The music world was shocked and devastated last month when news hit that iconic producer and progressive house pioneer Tim Bergling, aka Avicii, had passed away. Since then, there has been an outpouring of love for Avicii and his larger than life legacy from both fans and artists alike.
As a way of doing just this, bass-house phenom Oliver Heldens has proposed the idea of possibly creating a song about, and in tribute to, Avicii. “I feel like writin a song about Avicii, but I don’t wanna disrespect anyone at the same time, so it’s prob gonna be some prog house, cause that’s Avicii to me: the best melodies.” Heldens stated on Twitter.
While we can totally respect his desire to do Avicii justice, if Heldens does decide make a song, we're sure it'll be a track that Tim would be proud of.
