In the house

I find house music extremely fascinating. Avicii and Swedish House Mafia are among my favorite artists and I can never seem to stop listening to it. 

There are three reasons why I love house/dance music:

1.  The atmosphere when you listen to it in a group of people is so great.  You just all of a sudden get this rush going through your entire body.  I'm getting chills just thinking about it now. 

2.  The beat.  Need I say more?  I mean, it's like an orgasm of sounds from every direction.  Some may say it's a little over-the-top or too messy.  I, on the other hand, think it's beautiful.  Well, you know what I mean. 

3.  These songs usually have great lyrics if any at all.  Swedish House Mafia's "Miami 2 Ibiza" is sung by Tinie Tempah and the lyrics are very pleasing - as long as you're not a 70-year-old. 

I would absolutely love to go to a house concert.  The DJ always gets so into it with a plethora of lights and strobes.  Jumping up and down sounds really good at a time like this.

"We came, we raved, we loved"

A favorite of mine is Swedish House Mafia. Originating in Stockholm, Sweden, Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve Angello, and Axwell have released six hit singles like "Save the World" featuring John Martin, "Greyhound", and their most recent, "Don't You Worry Child" featuring John Martin. Their genre is dance/electronic so Axwell said in a Rolling Stone interview, "Know why we make electronic music? Because we can't make other music".
But their time as a group is coming to an end and have decided that this tour is their last. They stated last Summer, "We came, we raved, we loved" and it seems that they really meant it. Whenever I receive their newsletter in my e-mail, they always mention how great their fans are. Angello said in an interview, "We just decided that we reached a point where we didn't know what the next move would be," and unfortunately they didn't think of any moves I'd be happy with, but they were afraid that the constant commitments would ruin their long friendship (Angello and Ingrosso were childhood friends and met Axwell a little later). Although they have seemed to enjoy themselves with the private jets and fancy hotels. While all of their concerts include hot girls, Axwell was quick to add that they don't that they "don't have the urge of taking some random girls after the show" because they are all married with young children.
I know I am very upset over their end, but I will still tell you to listen to them if you don't know any of their music.
