Maitrai Joshi, a DJ at the Muscat Hills Resort, said he spotted Avicii and understood the dance superstar was on vacation in Oman for the first time and had extended his stay. Avicii was among the first DJs to break through in the mainstream as electronic dance music grew over the past decade from nightclubs to Top 40 radio. On Instagram, the pop superstar posted a picture of herself in the DJ booth with Avicii and wrote: "So Tragic. Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven called Avicii "one of the greatest names of music in Sweden in modern times." "Banter aside, nobody can deny what he has accomplished and done for modern dance music and I'm very proud of him," Deadmau5 tweeted.
