SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA ‘GREYHOUNDS’ EMI


Swedish House Marketing (yep, we stole that one from their YouTube comments) have literally gone to the dogs for their next track, transforming into robotic greyhounds to battle it out in the desert. Sponsored by Absolut Vodka, the track’s absolutely ‘something’ but what that is depends on your view of their increasingly bombastic sound. With gigantic trance synths genetically designed for


maximum arm-lifting action, there’s no doubt it’ll be casting it’s magic over crowds so large you can barely see the bar at the back, though it could also have taken them two hours to write. But even if you are as desensitised to their antics as we are to Haribo Tangfastic Sour, you have to admit the video is pretty swish. Now pass the vodka.
