EDM DJ sensation Avicii will be releasing his debut album on Sept. 17.

The 21-year-old Swedish DJ announced Thursday that he will be releasing his first studio album, #TRUE, in September. Avicii, a.k.a. Tim Bergling, achieved mainstream success for his song Levels in October 2011. The song sampled Something's Got a Hold on Me by Etta James, which was also sampled on Flo Rida's monster hit Good Feeling.

"This is about me being true to my sound but also to my own influences and musical preferences," Avicii told Billboard on Thursday. "This album consists 100% of songs I personally love. It's true to me, true to my brand, true to Avicii."

The DJ debuted some of the songs that will be featured on the new album at the Ultra Music Festival in March. Avicii introduced live instruments to his act, which got mixed reactions from fans.

"Disruption is good when a scene is half stuck," he said, of the performance. "We wanted to bring 15 minutes of something fresh to break [Ultra] up. We knew people would be provoked."

Avicii is a part of Island Records, which will join forces with PRMD Music for the debut album. The DJ called PRMD the most "artist-centered label out there" and the partnership with Island Records "adds muscle and experience."

Avicii is optimistic that the album will reach his fans in the same way he appreciates his music.

"For me it will be successful if it resonates with people -- no matter how many," he said. "It's what I stand for, so whoever loves it loves what I love. That's what fans are to me."

Wake Me Up, the first single off #TRUE, will be released on iTunes on June 26. The song is currently available on SoundCloud. Listen to Wake Me Up here:
