►SCRIPT

So the first thing I noticed is Avicii’s mixing technique. Like other EDM DJs, Avicii prefers to only affect his next track’s Low EQs when mixing them in.

So he brings his next song’s Low EQ all the way to the left side before blending the next track in.

This is done so he can have more sonic space to bring up the next tracks volume when mixing.

Now, he only brings the Low EQ of his next track back up to the 12 o’clock position, when he’s ready to blend and transition to the next track, which in most cases are when he reaches the outro sections of songs.

What’s different though with his EQ style compared to Martin Garrix is that he doesn’t prefer to affect the current song’s Low EQ when mixing out, instead, he simply brings the current song’s volume down

Now, to make his transitions sound extra smoother, he also tends to use an Echo effect on the current song when mixing out.

This technique helps smoothen one’s mixing, because instead of just shutting down the previous song’s volume and being done with it

*Demo*

You can let the song naturally fade out with an Echo effect

Now one of the ways DJs like Avicii keep the energy of the mix up, is that they have the next song’s Build up section begin right after the current song’s Chorus ends.

This helps retain the momentum of the mix and keeps the overall flow going.

Because if you don’t mix to something right after an EDM chorus, what you’re left with is a breakdown section, which could be boring for hyped up listeners

Now if you wanna how you can apply this trick in your DJing, stick around till the end of the video.

Anyway, speaking about hyping things up, let’s move on to Accenting

So accenting is done by a DJ for 3 reasons.

1. To make a track sound more exciting and cool
2. To give the mix a more live feel
3. And to do just something, besides dance, and mix the next track in

Now one of the ways Avicii accents his tracks, is by activating an Echo effect on them right before they reach their next section

It’s a pretty simple technique to do, and it just works by activating an Echo effect, and cranking its Level/Depth knob from left to right

Sometimes Avicii alters this, by implementing a High Pass Filter Sweep on top of his Echo sweep.

And now let’s talk about where Avicii tends to mix his next song in. So like I mentioned earlier, he likes to have his next song’s Build Up section begin right a songs chorus ends.

And this is done by counting your beats, and mixing your next song in, at the right section in the current song’s Chorus section.

So as you can see in this illustration. Our next song has a 32 beat intro before its Build Up section begins, so therefore we should mix this song, at the last 32 beats of the current song’s outro section

Most EDM DJs actually mix there, because it’s the easiest place to blend and EQ tracks. You can do your smoothest transitions with an Intro section and outro section.

Levels was the first time I was introduced to Avicii and it was through this that opened the whole EDM genre to me. he was my gateway in, but he always had his unique style with his music that other producers could never copy. The songs that I hold closest to my heart are SOS and Heaven. Brings a tear to my eye as I type this message cause the song Heaven has a very strong meaning to me and every time I hear it I relive a little bit of the magic that was Avicii. I know I'm not alone in saying we miss you.

[alilshort]

Really difficult to pick my favorite song because they are all a masterpiece. But at the moment, I really enjoy his remix of Drowning by Armin van Buuren.

[kassiperpro]

A true musical genius! Still miss him every day

[muzix]

Avicii is one of the best producers. His songs always inspire to make more better songs. And Nights is my favourite avicii song.

[tyreceism]

my favourite song by Avivii is "seek Bromance". one of his earliest songs, truly a masterpiece.

“For a better day” -Avicii
Bless up!

[electro_sykes]

he was my favourite DJ and is a big inspirtation to me, alongside Acraze, Tiesto and James Hype

[djkoavlog]

Tim AKA Avicii was my role model, inspiration and the real music genius !! Every song was a Classic with amazing composition and its really hard to choose just one but with Don't wake me up he literally proved that he was the G.O.A.T!!!

[winsbrar]

I was thinking about How avicii Dj and his technique, I thought I will scroll in your videos but you made it now.
Thank you 🙏🏽

My favourite Song from Avicii is Levels. R.I.P I will never forget him.

[oraclexxx]

Seek Bromance is my fav. Usually producers do their best work in the beginning then become watered down and commercial. Avicii was a hell of a great producer with basic music theory knowlage yet his ability to hear and create melodies and chords was exquisite!

[cjsmith]

I didn't get into Avicii until fairly recently. I watched his documentary before really listening to his music. Hit me like a ton of bricks. I couldn't help but shed a tear or two. His passing should teach us all that no matter how much money we have or how famous someone is, we're only human. Everyone has their limit. He was truly an artist, a wizard, a genius. He will always be on my playlist. Thank you for your video man.

[alexvanrijn]

It's true, but this legend is a hero for life

[axelacevedo]

The Nights helped me to see life even better
Avicii it’s always going to be in our heart ❤️
so live a life you will Remember

[DanielWalker.]

I think my two favorite Avicci songs are waiting for love and levels. Levels was one of the first EDM songs I've ever heard and waiting for love is just so cool especially when you throw Martin Garrix's mashup in it. 🍀

[leopolddjurovic]

"Long Road To Hell" from "True (Bonus Edition)" is very underrated. You can't dislike the Kazoo, Whiplash and falling chord progression in the chorus

[musicbyalxndr]

Favourite Avicii tracks.

Levels, Rapture, Drowning Remix, Forever Yours, SOS, I Could Be The One, Bromance, True Believer, City Lights, Talk To Myself, City Lights, Lonely Together, Silhouettes, Superlove, My Feelings For You, Jailbait, Hey Brother, Fades Away, UMF anthem, Bad Reputation and All You Need Is Love!😍 These are songs I can listen to over and over, never get tired of!🥺❤️

[evilsohn]

Thank you avicii for inspiring DJ Carlo on his path that led to him making these incredible guides 💜✨
Favorite song? Probably „wake me up“ 😅🤷🏼‍♂️

[pabloromo]

These artists like Daft Punk, Deadmau5, and Avicii really got me fully into EDM and I still can't believe that he's gone but his legacy lives on to all his fans and future producers. Thank you, Carlo, for showing us something new, and let Avicii Rest in Peace.
