In December 2010, before the world knew what was coming, @avicii premiered “Levels” in a small, intimate club setting. It was an early glimpse of a track that would later become one of the defining progressive house records in electronic music. Officially released on October 28, 2011, the song quickly grew into a worldwide phenomenon and played a major role in shaping the EDM explosion of the early 2010s, moving from underground dancefloors to mainstream radio and festival stages across the globe.
Driven by its instantly recognizable melody and uplifting production, “Levels” climbed dance charts in several countries, achieved multi-platinum success, and established itself as a lasting staple of DJ culture and electronic music.
Over the years, the track has come to be seen as a landmark release in EDM, influencing a new generation of producers and DJs while surpassing one billion streams across major platforms. This rare footage captures an important moment in Avicii (Tim Bergling)’s rise and shows why “Levels” continues to be regarded as one of the most influential and beloved songs in electronic dance music history.
Avicii played his iconic track ‘Levels’ during his final performance at Ushuaïa Ibiza on August 28, 2016.
