Snus, Folk Music, and Hitting People on the Head: What We Learned From Eric Prydz' AMA

Eric Prydz, the prodigious prophet of progressive house, usually likes to let his music do the talking, but with his EPIC 3.0 concert-taking place at Madison Square Garden in only a few short weeks, Prydz decided to open up. Taking time out of his busy schedule, Prydz hopped on everyone's favourite time-waster website, Reddit, for a special "Ask Me Anything" to answer questions directly from his fans. Here's what we learned:

1. When it comes to producing, less is more.

2. His private remix of CHVRCHES' "Tether" is going to be released soon.
You can hear it the official trailer for EPIC 3.0 below. Excuse us while we go change our pants.

3. There will be no recordings or live stream of EPIC 3.0.

4. A new Pryda studio album is coming out this year.

5. Eric Prydz has a secret Swedish Folk alias named Fiol Lasse.

6. He has four essential rider items.

7. He's losing money on EPIC 3.0, but he doesn't care.

8. He's made some really weird music.

9. His favourite DJ is John Digweed.

10. He has secret remixes of all your favourite tracks.
