    Dunno what to say about him to be honest, love the stuff he does under his Pryda (Shadows especially) and Cirez D aliases, but not keen on Call On Me at all. Admittedly it was the first (and probably best) of the many 80's dance covers but I never cared for it. His remixes are usually top drawer aswell (Switch - A Bit Patchy, Steve Angello - Voices etc)

    When I heard Proper Education for the first time in the Summer i LOVED it - but its been caned in every decent niteclub ive been in over the last 6 months and now the pop kids and DJ Rankin lovers are all over it like flys on ****.

    Now he looks like a tacky piece of shít because most people only know him for his 2 worst records!! So what do the rest of you house lovers think of him? Too commercial for his own good now???

    Neither am I, but probably only because it's a bit house-by-numbers and has been played to destruction on all the radio stations. I bet if Thomas Bangalter had done it, you wouldn't hear anyone moaning about it being commercial/cheesy.

    Also, get a bit of In & Out (Dahlbaeck brothers remix) into you.

    His mixes are top drawer as well - he was a guest on John Digweed's Transitions show on the 17th December, quality.

    You can download the shows from www.mercuryserver.com - they stay up for a couple of weeks but the Eric Prydz one is gone now, I'm sure if you asked around there you could get it

    Top notch DJ and producer... It's just a shame that everybody associates him with the commercial crap that he's put out, rather than the Mouseville/Pryda stuff.

    Proper Education is a bit overplayed agreed but you can't deny the danceabilty of his tunes. He's as awesome as he is prolific imo. I love Shadows too but his best this year has been Frankfurt imo. Dancefloor destruction ahoy!:D

    I don't really know the deal with this Call on Me is. Dunno who did it first Eric Prydz or Bangalter (and then there's someone called Retarted Funk too?)

    its a shame then that someone who seems to have a respected back catalogue and underground following jeopordised his artistic integrity by making a catchy pop tune for some easy cash you mean.
