ERIC PRYDZ - video clips, songs, albums online

Eric Sheridan Prydz (born July 19, 1976) is a Swedish DJ and producer based in London, United Kingdom. The pronunciation of his surname is often questioned; it is pronounced "prids", but when under his alias, Pryda, it is pronounced "pride-ah". In October 2011, DJ Magazine announced the results of their annual Top 100 DJ Poll, where Prydz placed at #46. Until recently, Prydz had only played shows in and around Europe as he has a fear of flying. In December 2008, Prydz was forced to cancel several dates in Australia, New Zealand and Malta after panic attacks prevented him from boarding the outbound flight. On Armin van Buuren's radio show "A State of Trance" in February 2011, it was announced that Prydz recently became a father. Since 2005, Prydz has been working on an artist album. The first version of the album was originally planned for release in 2007, but after complications with the record label, Ministry of Sound, he decided to cancel the release. In late 2009, Prydz told followers on his Facebook and Twitter accounts that his album had been completed and was going to be a Pryda album. Finally, in early 2012, was revealed that it will be released as a 3 x disc album on May 21st through Virgin Records. Disc 1 will be made up of new unreleased Pryda productions which some fans may have heard as works in progress (including Shadows, Agag, Mighty Love, Allein and the intro edit of Pjanoo). Discs 2 and 3 bring together many of the classic tracks from the Pryda catalogue, sequenced and mixed by the man himself, including some of his special re-edits. The Ministry of Sound club in London hosted the launch of the 'Eric Prydz Presents Pryda' album on April 14th, where Eric played some of the tracks from the album. The bonus, for those who purchased the album legally, is free download of 'Tijuana', a track previously known as 'Space Miami ID', in WAV format. Pryda label's boss is currently working on his official debut artist album, which is due to hit the stores in late 2012.
