Mansion (comprised of Toronto talents DJ Barletta and Violca) take Swedish superstar DJ/Producer Eric Prydz‘ huge ‘Pjanoo’ track and give it a filtered, glitched out makeover ideal for peak-time club action. Shit bumps!
Visit Eric Prydz on Myspace for tour dates and such (he’ll be making big stops in Vegas, SF, and LA this week and then heading over to Europe & Australia until the end of January- check him out if he’s in your area!)
A staple of the L.A. club scene, DJ Paparazzi is DJ, producer, arranger and club promoter.
Until yesterday, the last we’ve heard from the man was his ‘Yummy Knockout’ edit of Gwen Stefani’s ‘Yummy’ which smashes it up against Cirez D’s (a.k.a. Eric Prydz) ‘Knockout’. We threw that little jam on this here blog not once but twice.
But this is today, and Paparazzi has shared with us his newest remixes—putting his twist on two of our the best things out there: Rochester NY’s finest club wrecker Kill The Noise and the ice creamy, dreamy, LA to NY electro punks Hearts Revolution. Epic win.
Paparazzi is resident DJ and ringleader at club DANCE at one of LA’s Arena in Los Angeles. It’s a lax 18+ to dance, 21+ to drink. Admittedly, the soundsystem is one of L.A.’s very best. If your curious peep the club’s MySpace or the official site, DanceAtArena.com for mo’ info & club photos.
Let me wrap this up with Paparazzi edit of the late great country & western hero Johnny Cash’s ‘Get Rhythm’ from 2006. Get yr toes tappin’ to teh rhythemzzz.
Pryda is yet another alias of Swedish super producer Eric Prydz, yet this underground project is a far cry from his ‘Call On Me’ type production. The stuff he releases under the Pryda moniker is straight up classic electronic at it’s finest.
The track ‘Muranyi’ has been a long sought after track since Pryda first dropped it one of his live sets a few months back. It’s pretty progressive, slowly building up to that chiptune-esque melodic chorus which will have you pushing the repeat button like no other.
The Muranyi / Balaton 12 inch was released September 5th on Pryda’s self titled label. You’d better pick up your copy while they are still around. And if you enjoyed that gem, wrap your mouse around this unreleased diamond.
The busy man that he is, Eric has also has created finely crafted tunes as Cirez D since 2003, we posted about this alias back in April. The latest Cirez D release is titled ‘Horizons’ was released on Mouseville and the side A of the 12 contains a heater of a track called ‘Tigerstyle’.
Our fine friends over at Juno always have your back when it comes to acquiring this type of material. Visit Eric Prydz on his myspace page to stream more tracks.
When you think of the name Eric Prydz most likely spandex clad ladies doing pelvic thrusts come to mind. That because of the exciting video that accompanied his 2004 hit “Call on Me” which was an obvious remake of Steve Winwood’s ‘Valerie’. The song was catchy & the video was even catchier which I recommend you watch if you aren’t at work or your mom &/or girlfriend is not home.
Recently Eric remixed Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick In The Wall” which is titled ‘Proper Education’. Both songs are excellent, the latter even more so. However if that’s all that you’d heard from the Swedish producer you’d think of him as a somewhat chart topping producer, not capable of anything deeper.
Enter Cirez D, one of Eric’s many aliases. Under the name Cirez D he releases more of his dancetastic beats, but a little less poppy & tad bit darker. I picked up the Diamond Girl 12″ from Juno, mainly because of the title which reminded me of Nice ‘n Wild’s “Diamond Girl”. This isn’t a remake of that (although someone should totally redo that) but it is nice a solid track.

Eric Prydz only plays shows in and around Europe. He does not travel to the USA or Asia because he is reportedly scared of flying so all you Yankees are S.O.L. Add Eric on myspace.
I meant to post this on Saturday but my internet connection is a little bitch. & my ISP plays more games on the phone than an eighth grade girl on summer vacation. But, it’s working right now. So, here we go.
This week in the blogoshpere: Discobelle.net Drops Flosstradamus‘ ‘Act A Fool’ which is a mash up of Lil’ Jon & their track ‘Ravestradamus’. We’ve been on the hunt for ‘Ravestradamus’ since we heard it in Jokers of The Scene’s Holiday Mixx Mess. This is just as good.
