Honestly, Avicii deserves the shit he brought on himself.

By placing a broad generalization on all DJs (deadmau5 did it better), he insulted the kind of people that would draft a response like this. Mr. Askew did go a bit overboard with the sarcasm, but I agree that Tim Berg's music has become an obstacle to creativity and reflects the kind of problems that fame brings to kids who were originally spinning for parties in friends' garages.

Anyways, Askew is right. Levels is the basis for all of Avicii's songs.

Pretty much if you actually like-LIKE Avicii's music, you don't know shit -- about anything. Askew is pretty cool I guess, but I only listened to him in 2004-2006 and that will still way better than any of Berg's crap.

^^ Well said regarding his music.

It's so sad what dance music has become. I saw a video on youtube of avicii "in the studio" working on a track and he was of course using fruity loops, nexus, and sylenth1. He appeared to work very slow too and clearly doesn't have good pitch memory as it always took him several attempts to find the notes he wanted. I honestly thought it was a joke/parody making fun of him so I researched it further and it actually was Avicii and he was seriously "producing"

So, so sad.

producers are dumb. Perhaps nerdy in some ways but usually have no concept of people, marketing and decades of music industry.

One of the biggest problems with producers is that they don't seem to understand how fucking hard it is to market a producer. DO you ever see artists having to explain their studio ? And are more people interested ? But the dance scene being so fucked up as it is seems to focus on a producer nobody gives a fuck about, unless it has nothing to do with production which sort of makes you wonder what the fuck is wrong with everyone.

If the dance scene didn't have alcohol revenue, money laundry backed clubs and an economy that has nothing to do with the music in any way, they would have to deal with this sort of simple concepts of why people get into artists and why nobody likes nickleback.

The dance scene, the music part is run by complete morons but labels realize that the money is not there and so you still have the mainstream of EDM producers thinking beatport is relevant in any fucking way, you have producers thinking dj promos do anything at all and just a bunch of idiotic ways of doing something that perhaps made sense in 1995 are just ass backwards.

The new breed of producer, the ones that actually make money and maintain a certain level of integrity sell themselves as artists. And people buy into that. They buy at itunes because nobody knows what the fuck beat port is.

I'd listen to Avicii rather then Askwho.

Seriously, there are tons of ducers like askwho. They seem like fabricated.

Avicii's music is actually far more creative and intriguing to listen/analyze.

You're acting like John Askew's "music" has any more credibility. There's something both sad and absolutely laughable that a cheap software "trance" producer like John Askew could ever act like he's above anyone else.

We are talking about somebody who collaborated with John O'Callaghan here. John O'Callaghan - the most talentless and unoriginal producer of cheap fruityloops "trance" ever to make it "big".

I will now go and listen to some recent John Askew stuff and see what it's like. Forgive me for being skeptical that he's suddenly become very creative and original.
