Alesso, mentored by the Mafia
House | Monday 28th May 2012 | Osh
Alessandro “Alesso” Lindbland is definitely one of the revelations of the year. Born in Sweden but with Italian ancestors, he’s shortlisted for 70th place in Top 100 DJs in DJ Mag; the 20-year old has become noticed as one of the best young DJs around
He was discovered in Stockholm, his native town, after having sent a CD with some of his sessions to the Swedish House Mafia member Sebastian Ingrosso. The idea was a bit crazy in the beginning, but crucial for Alesso’s career.
Ingrosso took note of Alesso’s potential, and they shortly started to play sessions together. Even Ingrosso included him in his label, Refune Records. From this collaboration, they created ‘Calling (Lose my mind)’, Alesso’s biggest hit so far.
Alesso has remixed big artists and DJs such as LMFAO, Avicii and Duné. Also, he’s created some great remixes, one of them of Nadia Ali, Starkillers and Alex Kenji hit, “Pressure”. Which is on the way to being one of the most played songs of the summer.
In March this year, Alesso was invited by BBC1 to remix on the radio show Essential Mix, a big step-up in his career. With no doubt, a big artist is rising - he’s got the potential, and he took the chances that came his way. And now, a bright future is ahead of him.
