Prydz produces electronic music across a variety of subgenres, most notably house (including electro house and tech house), minimal, and techno. Aside from producing music, Prydz also runs the record labels Pryda, Pryda Friends, and Mouseville, which release most of his own music. He has enjoyed great chart success with the singles "Proper Education" and "Call on Me", the latter sampling the chorus of Valerie (the only sample ever allowed of Winwood's work), which topped the UK singles charts for 5 weeks. "Proper Education" reached number 2, 4 and 12 in the UK, German and Swedish charts respectively. Although it is reported that Eric Prydz has a fear of flying, this does not stop him from performing in places such as New York and in various countries in Europe. Read more on Last.fm.
