The Producers: Axwell

I'm a little late on my happy Monday post. The 4th of July weekend got me a tad behind all the way around. I had carnivals, fireworks, and a live jam in the garden.

This video set is a group of songs tweaked by producer Axwell. Axwell (born Axel Hedfors) is a DJ, remixer, record producer and record label owner from Stockholm, Sweden.

Although his years behind the decks began in the late 1990s at many gay clubs, his profile got larger when he teamed up with Robbie Rivera and vocalist Suzan Brittan to record "Burning." The collaboration went to number one on Billboard's Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 2004.

In late 2004 Axwell released another global hit, "Feel The Vibe", which was re-released under Ministry of Sound in 2005 with added vocals from Tara McDonald as "Feel The Vibe ('Til The Morning Comes).

Axwell has been producing remixes for other artists - recent mixes have included Usher's "Burn" (BMG), Room 5's "Make Luv" (Positiva), Clipse & Faith Evans "Ma, I Don’t Love Her" (RCA), Stonebridge's "Put 'Em High" (Hed Kandi), N*E*R*D's single "Maybe" (Virgin), and more recently Hard-Fi's "Hard To Beat", Deep Dish's "Dreams", Pharrell Williams' "Angel", Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous" and Madonna's "Jump".

This set includes Axwell's "I Found You", "Feel The Vibe" and his remix of Sunfreakz "Counting Down The Days".

So now that it's Monday evening and we're all limbered up, maybe we can keep up with Axwell's dancers. Uh right....

Happy day.
