John Summit just delivered one of the most emotionally charged moments of his entire tour. The American DJ-producer revealed a brand-new remix of Avicii‘s iconic ‘Seek Bromance’ (originally released by the late Swedish superstar under the Tim Berg alias) during his first-ever set in Sweden, framing the moment as a personal tribute to Tim Bergling on the late Swedish star’s home soil.
The American DJ broke down the inspiration behind the moment in his own words on Instagram.
“Been waiting to remix this Avicii / Tim Berg record for years but never felt it was the right time. ‘Seek Bromance’ has that perfect mix of iconic melody and vocals that hit you in the feels every time. It’s not an easy record to remix but I knew my first time playing in Tim’s home country Sweden was the right moment to finish this edit and play it out. Shoutout to Avicii for being a constant inspiration and thank you to Sweden, you all were unreal. That was seriously a night I won’t forget.” – John Summit
Why John Summit’s Avicii remix moment lands so heavily
‘Seek Bromance’ is one of the most defining records of the Swedish star’s early career. Released in 2010 under the Tim Berg alias on Joia Records, the track became a generational anthem and one of the records that pushed the Swedish superstar’s name onto the global circuit. Reworking that exact record for the first time, in Sweden, in front of the Swedish star’s home audience, is the kind of full-circle creative moment most American producers would not attempt lightly.
The American producer has been on one of the most active runs of his career across the past year. From his Tax Day-released sophomore album ‘CTRL ESCAPE’ to the announcement of his ambitious Severance-inspired arena tour, the Chicago star has consistently sat at the centre of the global dance conversation. Adding an Avicii tribute, debuted in the late Swedish icon’s home country, into that same year cements just how cinematic his current era has become.
The American DJ has not confirmed whether a full official release of the edit is on the way, but the live debut alone has already gone viral across the dance music community. Watch the moment below.
