Blueprint Artist Spotlight: ALESSO
Tue. Dec 6, 2011
Avicii.. Axwell.. ALESSO? Is the secret to dominating the House music game as simple as having a name that starts with the letter "A" and being from Sweden? Seems like almost too much of a coincidence! However, despite the alliterative similarities in these massive producer's names, it can really all be boiled down to one thing: the ability to make massive, anthemic tracks that everyone loves. In this regard, there's no doubting that ALESSO fits the bill.
Born and raised in Stockholm with Italian roots, Alessandro Lindblad's aka ALESSO's first contact with music was at a very young age when he started taking piano lessons. Despite the early contact with music it was not until the age of 17 he started to produce music professionally.
At only 19 years old and with massive original productions including 'Nillionaire' already under his belt, Sebastian Ingrosso's protege is definitely one to look out for this year! He scored an Essential New Tune on Pete Tong's BBC Radio One show with his debut track on Sebastian Ingrossos's Refune imprint during Miami Music Week 2011 and secured a second play on the world famous influential show with his killer remix of Swedish House Mafia's 'Save the World'. Support also came from Mr Tong himself by playing his rework of the Danish band Dn's smash "Heiress of Valentina" in his show twice.
Alesso will be playing at some of the world's biggest dance events this year including Creamfields, Tomorrowland, Electric Daisy Carnival and Pacha Ibiza. Alesso already supported Swedish House Mafia in London on their sold out UK tour in May 2011 for over 20.000 people.
Massive support on Alessos original tracks and remixes from Sebastian Ingrosso, Axwell, Steve Angello, Swedish House Mafia, Tisto, David Guetta Dirty South, Erick Morillo, Pete Tong to name a few.
Remixes: Alesso just recently remixed LMFAO's mega smash "Party Rock Anthem" to be released on Interscope Records in the summer of 2011. His killer remix of "Pressure" by Starkillers, Nadia Ali & Alex Kenji currently holds a top 5 position at Beatport. (June 2011) and been heavily supported by the likes of Swedish House Mafia, Tiesto, Avicii, Sander van Doorn and many more.
