Swedish EDM supergroup – consisting of Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso – debuted in 2010 with their much-raved about album Until One. But it wasn't their release of their most commercially successful single Don't You Worry Child that the trio cemented themselves globally as EDM heroes.
