When it first dropped in 2011, Levels quickly became the earworm we didn’t know we needed, thanks to its infectious synth lead and an iconic vocal sample that stuck in your head like gum on a festival floor! 13 years later, fans and fellow producers still bump this legendary track from Avicii as if it were yesterday's main act.
A Show-Stopping Start
Before Avicii flipped the electronic music scene upside down with his country-infused production on his debut album True, he rose to mainstage status thanks to his house music smash hit Levels. This early banger, along with Fade Into Darkness and Bromance, catapulted our Swedish star faster than a DJ’s wrist at a bad drop! It was truly the release of Levels that solidified Avicii’s status as a music icon, and jumpstarted Skrillex's early ascent with his legendary dubstep remix of the track.
