In the wake of his death last Friday, April 20^th, EDM pioneer, DJ, producer, and artist, Tim Bergling, a.k.a. Avicii left behind a legacy at the age of 28. Today his family released a heartfelt statement first reported by Variety:

“We would like to thank you for the support and the loving words about our son and brother. We are so grateful for everyone who loved Tim’s music and have precious memories of his songs.

Thank you for all the initiatives taken to honor Tim, with public gatherings, church bells ringing out his music, tributes at Coachella and moments of silence around the world.

We are grateful for the privacy during this difficult time. Our wish is that it continues that way.

With love,
The Tim Bergling Family”

Although the official cause of death has not been reported, Avicii had been dealing with numerous health issues over the years. In 2016, at the age of 26, Avicii made the bold decision to retire from live touring. He had hopes of starting a new chapter in his life and getting back to what he really loved – making music in the studio.

At such a young age and in such a short time, Avicii accomplished what some artists cannot accomplish in a lifetime. His 2013 hit, “Wake Me Up,” undoubtedly had an impact on electronic dance music culture. Not only did it help elevate electronic music into the mainstream, but also pushed it into the “pop” genre overall. A true pioneer, we won’t soon forget Avicii as an artist or as an amazing human being. Below are a just a few highlights of his career.

Fans and fellow DJs have shown an outpouring of praises and tributes. An especially moving tribute came from DJ and producer, Kygo at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. He ended his Coachella weekend 2 set by saying, “In honor of Avicii, I want you to dance and sing along and let’s celebrate the life of a true musical genius.”

We agree with Kygo – the best way to celebrate Avicii’s life and career is by playing his tracks, dancing to the infectious beats, and keeping his memory alive through his music. Below are some of our favorite Avicii songs. Find these and more by the talented DJ on BPM Supreme.
