Killers & Rockers was a house music ensemble composed of Swedish DJ Avicii (Tim Bergling) alongside American DJs Starkillers (Nick Terranova) and Austin Leeds. The trio released a single EP titled I Always DJ Naked and had intentions to produce a 12-track album. However, this project was ultimately abandoned due to Bergling’s swift ascent in the music scene following the success of "Bromance". The group dissolved as Bergling was unable to allocate sufficient time to finalize the album.
After the group's dissolution, Terranova accused Bergling of appropriating the track "Bromance," asserting that he had originally created it. Furthermore, he criticized Bergling’s manager, Arash Pournouri, for obstructing proper acknowledgment.
Background
In early 2009, Starkillers and Austin Leeds were in search of a producer to collaborate on an album. They were approached by Swedish DJ Avicii, and together they commenced work on the project. Terranova has stated that contractual complications combined with Bergling’s rising fame resulted in the album being shelved. Following Bergling’s passing in April 2018, Terranova uploaded the complete album on YouTube but was met with allegations of leveraging Bergling’s death for personal benefit. In 2024, Terranova released an additional unreleased track named "She's Fresh" and discussed the album’s production details during a livestream session.
