Following the breakup of EDM hot shots Swedish House Mafia, two-thirds of the group, Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso, got together to form the super duo Axwell /\ Ingrosso. The two debuted a track on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 and have been performing their material on tour across the globe, including sets at Governors Ball in New York and Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas as well as a residency in Ibiza.
Today Axwell /\ Ingrosso announced that they have signed to Universal Music Group's Def Jam Recordings with a debut album planned for a 2015 release, MTV reports.
"We are proud at Def Jam to have Axwell /\ Ingrosso chose us to be their label home. Their music is forward, innovative, invigorating and boundless," Steve Bartels (CEO of Def Jam Recordings) said. "Def Jam has the artistry and energy of DJ culture within its pedigree, right there in our logo. This is a significant moment for all of us as at Def Jam."
Interestingly, when the duo was still in Swedish House Mafia, they never released an official album. So this first release will be a milestone for the DJ/producers.
The duo has already released a snippet of their single "This Time We Can't Go Home," which you can check out below.
