As one of my favorite followers Angie put it: unst unst unst unst wicky wicky - yeah, those are DJ sounds. It's Techno Tuesday! Eric here is a Swedish DJ and producer that is living in London, England. His surname has caused a bit of a stir in terms of pronunciation. It's actually "prids" but his stage name alias is Pryda or (pride-ah). So yeah, call him whatever you want. It's all up in the air. It was in 2004 when Prydz got his big break. And wouldn't you know it - it's on the song and album I'm showing you guys today! How lucky for you! It's a beefed up remix of Stevie Winwood's "Valerie". And I know all you guys know Stevie. He made hit after hit after hit. Okay, maybe not that many - but I do need to review him soon. This mixtape album sold over 4.5 million copies on Europe. Crazy big numbers for a 5 track mix of the same song. Part of the current success of this song is brought forth by the YouTube music video. The video is a provocative music video featuring an aerobics class of 1980's style leotard-clad women and a sole man. They are performing a series of sexually suggestive gym routines - which obviously gets a lot of attention all around the world. I found the video to be more funny than "hot" or whatever other word you'd care to use there. It's a nice play on even such current lame exercise videos like Shake Weight. Prydz has a huge fear of flying and until recently, never played a show outside of Europe. Still no plans to come to the US that I can see, but maybe one day he'll cross the pond. You really need to check this out today. If you liked the Winwood track, this is a fun listen.
