Richie Hawtin, John Acquaviva and John Fox discuss EDM
Richie Hawtin’s been making the headlines often in recent times. We discussed his tour CNTRL: Beyond EDM here. He’s gotten hearthwarming receptions by all the North-American colleges he’s visited. This was especially true in Windsor, where major Eddie Francis handed him the key to the city.
This time, we’re presenting you a video from ’Electrospective’, an event created to pay respects to the development of electronic music from the modest beginnings in 1958 BBC’s Radiophonic Workshop to the widespread movement it’s become today.
This video has Richie Hawtin, as well as John Acquaviva and John Fox, elaborating their thoughts on EDM.

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!
