Biographie
Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, Eric Prydz was born on 19 July 1976 and is also known by other popular names, Pryda or Cirez D. The producer and artist started to gain a lot of attention with his track “Call On Me” which featured a sample of Steve Winwood’s “Valerie.” The track charted fairly high in Germany and England, but despite it’s popularity, it had gained more attention by the “salacious” video, so Prydz tried to move away from the track and work to gain the proper recognition: for his music.
In 2006 he released a remix of Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick In the Wall, Pt. 2” entitled “Proper Education.” By 2012 Prydz released his full album via, Virgin Records, featuring all of his previously unreleased songs and other songs from his Pryda catalogue. The three-disc album titled “Eric Prydz Presents Pryda” peaked at number fourty on the charts in the UK and eighty in Belgium, however it was still his live performances that people seek out.
2014 proved to be another successful year for Prydz. He celebrated the ten year anniversary of his label, Pryda Recordings, and announced the third instalment of Eric Prydz in concert, complete with large indoor holograms.

Where do I begin?!
It was sublime! Eric Prydz was in beyond stellar form! This was my first time seeing him 'Live', I swear it won't be my last! The venue was perfect! Intimate really. My daughter and I were 10 wonderful feet behind him and could see every inflection of his genius musical manifestations! It was art I'm motion! He started off with one of my favs, 'Frankfurt.' I nearly came undone! His seemingly natural ability to interface with his audience is beautiful. I a 55 year old woman (I'll be 56 on Monday Nov. 7th) and came very close to cancelling this event feeling as if maybe I was too old! I'm so glad it didn't. I was well received and danced my booty OFF! His handlers were kind enough to offer myself and daughter water from the crew's personal stash! I got a gratis drink ticket from his security guard cause he said he liked my dancing! The international attendees is just what America/The World needs right now! And Eric reached US ALL!!!! I got the chance to meet Eric after the show. I was shocked he took time to talk to us! I got a hug and kiss on the cheek! And a photo!!! He asked if I enjoyed the show. What could I say but YES a Million times Yes! Humble, humane and kind he is. My 84 year old mother listens to him also! She affectionately calls him, 'That little Eric Guy.' It's not often to find such great talent and humility in the same person. Eric Prydz is one of a kind! A genuinely talented, Hell! Beyond that! He seems to have a real desire to entertain from the depths of his being! We Love You Eric!!! And Thank You ever so much from the deepest part of my Heart for sharing your Soul with all of us! God Bless you and your family! Thank You!
With Much Affection,

P.S. A newest wanton follower of Pryda!
For contrast, the way Prydz dropped his remix of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" -- a seminal dance track -- was as undramatic as possible. When Armin van Buuren uses the same remix in his festival headlining gigs, it's often cause for fireworks and certainly functions as a dramatic peak. It's the same with "Every Day," which landed Prydz at the No. 3 spot on Billboard's Hot Dance Club chart but is presented as just another chapter in the development of the night. The man knows his way around an anti-climax. What he gained in quality and credibility he may have lost in impact, as the crowd -- observed from one of the balconies -- certainly wasn't going too wild. Prydz' mastery is his ability to command and then educate audiences who might walk into a concert with more commercial, big-room understandings of dance music. If there's a downside to not doing hand-hearts and telling audiences to sit down before blaring, obvious drops shake the walls of the venue you're DJ'ing in, it's that you risk having to touch a crowd on a deeper level than the "rage" metric too many of today's top dance acts are still trying to approach. But as a dance music observer, this writer was impressed by what's either Prydz' natural credibility or insistence on not changing his format. For fans with slightly deeper tastes, the show is a solid night of club music, an almost wordless opera with many acts, messaged and divided by visuals as much as music... For mainstreamers simply buying tickets to every "EDM" show in the tri-state area, it was probably just a fun night with plenty of Instagram-ready moments.
Eric Sheridan Prydz, perhaps Sweden's most recognisable electro/dance DJs and producer has a reputation as one of the most epic live acts currently working the circuit due to his expert merging of high quality music with surrealistic visuals. He may only have one studio album, yet he has a handful of hit singles and early EPs to choose from.
It is also worth noting that he has remixed infamous material by some of the world's most celebrated artists including Michael Jackson, Duran Duran and Pet Shop Boys. His all-consuming stage design illuminates and the waiting crowds explode in cheers of excitement. Taking his place proudly behind the decks, the party kicks in as Eric drops some of his own most loved tracks as the screens and lights begin showing fire, thunder and lightning.
Prydz is really going all out on the near biblical dance atmosphere and his crowd, or disciples are ready to surrender to him as he drops favourites such as 'Call On Me' and 'Animal'. There is no need for a hype man during Eric Prydz's show as the music gets the crowd energised and enthusiastic and when he drops his latest remix collaboration with Chvrches the whole stage just explodes in a barrage of light and sound. A tough act to follow and deservedly described as epic.
I think Eric did the best job he could despite the show was at Opera nightclub. He does not have room to set-up all of his lighting/hologram effect. So, the show lacked those highlights(not his fault.) Plus, this venue can be stuffy due to the security, and being in this part of the city. A better venue would have been The Tabernacle I had a good time, just hope he plays in better venue next time. :)
WHAT A GREAT SHOW. Eric knows how to control a crowd, gets the ready with pryda then throws down with Cirez D and mixed some Eric Prydz in there. One thing tho, if you expect him to play a fan favorite don't get your hopes up, this guys setlist is probably different every night, hell every song that I really wanted him to play he didn't end up playing which sucks but hey....he was FIREEE none the less.
Eric Prydz In Concert, EPIC. No one would be so foolish to call their concerts epic in this day an age, unless they truly were.. Last night was spectacular music. And it was a live dj set. Prydz started where the first dj left off and may be played only 2 or 3 of his own hits. I don't know where the two hours went. Highly recommended concert if you love house music.
Music and visuals were outstanding, I have never seen anyone make such good use of the lighting provided at rebel. However the crowd was terrible, not only was the venue far too oversold, the people there were not the rave crowd I was expecting, just a massive group of seemingly rich bros tryna get lit on a Friday night.
If he comes anywhere near where you live see the guy. Best producer/dj/liveact around! Verydeep and progressive. True Swedish brilliance. Highly recommend seeing Eric Prydz. Progressive as it comes. Dj hit me with those laser beams.
Fantastic concert and great venue! What an amazing light show -- the holograms and lasers were just unbelievable. Nonstop dance party! Prydz was on top of his game, and I wish I went to both the Friday AND Saturday show.
Excellent extended set. Started off the first 1.25 hours with all new tracks, and started sprinkling in older tracks. 3rd hour was tried and true banging anthems. Overall an amazing show!
