I can not express how sad I am about the death of Tim Bergling…
If it was not for him the whole EDM scene would not be what it is today. AVICII got so many people to listen to electronic music and formed the bridge from pop to dance music. Just scrolling through Instagram after his death made me realize how many producers and DJs started expressing themselves in music just because they were inspired by AVICII.
I remember when Levels came out and someone played it in class, it was one of those songs that made everyone want to who it was from simply because it sounded so different from all the commercial EDM songs back then. I spent hours looking up who made it and when I finally found the song on YouTube I listened to it for a whole week on repeat.
