The ultra-competitive contest to ink EDM giants Swedish House Mafia has ended, and Ron Perry’s Columbia has prevailed. This after much back-and-forth and many, many miles logged between Stockholm and NYC by label weasels hoping to hook this Swedish fish. The Grammy-nominated band, repped by Patriot Management capo Ron Laffitte, have regularly appeared on Forbes’ list of the world’s highest-paid DJs. The trio formed in 2008, announced a split in 2012 and reunited in 2018 at Miami’s Ultra Fest. They’ll be mounting a massive tour later this year, with music expected to drop by early summer.

Neither Roger Stone nor Frank Pentangeli could be reached for comment.
