Avicii – Levels

Where do we start with ‘Levels’? As soon as Tim played it in his 2010 Essential Mix, everyone’s jaws dropped and they instantly saw its potential. The iconic melody is still catchy to this day. After hearing it on the radio – a mostly instrumental record, it was clear what this would do for Avicii’s career. With over a billion streams across platforms, this was a massive deal for not only Avicii but dance music in general and would be a track to pinpoint in the commercialisation of EDM.

As with a lot of dance music that crosses into the commercial realm, there was a period of time where the track did become overplayed. Thankfully that has evaporated and the track can be enjoyed in all its glory. Since Tim’s untimely and unfortunate passing, this track, as with many others, has seen a second life.
