Swedish House Mafia on Coldplay collaboration

Swedish House Mafia are DJs Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso

Swedish House Mafia have described Coldplay as "the most inspirational band we've heard in our lives" after getting to work with the band.

The DJ threesome have recently reworked Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall which will be released in the future.

Axwell, one of the three DJs who make up the collective, said: "We've loved them for such a long time."

"It was awesome to get all of those parts and to give our touch to that track. They approved it so here we go."

New music

Axwell, speaking to Newsbeat before performing at London's iTunes festival, said the trio had waited a long time to work with their heroes.

He explained that Swedish House Mafia are also working on new material in between a busy summer schedule of live performances.

"There's a lot of stuff that is 50% done," said Axwell.

"We're waiting for a moment in time to finish it.

"There's a new track that we play out a little bit here and there that's completely different to ONE, Miami To Ibiza and Save The World but you can hear it's Swedish House Mafia. That might be the next one [single].

"It's an instrumental for the time being but that might change."

The producer and DJ explained that he and his bandmates Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso will reconvene in Los Angeles in October to write new music.

"That's the main thing we want to focus on. It's so easy to get caught up in the gigs carousel because it's awesome but it's so important and fulfilling to write music."

One track they've started working on already features drum 'n' bass act Pendulum.

"We've worked a little bit with them on our new album, well our first album actually," said Axwell.

"There's one track we're trying to finish which features them.

"It's very good. It has to be finished first - maybe we don't finish it and I've sat here and talked abut a track that's doesn't exist."
