Half the globe has probably heard ’Levels’, an enormously successful hit by Avicii, the superstar DJ out of Sweden currently #5 in The Official Global DJ Rankings. Ever since the release on October 28, 2011 the track’s been conquering the music charts all over the world becoming nr.1 in Sweden and United States, and a top ten hit in Austria, Belgium, Bosnia, Croatia, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Probably not so well known is the fact that the track’s famous vocal part is sampled from ’Something’s Got a Hold on Me’ by Etta James, the funk and soul diva who passed away in the beginning of 2012.
The track has received numerous remixes and mash-ups over the year, but we’d like to bring out a recent video of a very eccentric way to incorporate music with environmental sounds. Matt Dennison and Jason Lucas, the authors of the video, have produced numerous projects. In this one, we see ’Levels’ being played out using sewer covers, the Skytrain, ticket vendors and a half-empty Coke bottle. Creativity at its finest. See for yourself!
