It has not been a bad few years for Alesso. The Swede has embraced the support of fellow artists Swedish House Mafia, Avicii and Tiesto, justifying the elevated pedestal he has acquired following the growth of his reputation. The success of tracks such as Pressure, Calling and Years has propelled him to the forefront of a dance music pack seeking to perfect the anthemic house sound.
City of Dreams epitomises everything that Alesso is doing right. The guitar driven intro, graced with the vocals of Ruben Haze, creates the perfect build-up for a drop that would make any of the aforementioned producers jealous. With the festival season coming to an end, the Stockholm DJ has made a convincing bid to ensure his track is the one left ringing in the ears of house music enthusiasts as the sun sets on Summer 2012.
Many fear that dance music's progression into the mainstream could begin killing the the genre; if this track is anything to go by, the mass investment, production and promotion of artists such as Alesso should not only be accepted, but encouraged.
The newly crowned king of stadium house has done it again.
