Tomorrowland’s One World Radio explores history of Swedish dance music

This week, Tomorrowland‘s One World Radio has gone Swedish, and is exploring everything great about Sweden and electronic music with special broadcasts all week long which started on Monday as part of the ‘Made in Sweden’ week. Whether it’s Swedish House Mafia, Eric Prydz, Alesso or many, many other favourite Swedish exports, there is certainly no denying that Swedish artists have contributed a staggering amount to the dance music scene as we know it. To celebrate, One World Radio have come up with a stacked program to entertain on all days this week.
