Avicii's growth > From Timberman to Avicii Posted on: 09.05.2013 by Rodolfo Oriol Avicii posted a thread on a swedish music production community in 2006- but got no answers. Later on he posted another thread with his track "Brain" and got atleast some answers. I downloaded his track "brain" and got to hear one of his very first track. It's amazing to hear this and his tracks now. It's very fun too see evolution, comparing his past tracks to present time. He had very hard time figuring out how compression worked. He actually posted on the community that he worked days to figure out how compression and eq:ing worked. From what I see from his posts he had very good contacts, people who worked at universal and blogs. Toughts?

I don't personally like Avicii's music but I would take half of his popularity and fortune if it was offered. He makes shit loads of cash from playing festivals and making popular tunes. Meanwhile i'm sitting here watching AFL and eating HobNobs with a brew! It's the jealous kids with bad jobs, few shows and absolutely zero chance of ever making it that moan man, I find them both hilarious and pathetic. Wish I had the energy and time to cry so much about successful artists.

Mimi Mahaffee 19.05.2013	my fav that tim berg made is alcoholic, probably the most badass drop of 2009 in that tune. especially this remix

Hank Guidas 11.05.2013	I disagree with the argument that good taste is subjective. If it is so, then it would be true in all aspects of life. If there's no universal good or bad, then nothing really is anything. If the argument was true, one could say that trainwrecks in beatmatching sounded good.
Dannie Dimora 11.05.2013	Let's give some happiness to the thread shall we? And don't blame me for being OT, aren't all latest posts ?
Lauretta Ehrhorn 11.05.2013	It's very sad to see that the focus of this thread has been lost....again

Dedra Kreinbring 10.05.2013	I believe "mainstream" at the moment is great. When you look at the UK top 40 there is such a multitude of genres and crossovers. Just look at the top 3. Daft Punk, Rudimental and Macklemore - Ryan Lewis. 3 different genres and 3 great songs. As far as avicii goes, he has done great, and comes across as a nice guy. Serious props to him. Play nice everybody
Joesph Kasian 10.05.2013	Some of the replies in this topic are incredible - never did I know you could base your interests in life on how popular something is with other people or if they are labelled a certain way. Talk about trying too hard. What a f**king sad way to live.
Lilliana Perris 10.05.2013	You guys all need to get a room and share the love. Tossers.... Do you not get that your bickering is spoiling this community for the rest of us? Selfish C*%ts.... Get over yaselves...
Jerica Salava 10.05.2013	I hope Pete Tong can save you.
Meaghan Machold 10.05.2013	Originally Posted by DubluW So the music isn't the issue it's the marketing stance and the way songs are hashed out to the punters that you dont like, yes? of course man. if its not bumping in his moms basement, then its not "underground".... lol
Lillia Datson 10.05.2013	Originally Posted by loverocket How to make a mainstream hit for dummies: take this track and put a vocal on it. Some cute fortune cookie line for the hook like "Your future is brite tonite". Make a video of a nerd that somehow finds his groove when he finds an 8 track tape at the library. Let a big label rape your royalties so in return their buddies in radio will play it in heavy rotation 35 times a day. Then the masses who still listen to radio (brainwashed by repetitive incognisance retention) will react with involuntary familiarity syndrome when they hear it. Voila.

Meaghan Machold 10.05.2013	Originally Posted by loverocket go back and read through the thread. Using your 2nd grade reading comprehension skills, you will understand my stance. Looks like the 2nd grade comprehension skills belong to you. Your just a community troll. All that matters is that every DJ you hate on is bigger and better than you and your hate is just another drop of nothingness in their lives. You sound like a middle schooler hating on TRL and claiming your favorite emo band is better than what's on TV. Such an immature point of view. Once you accept all kinds of music, you're life will be so much better. And you might be a happier person. I actually feel bad for people like you. Your life must be so grey and sad with all the hate you spew.
Jerica Salava 10.05.2013	Originally Posted by PjAndreasson Loverocket: If a track is mainstream, you automatically change feelings for it. I wonder if your dance music tracks suddenly becomes mainstream, would it still be the same or would it become shit? Feels like you're only hating because it's mainstream, because they have a big crowd amongst the masses, rights people to work with & contacts. go back and read through the thread.

Bunny Sockel 10.05.2013	Originally Posted by loverocket The shit music should be called EM, or better yet, SHM. I play Dance Music. Believe it or not, people actually dance to it. People can like and dance to what they want. I like techno that doesn't mean that i go up to my friends that like dubstep and commercial stuff and say the stuff they like is shit. That's just rude and pointless. Loverocket dance music is great because there is so many different genres that people can enjoy let people like whatever the fuck they want and shutup.
Teresia Janusch 10.05.2013	Originally Posted by loverocket I'd rather know HOW Axwell went from good: To Shit: +1 on this! Feel the Vibe was an amazing track of his too
Dannie Dimora 10.05.2013	Originally Posted by loverocket Everything after that [LEVELS] is shit musically. > Sure?
Dannie Dimora 10.05.2013	Originally Posted by loverocket I don't even play Electro, but [Zedd - Spectrum] is impressive. The production, the musical composition and the arrangement is excellent. > Zedd's melodic tracks shine because he's a pianist and he, for one, knows how to compose a song properly.
