"His tracks can sound samey"


"But d00d he makes teh best kick synths/drums/hi-hats/mix-downs evar!"


"You win the argument!"

Check the audio section of http://www.ericprydz.com/ There's some recent stuff posted, but I don't know if it's what you're discussing. Track called "Tribute to STHLM."

WHAT THE F*** HIS SITES UP!!!!

go to Audio/Video, then click Audio. His new tracks such as Rymd, Tribute to Stockholm, and Armed are there

I agree with RJT, mostly everything I've heard from EP has sounded similar as shit. He has a samey kind of sound to him. Lets not be in denial . Doesn't mean he isn't a talented producer.

Eric Prydz suffers from what I like to call "The Probspot Effect."

Back when Global DJ Broadcast was all the rage (it may still be popular, but not as much as it was) Probspot produced a tune that literally everybody and their second cousin began to spin. He then produce another track, and another, and another. All were hits. The problem with them? They sounded as though he stuck with the same synth presets, almost as though he would simply change the melody, bassline, etc. in each track and rename it. Prydz is the same way. He's had a particular success with one style of sound, and it appears as though he's too afraid to branch out of it.

That's not to say that the sounds of Probspot and Prydz are bad, because they're not. They're good, and in some cases great. There's just a little deal called, "too much of a good thing." It's overload. I don't want to listen to the same type of track on every release that an artist churns out because it gets boring.

Another problem with Prydz is his repetitiveness. He has some great ideas for his music yet decides to make songs excessively long at thirteen minutes while including very few variations throughout those thirteen minutes. They start out with a small build, build into a break, the beat will kick in and it will continue to build, then break into a storming beat. The melody will go away for a second, and that process will then repeat two or more times.

He has great ideas, I'm not going to fault him there. He just needs to be brave enough to try something new and risk losing the fans that want only those tracks that will make them throw their hands in the air.

P.S. STHLM is meh
P.P.S. He shouldn't have been allowed to touch Pink Floyd

I don't like "Tribute to STHLM" a lot.
Pryda - RYMD is nice, though! nice flow

RYMD and Armed are great. At first the siren effect in RYMD drove me nuts, but I'm over it.

Blueberry was indeed his best production...everyone whored that shit when it came out.

Ok...just gave them a listen. Big fan of RYMD, not so much Tribute but either way, like it, hate it, think they all sound samey...they have dancefloor killer written all over them and I KNOW you kids will go apeshit when you hear them

Ok so who is gonna rip those samples. Sounds great. Is that set avaliable? Live at Grodan?

My guess is Eric has the liveset @ Grodan and hasn't released it yet. It's nowhere on the net
