Lemmiwinks Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 I think EVERYONE knows Eric Prydz for his remix of Call On Me... anyway, I was listening the radio and stumble on a GREAT psy track (already a surprise to hear psytrance played on daytime radio...), I hear that the track is by some mysterious "Pryda"... and a check on discogs shows me that it's none other than the "non-commercial" alter-ego of Eric Prydz! anyway, it is a GREAT tune, I'm happy to see some mainstream names showing interest in our scene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Qwu1TWeZfA Quote
MAM015 Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 I don't like these mainstream names , but i like this track (especially the beginning strings) This is not exactly psytrance but rather some progressive techno dub+low-FX. Simple and efficient Quote
frozen dream Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 check out pryda - melo, love that 1, but it's not psytrance, more on the proggy side Quote
Tom! Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 deffo wouldn't call it Psy, but that's a quality track for sure. He's also Cirez D. Quote
DreamWalker Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 Great (although not Psy) track. Glad to hear that good stuff can be found on the radio these days. Quote
PRS Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 why you think this is psy is beyond me... but i suppose if you want it bad enough you will hear it. Quote
MattMan Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 Is this psytrance? What is psytrance? Where am I? What time is it? Quote
Lemmiwinks Posted September 19, 2010 Author Posted September 19, 2010 why you think this is psy is beyond me... but i suppose if you want it bad enough you will hear it. well it sounds like progressive psy to my ears... the melodies follow an oriental scale, that's pretty psy-ish in my book Quote
pr0fane Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 I wouldn't call this track psytrance (not that it matters though) - just good music. If you look beyond major radio hits like "Call On Me", "Pjanoo" and his remixes of Calvin Harris "Flashback", Faithless "Not Going Home" and Pink Floyds "The Wall" - "Proper Education" (well, they are actually all very good compared to most mainstream club tracks to be honest) Eric Prydz has been making amazing tracks for many years on the progressive house scene as Pryda as well as his more techno-oriented project Cirez D. My favorites are "RYMD", "Armed", "Frankfurt" and last but certainly not least: his remix of Paolo Mojo "1983". A 12 minute long masterpiece Quote
rino Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 Old news I guess. Pryda has been rocking clubs across the european continent with this sound, along with his Cirez D alias (as someone already pointed out) years before Call On Me became the official challenger to Danzel's Pump It Up as the track which can actually repeat the same phrase over and over again beyond anyone's possibility of counting... Kidding. A few friends of mine have been to his gig a few years back, and they were positively surprised. They expected to get drunk listening to 28 remixes of Call On Me, but instead heard a two hour plus set of deep progressive grooves. I wasn' there though. [DC] was playing elsewhere the same night, so we were there. Quote
RTP Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 really nice track I like it ... and what appears to be the B-side of that record (M.S.B.O.Y.) is great too... I never pictured Eric Prydz to be an interesting artist, I hate Call On Me Quote
MAM015 Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 really nice track I like it ... and what appears to be the B-side of that record (M.S.B.O.Y.) is great too... I never pictured Eric Prydz to be an interesting artist, I hate Call On Me yeah me too but this tack is awesome, deep groovy prog. I left the house scene because i couldn't find theses track anymore, so i guess this track just made my day Quote
Guest nectarios Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 RYMD, Horizons and Odyssey are proper bangers...not to mention the Mousville Theme. Lots of shite tunes along the good ones on that Pryda & Friends label tho... Quote
karan129 Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Great track, thanks for sharing! If only more progressive was like this.... Quote
Pulsar Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 I never pictured Eric Prydz to be an interesting artist, I hate Call On Me God, you are really missing out http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k4MbcA2OKo http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnAaagAN2ZE And his b2b with Adam Beyer on Exit was... Well you get the picture Quote
Elysium Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 His productions has always lacked a certain professionalism in especially sound quality. I liked a few of this tunes but overall I find him overrated and an artist mainly pushed forward by Beatport who according to inside rumors (by certain people working at Beatport in Berlin) added him to the top downloads without actually selling enough to be there.

RTP Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 God, you are really missing out I WAS missing out thankfully I am not anymore: http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzLK4hfYF7E my gosh, this is awesome. the first part has an almost Atmos-esque feel to it... Quote
Petersburg Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I like the honesty and indeed the humour in the thread. I do agree that generally we are all chasing links, hence the comments. Although occasionally we all comment on sites simply because we have a real empathy with the subject matter. Quote
