As 2026 unfolds, it’s undeniably becoming a banner year for Prydaholics across the globe! Following the electrifying return of his celebrated EPIC Radio after a six-year hiatus this March, the Swedish dance music maestro Eric Prydz has announced yet another thrilling leap in his illustrious career. Introducing a new label, Prydz aims to showcase a more vibrant dimension of his sound that has seemingly been on the back burner for too long. This move not only enriches his extensive legacy but may also fill a crucial void in the progressive house legend’s already impressive repertoire.
Pryda Recordings & Mouseville
Eric Prydz has long been recognized for his diverse sonic palette, primarily housed under his own labels. The deep, melodically rich progressive house tracks bearing the iconic Pryda twist find their home on Pryda Recordings, while his techno stylings emerge through another label, Mouseville, showcasing his Cirez D alias. Historically, however, the vibrant tracks under the Eric Prydz name have often been released through external labels. His last release, NOPUS, was let loose under the Ministry of Sound, and even the sole Eric Prydz album, OPUS, was a creation under Virgin Records. This reliance on outside entities has sparked a desire among fans for a dedicated space for Prydz’s unique sound.
Lycka Recordings
During a recent episode of EPIC Radio, Prydz announced the launch of his very own label: Lycka Recordings. The name ‘Lycka,’ which translates to ‘happiness’ in Swedish, symbolizes his intention to regain creative control over his Eric Prydz releases. With no new Eric Prydz music since his 2020 hit ‘NOPUS,’ fans are buzzing with excitement about imminent releases. The highly anticipated vocal track that opened Ultra 2026 might just be the first glimpse of what’s to come from Lycka. For Prydaholics, this announcement signifies not just resilience but a fresh beginning after a dry period in terms of new music.
Swedish House Mafia To Be Continued
If that’s not enough to excite fans, Prydz also touched upon a thrilling reunion with Swedish House Mafia during the same EPIC Radio episode. As a founding member of the iconic group, Prydz expressed the joy of rekindling relationships with his fellow artists. His cryptic comment towards the end of the discussion—“to be continued”—leaves the door open for numerous possibilities. Could this hint at a forthcoming collaboration, possibly revamping classics like the long-awaited ‘Bedtime Stories’? Or maybe fan-favorite back-to-back sets? The potential for collaboration raises the anticipation to a fever pitch.
And the only thing I have to say is: to be continued – Eric Prydz
With so many thrilling developments, 2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year for fans eagerly awaiting new material from Eric Prydz. The combination of a fresh label, potent collaborations, and the unparalleled excitement surrounding his productions paints a vibrant picture of what lies ahead for the Prydaholic community.
