Eric Prydz’s Pryda alias and label has become one of the most influential and respected names in progressive house music. Celebrating its fifteenth anniversary in 2019, Pryda is proud to present an eclectic line-up for his stage at NYC’s largest and longest running electronic music festival Electric Zoo. In addition to a special set from Eric Prydz, the Pryda Arena stage happening on Saturday, August 31 will also feature Green Velvet, Joris Voorn, Yotto, Christoph, Ben Bohmer (live), and Miss Jennifer.

Synonymous with immaculately produced and unique sounding electronic music, Prydz—a platinum selling producer— is responsible for some of the biggest progressive house tracks of the last decade, not to mention some of the most technically impressive live shows of any touring artist. Pryda is Prydz’s most well-known alias, one whose sound is replicated endlessly in dance music. Listen to the discographies of any current electronic music success and you can hear Pryda’s influence—the ‘Pryda sound,’ comprised of immaculately layered melodies and harmonies, is now almost a sub-genre unto itself. Pryda’s origins can be traced back to 2004, with the releases of “Aftermath” (2005), “Muramyi” (2007) and “Pjanoo” (2008) solidifying the Pryda name within the new breed of progressive house. The 2012 release of the three-disc album Eric Prydz Presents Pryda offers a full retrospective of one dance music’s most storied discographies.

ELECTRIC ZOO: EVOLVED takes place over Labor Day Weekend August 31, September 1 & 2
at Randall’s Island Park in New York City.
