It happened at a set last March in Austin, Texas. Eric Prydz played “Call on Me”.
It was a long-standing dance flip as the legendary Swedish producer could never play his 2004 hit again, who lingered in the elements of Steve Winwood's 1982 Soft Rock Smash “Valerie” from 1982. “Call on Me” hadn't been heard in a PryDZ set since 2005.
But on March 15th at Austin Venue The Concourse Project, Prydz dropped it and initially played Winwood's original “Valerie” before switching. The audience (and then the internet) was crazy. As Prydz tells it, he was even surprised.
“I just searched for my SD card and saw a special processing of the track I have,” said Prydz recently to Advertising board In a story about his new Holosphere 2.0 show. “I turned to my tour manager like” Stefan, should I play “call on me”? “It was almost like a joke. I said,” Are you sure? “I said:” Well, it is in the same button as the track I play now, so I just played it.
Contain on Advertising board'S List of the 100 best dance songs of all time, “Call on me”, was published by Prydz about the Ministry of Sound in September 2004. Winwood loved the track so that he even re -recorded his singing for Prydz.
Told prydz Advertising board While playing the song “strange”, since he hadn't played it for two decades, “it was time”, I added that I would still wait 20 years and will play it again. ”
Nevertheless, he actually played it again after he was in Great Britain in a set in Brighton Beach, Great Britain on July 19.
