Axwell announces release date for anticipated single ‘Whatever Turns You On’ featuring Bonn

Crucially, ‘Whatever Turns You On’ showcases Axwell‘s signature blend of euphoric, high-energy production, propelled by Bonn‘s captivating vocals. As a result, the collaboration lands as one of this summer’s most-anticipated dance releases.

Notably, the pairing makes sense on every level. The collaboration brings together two artists united by shared Swedish roots and a passion for pushing the boundaries of electronic music. Furthermore, the chemistry has been building behind the scenes for some time.

Meanwhile, Axwell opened up about the new single. “This one’s been building inside me for some time. Working with Bonn was a great joy. We share the same instinct for what a record should feel like,” he shared. “‘Whatever Turns You On’ is exactly that. Something that feels good and alive. I can’t wait to play it out this summer.”

Equally important, the new single marks the next chapter in Axwell‘s solo run. The release follows the 2025 hit ‘Until the Lights Go Out’ featuring UK duo CARMA, Axwell‘s first single in seven years. Indeed, the new track continues a solo career that has racked up hundreds of millions of streams worldwide.

Furthermore, the wider context matters. As one-third of Swedish House Mafia, one of the most iconic acts in dance music history, Axwell has cemented himself as one of the defining forces in electronic music.

Crucially, his summer is packed. Fans can catch Axwell live at Parookaville Festival (Germany) on 17th July and Amaze (Sweden) on 24th July. Equally, together with fellow bandmates Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso, Swedish House Mafia kick off their highly anticipated Ushuaïa residency on 28th June, before their landmark homecoming performances at Ullevi, Gothenburg, on 29th August.

Still, the bigger story is the run. ‘Whatever Turns You On’ is available on all major streaming services on 26th June and is available to pre-order now. In short, Axwell‘s solo arc continues to gather momentum at exactly the right time.
