Alesso releases his full Empire State Building DJ set

Alesso has released the full DJ set he played on October 15 on the observation deck of New York's Empire State Building, according to We Rave You. The set celebrated his new single “Fight For Love” with Kaitlin Aragon.

The Swedish DJ opened with “Destiny”, his collaboration with SACHA, before blending Rozalla's “Everybody's Free”, Benwal's “Dive” and Lykke Li's “I Follow Rivers” into one of several mashups. Others paired Bryan Kearney and Modeā's “Ready To Fly” with his own “Surrender” with Becky Hill, “Imagination” with RÜFÜS DU SOL's “Innerbloom”, and “If I Lose Myself” with OneRepublic alongside Eric Prydz and Andreas Postl's “Mighty Love”.

The middle of the set focused on his recent club releases: “Get Your Groove On”, “Smoke Machine”, “Turn Up The Bass” with JOA and Tyree Cooper, “FADE” with Pendulum and “Anywhere You Go” with Argy. He also played an unreleased remix of “Under Control” with Calvin Harris and Hurts, and his own remix of “Pressure” by Nadia Ali, Starkillers and Alex Kenji.

In the closing stretch, “Calling (Lose My Mind)” came in an Alesso outro edit, followed by “Only You” with Sentinel mixed into Avicii's “Without You”, and “Never Going Home Tonight” blended into “Heroes (We Could Be)”. After “Fight For Love”, he closed with “In Your Eyes” with OneRepublic.

Alesso is a house DJ and producer born in Stockholm in 1991. His newest studio album is “Forever” (2015), according to MusicBrainz. Earlier in October, mbuzz reported on the Empire State Building set.
