Whenthe line up for this year's V Festival was announced we couldn't believe our luck to see 2/3 of the Swedish House Mafia, Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso teaming upfor a new chapter of dance mayhem in what doesn't feel all that long since the supergroup disbanded. The Swedes were backunder the guise oftheir new show Axwell Λ Ingrosso...and headlining our very own MTV stage no less in Chelmsford last night (August 17).

Such was the excitement of their return, the feeling manifested itself withafire up in the rafterstwenty minutes into the show!Thankfully, theprofessional stage hands ensured the show could carry on with a bang...figuratively speaking...10-15 minutes afterdealing with the tiddly flames.

Feeling: For this reviewer at least, the anticipation to see two of the world's top DJs reunited again on our turf was electrifying. Having just gotten into the spirit of the show, the technical hitchwas unfortunate but ever the master DJs, they knew exactly how to whip us back up into a frenzy.

The Look: Shrouded behind a black veil in true SHM style, Axwell and Ingrosso stood on an LED-lit plinth, flanked by percussion instruments with a square lighting set up forming a cage around the duo.Trippy visualisations on a huge screen behind them sucked you into their world whilefireworks, smoke cannonsand coloured flame throwers were used to effect sparingly (we all know thesedance acts love a good blast of CO2!).Ironically the best pyrotechnics came AFTER the real fire...

Tunes:Dropping past tracksthey've madetogether, separately, or as part of SHM, tunes like Center Of The Universe, Axwell's In My Mind remixand Mafia faves Leave The World Behindand Greyhound,we also heard forthcoming new material from the pair like Can't Hold Us Down and On My Way. Keep your ears peeled (?!) for those soon.

There wereedits and mash ups galore, fusing the choruses fromthelikes of Disclosure's Latch, Oliver Heldens' Gecko (Overdrive) andEd Sheeran's Sing into the devasting drops of bangers like Clockwork's remix of Congorock's Bless Di Nationmaking the set more accessible to any 'first timers' inthe crowd.

A corkerof an ending with Daft Punk's One More Time spliced with Save The World followed by Ingrosso's belter Reload ensured this year's MTV stage was signed off in spectacular style with thousands of revellers bellowing out the words.

Banter: Applauding the crowd for sticking around while the "microscopic fire" was sorted out, Axwell wason MC duties to thank the thousands in the audiencefor supporting themand moreso for alerting them to the 'danger' overhead.

Celeb Spots: This was no time to be on Celeb Watch, we were too busy reaching for the lasers!

Sweat Factor:Able to feel the burn of the flame throwers a good 100 metres back into the crowd, there must have been a few singed eyebrows this morning from the keenos down in the front row! Sweat? Of course!

Summary: They came (back), we raved, we LOVED! All that praying to the gods for the return of the Swedes (two out of three ain't bad) paid off with the twosome putting on a show of epic visuals and euphoric tunes. Props for not being divas about the technical difficulties too. Welcome back guys,world tour soon? Kthanksbye!
