A Throwback To David Guetta and Avicii’s ‘Sunshine’: The Underrated EDM Anthem

For his fifth album ‘Nothing But The Beat,’ David Guetta has collaborated with some big names in the music industry such as Snoop Dogg, Afrojack and Sia, but ‘Sunshine‘ features a back then rising Swedish legend, Avicii. For the first time together in the studio, the two DJs have produced an impressive track, but which remained one of the less listened records included on Guetta’s album. Although the single has hit 61 million streams now, it is still a pretty small record considering many of the songs on the album have over at least 100 million streams.

Avicii released his first hit ‘Levels‘ in October 2011, 2 months after ‘Sunshine‘ with David Guetta dropped. It became probably the most known EDM song and the biggest emblem of dance music. After their first collaboration together, Guetta and Bergling have met in the studio a few other times, the most specific one being for the production of ‘Lovers On The Sun,’ a track released under David Guetta’s name but co-produced with Avicii.

Sunshine‘ was premiered by Avicii at Tomorrowland 2011 and during his 2012 Tomorrowland set the Swedish DJ played a legendary mashup between his song with David Guetta and ‘Spectrum‘ by Florence + The Machine. In 2019, 1 year later after the shocking passing of Tim Bergling, David played ‘Sunshine‘ for the last time at Avicii’s Tribute Concert. The event took place in Stockholm and besides David Guetta, it featured other DJ performances from names like Kygo, Nicky Romero, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Laidback Luke as well as Live Performances by artists like Rita Ora, Aloe Blacc, Adam Lamber and many more.
