Axwell - Axel Hedfors - does not mince his words when it comes to summing up what has been an obscenely successful year for him: "I have been travelling the globe enjoying life to the fullest!"

And who can blame the charismatic and sought-after Swede? With the Swedish House Mafia (consisting of himself and fellow Swede DJs Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso) taking off everywhere and anywhere and a number of his own tracks released separately throughout 2010, the past 12 months have been "a great rollercoaster ride", as Hedfors himself puts it.
Perhaps even more than his SHM counterparts, Hedfors enjoyed considerable solo success throughout the year, particularly through 'Nothing But Love', an energetic club ballad featuring vocals from Errol Reid and the first single from an upcoming Axwell album.  

"Incredible," says Axwell. "It's been scary to see how big that tune has grown, and it's been scary to play it and watch the club turn into mayhem. Scary in a good way!"
