Strictly Rhythm has announced that one of the brightest new stars in the dance music scene, Avicii, will select and mix the next ‘Strictly Miami’ compilation, due out on the 5th April. The next instalment in the acclaimed Miami series features both new and classic tracks from the legendary Strictly Rhythm catalogue, alongside some of the Avicii tracks and remixes that have made him one of the most talked about emerging new artists. The selection of Avicii to mix this album underlines Strictly’s forward thinking approach and ongoing mission to continue pushing the boundaries.

Strictly Rhythm head of A & R, Seamus Haji comments on the decision to work with Avicii, “We’re always moving forward on a global level and Avicii is a DJ Producer that is really making a name for himself right now and inspiring a lot of the new breed. He knows how important the heritage of a label like Strictly is and I think he’s done a great job of combining his sound with ours and introducing us to a new audience.”

No one involved in electronic music could have ignored the influence that Sweden has had on the global scene in the past decade. Avicii a.k.a. Tim Bergman is the latest in a line of talented Swedish DJs/producers with the ability to shape the future of dance music. Still only 21 years old, he is responsible for the huge crossover hit ‘Bromance’ (under his Tim Berg alias), and as Avicii, counts the likes of Pete Tong, Tiesto, Sebastian Ingrosso, Axwell, Laidback Luke and many more as fans.

By the same measure, no one involved in electronic music can ignore the contribution made by Strictly Rhythm to dance music since its inception in 1989. The Strictly catalogue contains seminal dance tracks that defined their era. So, it seems fitting that as all avenues of electronica converge on Miami for the yearly celebrations, Strictly Rhythm and Avicii come together to deliver the best ‘Miami’ album you’ll hear this year.

Avicii’s current status is underlined by the fact that in Miami this March, he played all 3 days of the Ultra Music Festival; day one – headlining the main stage, day two prime time slot on the main stage, day three headlining the official afterparty at Mansion. His rise over the last 18 months has been nothing short of spectacular! His current standing was underlined in the IDMA awards at the WMC in Miami this month, where he was nominated for 5 awards, including Best Breakthrough DJ and Best Remixer. He walked away with Best Breakthrough Artist, beating the likes of Afrojack, Wolfgang Gartner and Janelle Monae.

If you want a taste of Miami this year then look no further than Avicii and Strictly Rhythm.
