Original caption

when the DJ decides to troll the crowd😂 Avicii "Levels" might just be the most recognized track of the past 20 years, so playing a prank right before it is exactly how to make the crowd not expect what's come away from the usual intro. After the fakeout, the DJ lets the melody take over and the rest is left unsaid @danechkabelyi / @jblaudio
