On the day Swedish DJ and electronic pop juggernaut Avicii died back in April 2018, the world prematurely lost one of its most beloved musical dynamos. The architect of some of the decade's most effervescent pulse-pounders - Wake Me Up, Levels and Hey Brother to name but three - we’re pretty confident that if he were still with us, there’d be many more entries in his genre-blurring stable.
For us, the one track that burns brightest of all (and perhaps most poignantly since his death by suicide) remains The Nights. A clarion call for day-seizing, this country-meets-EDM-banger was unleashed back in November 2014, hot on the heels of Avicii’s first flush of global success with his 2013 debut album True, and its barnstorming lead single, Wake Me Up.
