Remember yesterday when you went crazy because of one out of context comment made by the Swedish DJs?
Well it’s time to clear the air. Axwell Λ Ingrosso have released a lengthy statement regarding all the publicity they’ve got cos of the comment.
“Listen up! The amount of bashing we’ve been given throughout the years for being commercial has been on a record level, and then a rather positive quote about “our” underground music gets put out of context – we are condemning underground music as a whole, and bashing where we come from? seriously? We were merely answering the question – so what do you guys think of all the underground people bashing people like yourself for moving into the mainstream as opposed to our early music… which we answered from our standpoint – i.e. underground music if that’s what people label our early releases as – for us – was our amateur stage – amateur the way we translate it from English to Swedish means when we were trying things out, as a hobby, a lovely hobby, a happy time, after a while we started moving into mainstream more as our music came more successful- or perhaps the mainstream crowd got to our music – which I guess took it from the underground to mainstream. And we were clear to say that if people liked our music great, and if they didn’t, that ok. This was about our own releases, not other genres as a whole or other artists. We had nothing bad to say about anyone, this is a super happy time for us right now. Anyways, we love all forms of music, underground or mainstream, and if you know anything about us you know very well we’ve paid our underground dues enough, and for us to be “bashing” and condemning where we come from is just ridiculous. It’s a bit disheartening to see the amount of publicity this has gotten and the fact people seem to like to find something negative to focus on – when in fact nothing negative was meant.”
No more to be said. Next time an artist makes a comment don’t let the journalism trick you into hating them.
