Description
Eric Prydz releases his debut double album Opus on February 5 via Virgin Records. Opus is a personal narrative through the diverse and rich soundscapes that make up one of electronic musics most unique and respected producers. * Producing under multiple aliases and straddling house,* techno and more,* Prydz is a twice Grammy nominated artist,* who has risen to the very top of electronic music. Hes headlined solo shows at iconic venues like Brixton Academy and Madison Square Garden,* yet refused to give up his roots in underground club culture. For the breadth of his career his productions have walked a delicate and admirable path,* straddling the increasingly divided world of electronic music,* drawing admiration from chart toppers and underground icons alike. * Opus eschews hyperbolic concepts,* reinvigorating the electronic music album format by showing a record can still be smart and anchored by the dancefloor. Refusing to be pigeonholed or constrained,* Opus is filled with the same spirit that saw an 8 yr old Prydz reject formal piano training due to its rigidity. From breathy melodic euphoria to stripped back dark minimalism,* Opus is quintessentially Eric Prydz,* immaculately produced,* soaring but intimate,* euphoric and melancholic,* and underpinned by those singular Prydz melodies. * Prydz released over 30 tracks in 2015,* celebrating decade long milestones of his most popular aliases,* the melodic house of Pryda and the dark techno of CirezD. But despite this prolific year that underscored the popularity of his signature sounds,* Prydz refuses to look backwards,* and surprises on Opus,* imbuing the record with a real sense of discovery. * From the golden-age of Swedish techno that dragged him into club culture,* to the synth-pop of the 1980s that sparked his love affair with electronic music,* Opus reveals the influences that have shaped Prydz,* while also being his most personal and intimate work to date
