Courtesy of Common Culture and All Mega, Eric Prydz, one of the most influential figures in electronic dance music known for his genre-defining tracks and groundbreaking live shows, is set to perform at Zorlu PSM on Friday 06 September. Prydz has captivated audiences worldwide with his unique blend of progressive house, techno, and trance, marked by a relentless pursuit of perfection and a vision that sets him apart. Tickets are available via both Biletino and Passo.
Born in Sweden in 1976, Prydz began producing music in his teens, drawing from 80s pop and classic techno. His rise to fame started in 2004 with “Call on Me,” a global sensation with its infectious beat and iconic music video. Determined to be more than a pop star, Prydz established himself as a serious artist by releasing music under aliases like Pryda and Cirez D, exploring diverse sounds while maintaining his distinct touch.
As Pryda, Prydz delves into progressive house, creating rich, melodic tracks like “Pjanoo.” Under Cirez D, he explores darker techno, focusing on raw beats and driving basslines. This versatility constantly pushes the boundaries of electronic music.
Prydz’s live shows are immersive experiences that blend cutting-edge music with stunning visuals. His EPIC (Eric Prydz In Concert) series redefined live electronic shows with holograms, 3D visuals, and synchronized light displays. His HOLO shows take this concept further, using advanced holographic technology to create surreal visuals, making his concerts a spectacle of light and sound.
Prydz’s meticulous production approach and refusal to compromise on quality have earned him a dedicated following. Known for his perfectionism, he often spends months refining a single track, making each release highly anticipated. Through his record labels, Pryda Recordings and Mouseville, Prydz has shaped the electronic music landscape, offering a platform for emerging artists.
Despite his fame, Prydz remains private and humble, preferring to let his music speak for itself. His personal battles, including a fear of flying, limited his ability to tour internationally for years, but he adapted by focusing on fewer, high-impact shows that allowed him to connect deeply with his audience.
Eric Prydz’s journey is one of innovation and passion. His ability to blend technical mastery with emotional depth has cemented his place as a leading figure in electronic music. For those lucky enough to experience an Eric Prydz show, it’s more than a night out; it’s an unforgettable journey into a world where music and visuals merge into something truly extraordinary.
