Swedish House Mafia :: Final Set @ Ultra Music Festival :: 3.24.13 I wouldn't consider myself a huge Swedish House Mafia fan, however, I definitely would not dare to say that I do not respect what the trio has done for electronic music around the globe.  Their music might not be exactly my favorite blend of tea, however, the Swedish stars do put on an enthusiastic show and I've definitely raged once or twice in their honor.  Whether you are th ...
