Avicii fed up with ‘Levels’
Avicii’s depressed being an one-hit wonder for the larger audiences. Well, we have kind of helped along the tendency of ’Levels’ being the main subject regarding Avicii (look at the article here, after all this time, it still managaes to capture something creative regarding the track). But the Swedish superstar DJ is stressed at the fact, that people only recognize him for the one track.
"There’s so much talk; people think it’s the only track I’ve done, in a one-hit-wonder kind of way,” Avicii said. “I’ve been releasing tracks for four or five years, around a hundred released tracks and always making new stuff, so it’s just annoying hearing all the time that Levels is the only track I’ve done. We were working so hard, and things were going well before Levels, you know?”
Now, his team, the At Night Management has released a video adressing this issue. After the video you can browse through tracks which have to do with Avicii whether he’s the author, the remixer or collaborator.

Avicii ‘Levels’ played in the most peculiar way
Half the globe has probably heard ’Levels’, an enormously successful hit by Avicii, the superstar DJ out of Sweden currently #5 in The Official Global DJ Rankings. Ever since the release on October 28, 2011 the track’s been conquering the music charts all over the world becoming nr.1 in Sweden and United States, and a top ten hit in Austria, Belgium, Bosnia, Croatia, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Probably not so well known is the fact that the track’s famous vocal part is sampled from ’Something’s Got a Hold on Me’ by Etta James, the funk and soul diva who passed away in the beginning of 2012.
The track has received numerous remixes and mash-ups over the year, but we’d like to bring out a recent video of a very eccentric way to incorporate music with environmental sounds. Matt Dennison and Jason Lucas, the authors of the video, have produced numerous projects. In this one, we see ’Levels’ being played out using sewer covers, the Skytrain, ticket vendors and a half-empty Coke bottle. Creativity at its finest. See for yourself!
“Levels” de Avicii, tocado de la forma más peculiar
Probablemente, más de medio mundo ha escuchado ya “Levels”, un hit de gran éxito de Avicii, el DJ superestrella sueco, que está en este momento en el puesto número 5 de El Ranking Oficial Globl de DJs. Desde su publicación el 28 de octubre de 2011, la pista ha estado conquistando listas de éxitos en todo el mundo, convirtiéndose en número uno en Suecia y Estados Unidos, y top 10 en Austria, Bélgica, Bosnia, Croacia, Dinamarca, Alemania, Grecia, Hungría, Irlanda, Italia, Holanda, Noruega, Suiza y El Reino Unido.
Lo que no es probablemente tan conocido es que la parte vocal de la pista, está sampleada de “Something´s Got a Hold on Me” de Etta James, la diva del funk y el soul que paso a mejor vida a principios de 2012.
La pista ha tenido numerosos remixes y mash-ups durante este año, pero nos gustaría remarcar un video reciente, con una excéntrica forma de mezclar música con sonidos ambientales. Matt Dennison y Jason Lucas, los autores del video, han producido numerosos proyectos. En este, vemos “Levels” tocada usando tapas de alcantarillas, el Skytrain, expendedores de billetes y una botella de Coca-Cola medio vacía. Creatividad al máximo. ¡Velo tú mismo!
Dirtyphonics’ new mash-up video: parental supervision advised
On 23rd of October Dim Mak Records released the remix EP ’Dirty’ by Dirtyphonics. It’s received loud chants and praises from sweaty ravers since Dirtyphonics has dropped it in their sets. The dubstep and drum&bass cultivating Parisians Dirtyphonics have skillfully taken elements of electro and dubstep turning them into a high-energy track.
The EP consists of 5 tracks. In addition to the original, there’s remixes from an impressive set of artist/DJs: Darth&Vader, 12th Planet, Metrik and Nicolas Malinowsky. An ecclectic bunch of producers bring vibes of, trap, dnb and electro house to the EP. Currently #245 on The Official Global DJ Rankings, Dirtyphonics themselves had this to say :
“Being ‘DIRTY’ is more than dirt or sex for us. It’s a way to be yourself—whatever that means to you. Feel free and feel good. When you come to our show or listen to our music, it’s all about freeing yourself and having the time of your life. Be geeky, be sexy, be extravagant! Be ‘DIRTY’!”
They certainly took things to the next level with a video for the song, which is basically made out of clips from music videos that were probably never allowed for airing before the sun had set. There’s dirt from all the iconic figures of pop ranging from Christina Aguilera to Dizzee Rascal and Madonna. It actually seems that every song related to dirt, sex or extravaganza ever made, has been used in the making of this video – the actual list of videos used appears in the end of the three and a half minute madness. The video ends with the phrase 'to be continued', so that you'd be on your toes waiting for a new one. You’ll be asking yourself, how on earth could this video be officially released consisting entirely of copyrighted videos made by major artists. Let’s leave that aspect to the bureaucrats. As for the syncing of the visualization and the pumping dubstep track, you have to admit, the production team has done a really good job.
Check out the freshly released Dirtyphonics video for the track ’Dirty’!
