DJ-Set, Events, Progressive House | Avicii LE7ELS # 006 + US Tour
Posted by Middy on March 27, 2012
Avicii has released the 6th episode of what was supposed to be his monthly “LE7ELS” podcast today after spending the last 3 months feverishly touring. He commences the podcast with his own half hour of handpicked tracks, starting with his highly anticipated collaboration with Nicky Romero “Nicktim” and then moving through tracks such as “Troll”, “Calling (Lose My Mind) and Eric Prydz sublime remix of Midnight City. For the throwback track for the podcast he chooses the classic Axwell track “Feel The Vibe” with its funky bass line and groovy melody. Avicii & his manager Ash talk about various things ranging from their House For Hunger Tour to his upcoming tour dates including his live tour he will be premiering at Coachella and using all summer. Sebastian Ingrosso takes over for the second half hour with hits from SHM such as “Antidote” & “Greyhound”, as well as playing Michael Brun’s widely supported progressive bomb “Rise” and his upcoming collaboration with Alesso & Steve Angelo “Ecplise (Why Am I Doing This?). Overall a very solid mix with a good balance of electro and progressive house and not surprisingly a strong presence of Swedish producers. Tracklist after the jump.
Also if you have not already, get tickets for Avicii’s arena tour this summer where he will be doing a live show that Avicii has been hyping a lot. More info including dates HERE.
Events, Preview, Progressive House | Avicii – Last Dance (Preview) + US Tour
Posted by Middy on March 24, 2012
Last night Avicii premiered his upcoming single “Last Dance” previously known as “Somacho” on Pete Tong’s Essential Selection show. It is an old song from him so some of you may not be familiar with the track, but this is one to be reckoned with and is defintely different from the track he used to play out in late 2010, early 2011. This will be released “soon” on Warner Music. I hope this a start of a trend for Avicii to release the songs he has had lying around for years. Cannot be certain but with this track getting a release and his collaboration with Nicky Romero “Nicktim” (official preview below) getting set for release, we can hope he will be releasing some of those gems in that vault of Avicii tracks.
Avicii is coming back to the US this summer for as he says “His biggest tour yet”, going to the biggest arenas and stadiums all across the US. This tour will be something massive and you will not want to pass up the opportunity to see Avicii in this type of a venue. Tickets go on sale at 12pm on MONDAY, so get your cash in hand and be ready. Dates and more info after the jump.
