Most of you will know Eric Prydz (aka Pryda, Cirez D, Moo, etc) from his 2004 hit Call On Me or last’s summer’s brilliant Pjanoo. To be fair to him he does make decent house music likeable to the masses which you have to give him credit for, but some of his best work is probably as Pryda.
Anyhow, thanks to El3ctronight yesterday I picked up what was called ‘Unknown Track 2009′. Its a brilliant track, dunno what its real name is just yet but we’ll find out soon enough I hope. But I was checking his lastfm page and saw a few people were raving about tracks called Lift, Melo and Reeperbahn. So I got these and WOW are they amazing.
Lift seems to be a remake of Pjanoo, or at least remix/sampling, as the main chorus definitely resembles it. Its more of a progressive house track though, less fast-paced, really good overall though. Reeperbahn starts ok, but when it gets to around 3 minutes, it gets fantastic – again the progressive element comes in, but this time accompanied by some African voice samples which really add to the track. And finally Melo, oh my. This track is so unbelievable, its exactly what prog house should be – it sounds very Deadmau5-eque and generally amazing. Melodic, yet modern and electronic, it really is unreal! I think its overtaken my Little Secrets as my track of the year (or April anyway, my memory’s failing me about the other months!). Can’t stress enough how much you need Melo at least.
Also have a listen to Diamond Life (feat. Julie McKnight) (Muranyi Mix), nice vocals and house. And the Designer Drugs remix of N.A.S.A.‘s Strange Enough, one of my fave tracks of theirs, but I think the original is better.

Pryda is possibly a worse stage name than Santigold!
