AVICII ‘ADDICTED TO YOU’ (DAVID GUETTA REMIX) PREMIERE

World-renowned DJ and Grammy winning artist, producer David Guetta has given Avicii’s forthcoming new single ‘Addicted To You’ a bold and exclusive new club rework ahead of its Beatport release on February 25.

World premiere exclusive on RollingStone.com: http://www.rollingstone.com
Beatport exclusive at midnight tonight: http://www.beatport.com/release/addicted-to-you/1250830

Following the release of latest club smash ‘Shot Me Down’ ft Skylar Grey on Jack Back Records, a track that held the No.1 spot on Beatport for a number of weeks and has now by public vote become a Top 5 UK hit, Guetta & Avicii collaborate here for the first time since the pair joined forces on ‘Sunshine’ almost three years ago.

Where the original showcases Avicii’s soulful capabilities and builds upon his remarkable penchant for blending both acoustic and electronic elements, Guetta – who rarely remixes, but couldn’t say no to this, opts for a complete club overhaul, deploying a charging, bass-heavy outlook right from the off. Only pausing for breath to accommodate Audra Mae’s stunning vocal, Guetta fuses thumping basslines and huge, rip-roaring synth lines to incredibly potent effect, transforming Avicii’s original into a brooding club smash. Precision-engineered for the dance floor, expect this to be one of the year’s biggest club remixes.

Following the release of ‘Hey Brother’ at the tail end of 2013, Avicii is to head out on a now sold-out extensive international tour in support of ‘True’ in Feburary, with further tour dates also confirmed in the US. This comprehensive roster of shows will include two UK dates in Manchester and London, on February 20 and 21 respectively.

‘True’ is available to buy on iTunes now: http://smarturl.it/TrueAVICII

GLOBAL SUPERSTAR DJ/PRODUCER AVICII REMIXES CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ALBUM TRUE, ONE OF THE BIGGEST DEBUT ALBUMS OF 2013!!!

TRUE BOASTED SMASH SINGLE “WAKE ME UP” – WHICH HIT #1 IN 84 COUNTRIES, 10 MILLION SINGLE SALES AND OVER 500 MILLION VIDEO VIEWS

TRUE (AVICII BY AVICII) AVAILABLE DIGITALLY ON MARCH 24

Grammy nominated DJ/Producer Avicii is set to release TRUE (AVICII BY AVICII), the groundbreaking remix album of his mega-successful debut TRUE, released last September on PRMD/Island Records.

TRUE boasted “Wake Me Up!,” which was the fastest selling single of 2013 and hit #1 in 84 countries, topping multiple radio formats worldwide. And follow up single “Hey Brother” is already rocketing up the charts. TRUE confirmed Avicii’s status as one of music’s true global stars. Fusing charging dance rhythms with folk-esque riffs and vocals, as well as displaying a stunning adeptness for melody, his is a sound that has galvanized charts across the world.

New, fresh for 2014, Avicii is set to offer up an entirely re-contextualized version of TRUE that delivers the album in a new, uniquely exciting light. Each rework by Avicii sees him toy with the original tracks in an innovative format that showcases not only craftsmanship but a remarkable willingness to experiment and explore.

Avicii said, “It’s rare when an artist has an opportunity to rethink from a different perspective an entire work. I was excited to share this new take on TRUE.”

Showcasing a multitude of dance floor styles is thus at the forefront of what makes this such an exciting body of music. The harmonic, big room charm of “Wake Me Up!,” which works a rolling, bass-heavy twist on the original is a bold contrast to the synth-rich, disco-inspired rework of “You Make Me” but one that defines Avicii’s prodigious musical outlook. A recurring theme throughout the remix album, further exemplified by the juxtaposition of storming, club-ready edit of “Hey Brother” with a a brilliantly left-field, down-tempo remix of “Shame On Me,” TRUE (AVICII BY AVICII) is a conceptual masterstroke. Fresh and exciting, it manages to retain the personality of TRUE, whilst simultaneously extending the appeal of what made TRUE such a groundbreaking debut album.

About PRMD Records:

PRMD Records (pronounced pyramid) is the newly launched independent record label behind emerging artists Cazzette and Morten Breum, as well as global icon Avicii. Based in Sweden, PRMD Records’ primary focus is on releasing electronic music. It also has a string of recording studios and video production facilities to help develop its talent.

His first album, last year’s TRUE, was named Album of the Year by Elektro and the New York Times called Avicii “savvy and timely”, and “an artist carrying today – and tomorrow – on his shoulders.” Dancing Astronaut wrote,”.timeless.an hour of excellence.” “Wake Me Up”, the first single from the album, was #1 in 81 countries, is triple platinum in the US, and the video for the track has been watched over 235 million times on Youtube alone. “Hey Brother”, his current single, is exploding at radio and he has just launched “Addicted to You” internationally.

Avicii broke out with his international mega-hit “Le7els”which conquered club charts worldwide, garnered over 83 million YouTube views and sold over 4 million singles; and “Silhouettes,” which netted over 40 million views. 24-year old Avicii leads the next generation of electronic music producers to explode, propelling him into the ranks of superstar DJs who are able to perform to massive crowds.

Avicii launches online video platform truetube.

“Hey Brother” rockets up radio charts after huge success of “Wake Me Up”

Always looking to push the creative possibilities of his music in new and exciting ways, Avicii has announced the launch of his latest creative endeavour, TrueTube, created by Universal Music in conjunction with Fourclops. The new concept follows the ‘Avicii x You’ and ‘Gravity’ projects in finding new ways to create fan collaboration and interactivity with his music.

TrueTube: http://truetu.be/

After an incredible 2013 that’s seen him enjoy worldwide chart success with debut album TRUE, Avicii is to launch TrueTube, a brand new creative online video platform designed to give fans the opportunity to make their own music videos for tracks featured on the album. Fans are able to match online videos of their choice with a specific album track and TrueTube will merge the two, creating an entirely new and personal way to enjoy Avicii’s music.

The idea was inspired by similar concepts, most notably Pink Floyd’s infamous ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ playing in sync with clips from The Wizard Of Oz, and given the wealth of user generated content available at fans’ fingertips online, there is scope for TrueTube to generate lots of exciting new video content.

The whole experience is geared towards speed and ease of use too, with videos being generated quickly alongside in-built features that allow fans to search for key themes, watch other fan videos and even vote for their favourites. Competitions will also start to run over the coming months to award the most creative fan efforts with exclusive prizes.

Avicii’s new single “Hey Brother,” on his critically acclaimed album TRUE (PRMD/Island Records), is climbing the radio charts. The track was produced and co-written by Avicii and features vocals by renowned bluegrass singer/composer Dan Tyminski (Union Station). “Hey Brother” was added to Z100 NY, and climbed to #39 on the Alternative chart, #13 on the Hot AC, #35 on Top 40 and #26 on AAA.
