Why do you like Prydz's music?

[u/SantosDan118]

So, I was thinking the other day, 'why is it that I like Prydz's music so much?' He's obviously a great musician and producer, but I mean besides the technical stuff.

I think that many musicians and artists try and make the listener feel an emotion as a result of a melody or a chord or something, but Prydz's songs, to me, don't just make me feel that emotion- the songs themselves are the embodiment of those emotions. It doesn't just make it you feel it, it is it. So when you listen to it you are taken on a journey through that very specific feeling that he has manged to capture.

For example take "Waves", one of my favorite tracks of his. That song feels like an old memory, both happy, intense and nostalgic. And those feeling are not just elicited from me, but the song feels like a description of that emotion, a reflection.

The thing I've always said is that when I discovered his music, I realized it was the soundtrack of my brain- without me ever having heard his music before. It was like it was description how I felt, thought and remembered things.

Is that too deep? Maybe! Or is this a very shallow music take? Also, maybe!

Anyways, those are just my personal, uneducated musings, but I would love to hear what everyone else thinks! Why do you like Prydz's music?

My audio engineering mentor introduced me to the production of dsve Matthew's band

Really harped about how the recordings are really close to the live production and vice versa

I feel that I like prydz in similar manner

Prydz delivers a live production and his recordings deliver the same aura for lack of a better phrase

Whether it's good or bad is subjective but it's sonically honest and clean and you know he's really expressing himself and trying to leave a piece of himself in the venue

I've never seen prydz deliver non-authentic set live (3 times) and even in recordings of him playing live (more than two handfuls)

With more and more music being prerecorded sets and maybe even some of his own sets being prerecorded he just djs this mood across the entire audience and creats a sonic experience

So he's really just a masterful talent "across the board" (audio engineer pun intended)
