronski Beat and quickly became a dance floor anthem.

As a solo artist, he released consistent hits, including 2008’s ‘What a Wonderful World’, 2012’s remix of ‘In My Mind’, and 2018’s ‘Belong’.

Steve Angello, known for his casual demeanor and dedication to his craft, has earned his “legend” status as a member of Swedish House Mafia.

He continues to receive upwards of 5 million monthly streams, reflecting his enduring influence in the music industry.
