I'm a DJ. I get the party started.

When I started out, I was Avici with one i. But on MySpace, that name was taken.

When I started working on electronic music, that was after the rave period. I haven't even seen that part of it that much.

A lot of work and thinking goes into my DJing. I want the entire night to progress seamlessly and when I have to adapt the energy on the fly for the crowd on any given night, I can do so with harmonic mixes that I've practiced over and over again. I am far from the only DJ that does this and it's something I take pride in being able to do.

When it comes to electronic music, I started listening to a lot of Daft Punk, way before I knew what house music was, and then progressed into a lot of Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Laidback Luke.

It's hard - some people get inspired by a feeling, but I'm mostly inspired by melodies.
