The iconic Swedish spirit brand has a 30-year history of creative collaboration with leading artists in music, art and fashion including Andy Warhol, Jay-Z and Keith Haring.
The most recent collaboration is with house music band Swedish House Mafia formed by members of three - Axwell, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso. The band has created a music video exclusively for Absolut Vodka, which is an expanded partnership in the band’s global tour - “One Last Tour”. In the expansion of the sponsorship, there will be exclusive pre-parties and after-parties with interviews and meet and greet sessions for the fans.
In the Greyhound music video, the robotic greyhounds controlled by the three artists in a coursing game give a fast and futuristic feel about the beat. The Absolut bottle and its drink were the only thing served to the audience. Here is the link to the video.
Swedish House Mafia will be performing at Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach on 18th January 2013. Get your tickets here.
