The Brilliance Of Avicii - Producing "Dancing In My Head"

In this phenomenal 6-year old video from Future Music, we get to witness the late Avicii (Tim Berling) demonstrate, in thorough detail, the compositional process behind his hit track Dancing In My Head.

Being the music producer that you are, it’s very probable that you’ve seen this video at least once since it was released – and it’s an absolute treasure. Berling gives us over an hour of raw, genuine, artistic foresight as he works through his song, and for that reason, this was arguably the best In The Studio segment that Future Music has released thus far.

Through sheer artistic talent, Berling made an unforgettable impact on EDM’s rise to prominence in pop culture. We can all remember the day when we heard EDM on public radio for the first time, and Avicii was an integral component of that early shift.

It is sorely unfortunate that Berling has said goodbye to the world he imparted such an immensely positive impact upon. From aspiring music producers to the everyday listener, the inspiration and influence Berling’s music has provided us will continue to live on. Rest in peace, Avicii.
