Further, everyone plays each others’ tracks at their shows, then covering or remixing it even more. Likewise, DJ’s remix each others tracks all the time, and it’s actually become widely popular that about a month after someone releases a song, someone else remixes it. For instance, Martin Garrix’s recent single, “Mistaken” sounds fairly similar to several of Swedish House Mafia’s iconic melodies. Many artists look to others for inspiration, but they also sample and remix their peers’ songs. Some may argue that it can be traced to being from close knit European families or the desire to make a mainstream hit, but it also can be attributed to the incredible impact that these various producers had on one another. For example, Kygo, a Norwegian DJ/producer, looked up to Avicii for inspiration, and there are several comparisons that can be made between their music. But as he changed his overall sound, so did those that followed suit. It was considered a gift according to his peers and co-writers.Īs the years went on, Avicii’s production had transformed from hardcore EDM with heavy synth sounds and intense beat drops to be geared more towards pop and folk music.

His frequent collaborators mentioned that “ was said to have a rare gift. Spin Magazine’s recent cover story emphasized the immense impact that Bergling had on so many people. Throughout the last several years, not only did a number of DJs idolize Avicii’s talent, but also several songwriters. However, places such as Ibiza, Amsterdam, Miami, and Las Vegas grew to become major EDM hubs. Likewise, it became apparent that Stockholm and other cities in western Europe were the origins of mainstream electronic dance music. Around 2013-2014, it was clear that the niche genre of EDM was becoming more mainstream as a result of these producers, more specifically, because of Avicii. At the time, Avicii was was among great company with Stockholm’s Swedish House Mafia (Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Steve Angello), as well as other Dutch and French artists. He not only became an inspiration for young producers and DJs, but also to fans all around the world. While it was known to his peers that he was indeed suffering, no one imagined this to occur…especially at 28 years young.Īvicii became a household name between his 2011 breakout hit “Levels” and 2013 pop/folk crossover “Wake Me Up,” which featured singer/songwriter Aloe Blacc. It was a complete shock to his family, friends, fans, and of course, the music world. Gone way too soon, Avicii passed away from suicide on April 20th, 2018.
He was born in Stockholm, Sweden as Tim Bergling, and later became known as Avicii, one of the biggest figures as a DJ, producer, and songwriter within the genre of electronic dance music.
