Today we lost a legend. Swedish DJ Avicii, Tim Bergling, passed away suddenly at 28.
While there have not been many details around the artist's death, the news has hit the dance music community hard. Personally, so much of Avicii‘s early work helped me fall in love with dance music.
Today, I've spent much of the day listening to songs like ‘Levels', ‘Bromance', and ‘Penguin'. The legacy of Avicii will no doubt live on forever. His euphoric, happy productions helped push dance music into the mainstream culture. There is no other way to really put this, it just sucks. Dance music's biggest names have spent today honoring Avicii, sharing their experiences with the legend's music.

. @Avicii was talented and kind, and I was genuinely excited to see what would come next from him. His future most certainly should have been written beyond age 28. I am
heartbroken.
Rest easy Tim.— Kaskade (@kaskade) April 20, 2018

Terrible + tragic to hear about @Avicii's passing. His work not only influenced the dance music industry, but also was a gateway to so many new fans that will be the backbone of our scene for many years. The Jim Morrison of the EDM generation. Thoughts and prayers with his family

Such an eye opener for me. I was headed down a path very similar had I not made certain changes in my life. So, actually, thank you a lot Tim for helping me realize this. You’ve impacted my life in many more ways than you know. Thanks man. pic.twitter.com/gt5tZFy841
