15 Things You Didn’t Already Know About Pryda

So, for the first time EVER, Eric Prydz decided to do his first official AMA (ask me anything) via Reddit the other day.  With over 1,000 questions, ranging from bizarre to hilarious, this should cover your entertainment for the moment.  In case you missed out, we’ve summarized fifteen of our favorites- the gems, if you will.

1. His remix of CHVRCHES’ “Tethers” will see an official release soon.

2. 90% of the music he plays at “EPIC 3.0” will be new. (oh, holler!)

3. He’s lost money on every single EPIC show.

4. He used to make Swedish folk music as Fiol Lasse. (#thingsyoudidntknow)

5. His favorite DJ is John Digweed.

6. He’s letting Cirez D out of the cage for EPIC 3.0.

7. If he wasn’t a DJ, he’d be a chef.

8. He and deadmau5  have some special surprises in store for their HARD Day of the Dead set.

9. This won’t be the last EPIC… the show will continue to grow and change.

10. Prydz and crew have been preparing for EPIC 3.0 for nearly a year.

11. It takes about 60 people to produce the show from top to bottom.

12. HE sang the vocals on the Pryda track “You”. (yes, he is the featured vocalist in his own song)

13. Jeremy Olander will be opening up for him at EPIC 3.0.

14. The stage and visuals are being custom-built for Madison Square Garden (featuring a 60 ft. hologram).

15. He’s got an upcoming special announcement regarding Jeremy Olander and Pryda Recordings. (hmmmm)

My personal favorite was a fan asking Prydz “if he would play at their wedding.”  Check out some of these questions for yourself in full at http://www.reddit.com/r/electronicmusic/comments/2g0x14/i_am_djproducer_eric_prydz_ask_me_anything/.
