'Levels' by Avicii sampled Etta James's 'Something's Got a Hold on Me'. Listen to both songs on WhoSampled, the ultimate database of sampled music, cover songs and remixes. Daft Punk's Da Funk sample of Barry White's I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby.

May have retired from touring, he may have just announced a break with his long-time manager who helped make him a superstar and he may be one of the most media-shy DJs on the planet Earth, but the 27-year-old Swede is and will always be one of the most recognizable and omnipotent electronic dance producers the genre has ever seen. Pvsyst crack. Born Tim Bergling, Avicii is the only DJ who could mix Country-Western styles with EDM and not just get away with it but find smashing success. He took ' already iconic 'Something's Got a Hold on Me' vocals on and turned them into a generational anthem for 'Levels.' He's released bunches of international hits, but even his deeper cuts resonate across the spectrum of listeners.

Even when he's being cheesy, it's the kind of cheese you wanna cover your fries in and just give yourself heartburn shoving down your own throat. You just can't really knock the guy for anything (unless your, but he knocks everyone). It's hard to argue with great, catchy pop music and he's made some of the dance world's best. Here’s a list of the 10 best Avicii songs to date. 10. Avicii - 'Street Dancer' This 2011 tune isn't as famous as some other Avicii songs.

It only charted in the Netherlands, but it's one of the producer's most unique pieces to date. It's got a harder edge than most of his compositions and a decidedly '80s tropical tinge, like neon palm trees on a Miami Vice set. It samples Break Machine's 1983 track “Street Dance,” which explains that retro flair.

If you've never heard this deep cut, definitely give it a go. 9. Avicii - 'My Feelings For You' feat. Sebastian Drums This track is a super disco inferno, hunk of burning dance floor glory. It might not have charted as strong as some other Avicii songs, but it's definitely a crowd favorite.

Even hipster DJs were dropping this one every week when it came out. Maybe that's because it's technically a remix of a song from French band and, you know, hipsters love French music. 8. Avicii - 'Without You' feat. Sandro Cavazza 'Without You' arrives on Avicii's six-track EP Avīci (01) and sports a catchy melody with zippy synths reminiscent of his country-pop sound. The record features Swedish singer-songwriter Sandro Cavazza who Avicii also remixed and included on his EP. Avicii - 'Hey Brother' Avicii's album True was really out to show the world just how inclusive dance music could be. You've never heard such glistening country pop as you have on True, and “Hey Brother” is one of the twangiest dance floor favorites to ever grace the festival circuit.

Singer Dan Tyminski brings the heavy bluegrass element over Avicii's four-on-the-floor and brightly glowing synths. Fair warning, the music video is liable to make you cry. Tim Berg - 'Seek Bromance' This classic jam is so old school that Avicii wasn't even called Avicii when it was released -- he was still known as Tim Berg. Yet, we all remember “Seek Bromance” as one of the best songs in Avicii's catalog. It charted in 20 countries and reached number one on the Billboard list. Now six years after its release, you can hear how influential its been to every damn feel-good house song that came after.

Avicii - 'Silhouettes' There's something so undeniable about this pumping beat, this misty melody, and Swedish singer Salem Al Fakir's smoky vocals. It just gives us a warm, cozy feeling listening to it.
