October marks the 14th anniversary of “Miami 2 Ibiza,” a hit collaboration between Swedish House Mafia and English rapper Tinie Tempah. Released as the second single from the group’s debut compilation album, Until One (2010), this track swiftly made waves in the dance music arena. It was also featured on Tempah’s debut album, Disc-Overy (2010), and Swedish House Mafia’s follow-up compilation, Until Now (2012). By January 2011, the single earned a gold certification in Australia, marking a significant milestone for both Swedish House Mafia and Tinie.
Swedish House Mafia—comprising members Axwell, Steve Angello, and Sebastian Ingrosso—achieved worldwide recognition in the early 2010s. Their groundbreaking sound, a fusion of house, progressive, and electro genres, captivated fans globally. With iconic tracks like “Save the World” and “Don’t You Worry Child,” the trio played a pivotal role in shaping the electronic dance music (EDM) scene. Their high-energy performances at major festivals further cemented their reputation as trailblazers in the genre, attracting enormous crowds and inspiring countless new artists.
The music video, directed by Christian Larson, debuted on YouTube on October 1, 2010. It portrays a couple’s vacation journey through Miami and Ibiza, showcasing the story of a strong, independent woman. Larson’s vision was to highlight a character who takes control of her life and experiences.
Today, “Miami 2 Ibiza” continues to be a timeless anthem, perfectly capturing the essence of the early 2010s dance music movement and resonating with fans across the globe. Experience Swedish House Mafia‘s “Miami 2 Ibiza” below:
