Recommended by Molly Krause
Avicii (also Tim Berg, Tom Hangs, and Tim Bergling) is a Swedish DJ and producer who shot to fame when his 2010 singles "Bromance" and "Seek Bromance" made the Top 20 of Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the UK's national single charts. His first release "Lazy Lace" in 2008 on Strike Recordings resulted from a remix of the Commodore 64 video game's theme song. Since then he has gone on to sign with Joia Records, Vicious Vinyl, and Ministry of Sound and release singles "Fade Into Darkness" (2011), "My Feelings For You" (2010), and "Levels" (2011). Avicii, who sites Daft Punk as a musical influence, was ranked 6th in the 2011 Top 100 DJ poll. Primarily categorized as house, the 22-year-old artist continues to gain popularity and is currently on tour in America.
