This announcement comes hot on the heels of confirmation that they will play another landmark ‘One Night Stand’ show at New York’s Madison Square Gardens on December 16th 2011. This will see Swedish House Mafia – Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso – make history when they become the first dance act to have headlined both venues. These shows, once again, reaffirm their status as global superstars.

Swedish House Mafia will join an enviable list of music legends who have headlined the National Bowl including Oasis, Green Day, Metallica, Eminem and Foo Fighters. The list of artists who have played Madison Square Gardens reads like a veritable who’s who of music dating from the late sixties to the present day.

The band are also set to release a live album (date tbc) taken from the road this year. The album will feature their much sought-after, previously unavailable Coldplay Vs Swedish House Mafia ‘Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall’ plus ‘Antidote’, their new collaboration with Knife Party (Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen).

The Swedes have already enjoyed phenomenal success to date. Not only did their recent UK tour sell out in minutes which saw a second night added at London’s Alexandra Palace, but they sold over a million singles in 2010 alone, saw their album ‘Until One’ reach Gold status, co-headlined Radio One’s Big Weekend and played major festivals including Creamfields, T in the Park and Oxegen. Internationally, their infamous Masquerade Motel events sold out in Miami, Las Vegas and Ibiza where they enjoyed a sixteen week residency.

Tickets for the National Bowl show (doors open at 2pm and closes at 11pm) are £45.00 and go on general sale from Friday 30^th September at 9am.

The album is bang on trend for what is hot across clubland right now and contains exclusives from Pryda (Eric Prydz), underground anthem ‘Bear Hug’ from 2 Bears plus big current smashes from Swedish House Mafia (exclusive remix), Chris Brown & Benny Benassi, and Axwell’s stadium-filling ‘Heart Is King’.

Creamfields is in short a winning combination of what is big in the clubs and Ibiza this summer, huge current Annie Mac and Pete Tong records and a great representation of what the world’s biggest DJs are playing right now.

In the midst of his hectic schedule we caught up with Luke to discuss his plans for this year’s SuperYou&Me parties for Cream @ Amnesia.

You headlined the Mixmag Terrace for the Cream Opening Party recently, how was it?
This was my first ever opening and it felt like coming home! I feel the Terrace at Amnesia is my spot on the island and definitely one of my favourite places to play in the world.

Your first SuperYou&Me party of the season is coming up, what can we expect? What’s new for this year?
We’re bringing bigger decorations, acts and fun stuff. We will properly represent the Super You&Me brand I have going. It should be about going back to the roots of having crazy fun. I feel those are the best nights out. This combined with the euphoria of feeling like heroes, not only the DJs should feel like that but the crowd too, it adds up to the whole experience.

Have you sorted your superhero costume out yet?
Yes I have! And they are hilarious too. I’m still thinking of going as Bruce Lee once too. It will be very easy for me. I’ll just go topples and will write three stripes on each side of my chest ha ha.

Why SuperYou&Me, where did the concept come from?
I felt a lot of the dance music experience was getting to be too cool. I was wondering where the fun had gone. I remember having stupid fun with my friends being the best nights out. The anticipation of dressing up, or at least actively being aware of what you will look like going out adds to living up to a night too. I always have had a weakness for comics and superheroes. And hell, always wanted to be one too! Now I have the best excuse to actually feel and dress up like one!

What is your favourite thing about Amnesia?
One of it is the fantastic people that work there. Same goes for you guys. I feel having a good team and having the right people behind you adds up. The Terrace room works it’s magic for me too. The way the room is set up now it feels like a festival inside. One of the best things I feel is when they turn up the CO2 too. As if you unleash a tornado onto the people!

Tiësto and Sebastian Ingrosso have turned up to watch you perform at Cream Ibiza before, is it important to have support from your peers?
Been thinking a while about this question. And although I’d love to say it doesn’t really matter, it actually does! Tiësto’s love for our style of house music is also because we are all friendly and supportive to one and another. House music was always like that. The feeling of one love. It should remain like that, and yes, having support from your peers means the world!

Do you feel under pressure DJ’ing in front of them?
Yes kind of. These are all professionals yo! People that operate on the same level. And although they’lll probably not judge me the way I judge myself, I do keep in mind that they are watching over my shoulder too ha.

What are going to be the big ‘Summer tunes’ this year?
That’s a good question! I don’t know yet really! I mean Swedish House Mafia tracks are always big and the Example/Michael Woods ‘Changed The Way You Kissed’ me is absolutely massive at the moment. Let’s see at the end of the season though.

Tell us about Wynter Gordon, how did you start working with her?
I basically started working with her after doing the remix of Dirty Talk. Her label Atlantic/Big Beat and I got closer and started to do demos. She’s an amazing human being. And a killer performer and singer too. To me she should be the next big thing as we need amazing human beings like that on top!

You’re hosting your very first SuperYou&Me Arena at Creamfields. When we walk into the Arena what can we expect to see and hear?
I’m bringing the Ibiza experience to Creamfields. My Super You&Me experience. The fun, the energy, the euphoria. I’m bringing my favorite DJs around the globe to my area too. We should all feel like heroes stepping into the Arena!

Will you be in the Arena all day or are you going to have a walk around the festival?
I’ll try to be there the most I can! Honestly though, I’m probably flying from somewhere without sleep and leaving early the next day again. But I’ll represent for sure. On the other hand though, the line up of Creamfields is a killer this year. Everyone is talking about it. I should walk around too ha!

Every year your audience at the festival grows, do you get nervous stepping out to 20’000 people?
Not really. It’s just excitement. And the rush that comes with grabbing 20.000 people by the balls. That’s how I roll behind the decks. You&Me should have the best party ever, let’s go for it!

It must be overwhelming at times?
Only when I stop and think about it. A good time for that is always after my performance. I sometimes compare it with good sex. I step off the stage and will go like: ‘God, that felt good!’. Best feeling in the world!

Have you ever been to any festivals socially?
It’s been ages, but yes back in the day I did. I did quite some partying as a teenager. That’s why I fell in love with this music. Unfortunately, with my schedule (200 flights a year, and a 150 shows), it gets really hard to have spare time to do anything else really.

Tell us about your new album for Cream Ibiza?
It’s a little Laidback Luke two hour energy package to celebrate the summer. I’m happy and honored to do it with Cream as a lot of my summer evolves about us working together.

Which CD matches your personality the best?>
It’s a continuous mix of two hours so I’d say the both of them. I really put my imprint on there. I feel a good DJ should always try and bring his own signature sound and feel. This is one of the things I try to advice new talent too.

How did you set out choosing tracks for the album?
It always starts with making a huge wishlist of your favorite tracks you want on there and try to reach out to the record labels to get clearance to legally use them for the CD. Before starting the mix I’ll have a selection of at least fifty tracks to choose from.

How did you put the album together?
I tried to put a bit of everything in there. My main quality, and what I think makes life interesting,is variation. Variation makes you love the thing you start with good. For instance, the music I love mostis house music. But after doing it for twenty years now, I sometimes get bored listening to it for over and hour. When I switch it up to Dubstep, or to a genre of house that’s not that close to me, it’s all aboutthe return to my sound after that that counts. It feels refreshing again.

What’s your favourite track on the album?
Such a tough question! As I put so many favorites on there! I absolutely love that Nero Me and You track. Such a next level song slash dance slash pop slash energy kind of track. Me and You was my inspiration to make Speak Up for instance. I’d say my remix of Alice Deejay pretty much covers the whole Super You&Me feel. The crazy stupid fun and the energy. Garanteed for a great time!

There’s a lot of your own production on there, any plans for an artist album?
I always say I’ll do an album if there’s the demand for it. I could easily do one as I make music very quickly. However I don’t feel the time is right yet.

If you were hanging up your headphones and playing your final ever set, what would be your closing track?

Amazing, what a great question! A very tough one though. I actually hope it never happens!

Have you got any collaborations on the cards this year?
Yes I sure have. My two new singles with Ministry of Sound will have some great singers on them collaborating with me and after that I have a collaboration ready to go with Sander van Doorn.

What’s next for you? Do you have a 5 year plan or go with the flow?
I do go with the flow, every year we try to step it up a little though. It’s definitely a goal to still be around in five years and to rock it as hard as I do now.

What’s been your biggest achievement professionally and personally to date?
Professionally doing an official remix for Daft Punk for ‘Crescendolls’ as I’m such a huge fan. Entering the world DJ top 20 was a good look to my family too. They finally got it lol! But the best is yet to come, that keeps me going too. Personally my best productions ever, are my two sons and finding a new way of living my life last year. A non pressured personal life with renewed energy for life where my music is an intergral part of it.

What’s your advice for aspiring DJs?
Make music, work harder and practise a lot. Stay humble and friendly to everyone. Always be open for criticism but do keep fully believing in yourself. Try and bring something unique, set yourself goals and never ever give up!

Also, visit my forum as it’s a breeding ground for new talent.
What is your first clubbing memory?
Dancing and losing my mind to Westbam’s ‘Mayday’ and realising this was the music I’d forever want to dance too.
