No, I'm not insinuating that one should go home with a Knick and forget to leave their phone number. The return of Axwell, Ingrosso and Angello to New York is going to a world-saving event, taking place in the same venue as artists like Jay-Z, U2, Britney Spears and Paul McCartney.
This is big. Swedish House Mafia, the holy trinity of house, are set to be the first ever electronic music group to play the iconic Garden, colloquially known as "The World's Most Famous Arena" (according to Wikipedia, and I always trust them). Their announcement was made last week on their teaser site www.230911.com in typical sneaky SHM fashion. Of course, if this is the first you're hearing about it, it sucks to be you because it sold out this morning. If you weren't lucky enough to get a ticket, you can at the very least turn this music up:

This show could mean a lot for house music, which is already garnering a lot of media with the not-so-underground crowd. As the official teaser states: "The magic of this is while the scene is the biggest its ever been, it's still the best kept secret in the world. Yes sure, so many of the world's greatest electronic producers are now on daytime radio 'across the globe' [...] but the beating heart of the scene...the dancefloor, is still one for the brave of heart and the true of soul."
Honestly, how can you disagree with that?
And in case you forgot just what they're capable of, here's what happened a couple weeks ago when they took over for the notorious Pete Tong on BBC1 for the Essential Selection:
We come. We rave. We love.
