I believe you've spotted the best music sensation of Swedish DJ Avicii headlining last year's Heineken Thirst. And again everyone seemed thrilled to see him again,
he was back in Malaysia past November!
The "Silhouettes" music maker Malaysia on the past 30th November 2013 for a massive year-end party at Sepang International Circuit, Welcome Centre. the lineups joined along Avicii were Congorock, Bassjackers, Martin Garrix & local DJ, Chukiess on the stage.
TheSwedish DJ Tim Bergling, more popularly known as Avicii, filled the Sepang International Circuit last Saturday with the house beat that has taken many campus arenas by storm.
As soon as this up-and-coming DJ hit the stage, it was clearly worth the wait.
Groups of people began trickling into the Sepang International Circuit when the doors opened at 5:00 p.m. Slowly but surely, the crowd began to grow. As more and more people filled the stands and the dance floor, the music got louder and the lights began to change color. Swirling magenta and green circles illuminated the audience. impressed the audience with remixes of popular songs
It wasn’t until 10:00 that Avicii finally took the stage. Thousands of fans went wild as the bass, volume and lights were kicked up a notch. The inside of the Sepang International Circuit became a fluorescent rainbow. The giant screen behind Avicii and his turntables flashed his name, along with other colorful pictures and designs.
As people sang along, the beat behind the voice became more prominent and pounding as Avicii and his fans got ready for the drop. The constant exchange between voice and electronic intensity continuously riled everybody up. Even those in the VIP's were dancing on top. Everyone at the show was moving.
Avicii came out with a remixes, Only electronic pulses and beeps could be heard, with the sound of real instruments entirely absent. The music, voice and rhythm would slowly fade out periodically, only to be followed with an epic drop where the beat came back in louder and more intense than before. Being a typical progression in the house and dubstep genres, Avicii knew exactly how to use this tactic to make the crowd go crazy.
Once Avicii dropped his own rendition of this classic and well-loved song, the crowd was screaming with approval and excitement. As people sang along in unison with RHCP’s Anthony Kiedis, the lyrics echoed from wall to wall, packing the arena with sound. Avicii swiftly covered popular songs like these and carefully added a collaboration of bass and beat, providing the audience with an energetic sound that almost forced everybody to dance. Near the end of the set, Avicii played his remix of “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers, which sent everyone into frenzy as they shouted out the lyrics. A unique aspect of house music is that the DJ can take songs of completely opposite genres and tones and find a way to weave them into an electronica beat, allowing for the dancing crowd to experience these songs in a way they haven’t before. The packed sea of moving bodies on the dance floor was certainly a spectacle.
At around the end of the show Avicii dropped “Levels,” one of his most popular hits. Even as people were outside the the Sepang International Circuit walking toward the entrance, they could be heard singing the catchy melody that repeats over and over for the first minute of the song. As the beat and melody faded quickly, a voice pierced through the speakers, “Oh, sometimes, I get a good feeling, yeah.” At this point in the show it was clear that everybody was experiencing that same good feeling. As the voice continued to sing, the beat slowly came back to eventually complement the original melody.
It seemed as though Avicii was saving some of his most well-known songs for the end of his show. At about 1:00am, he played a remixed version of Rihanna's “Diamonds.” Even at this late point in the evening, the crowd hadn’t lost a bit of energy. It only seemed to intensify as this song blasted through the speakers with the bass and the rhythm vibrating through the air and out people’s fingertips. Avicii’s own energy only excited the crowd more, as he pumped his fist and moved to the rhythm behind his electronic equipment.
At the end of the show, fireworks began to shoot up in the sky
