Not everyone understood it at first.

When Avicii premiered his new sound at Ultra Miami in 2013, many fans were expecting big-room EDM. Instead, they got live instruments, folk influences, and a completely different vision of what dance music could become.

The reaction was mixed.

A few months later, “Wake Me Up” was released and went on to become one of the biggest and most influential dance records of all time, proving that sometimes the ideas that face the most resistance are the ones that change everything.

The future rarely sounds familiar.
