Last year, two producers managed to grab the attention of dance music’s revered artist – Eric Prydz. This month, they are in playing in India for the very first time! sLick! is bringing down the two producers from Pryda Friends – Jeremy Olander and Fehrplay. The Sherp helps you get to know them better.

 

JEREMY OLANDER

1. He is the only DJ, till date, to be officially endorsed by Eric Prydz.

2. His mother is of Indian heritage, which is why he sometimes produces music under the name β€˜Dhillon’.

3. Prior to becoming a part of the Pryda empire, Jeremy had releases on JOOF Records, Spinnin’ Records and Phazing.

4. He saw Eric Prydz for the first time at a club called Grodan(The Frog) Cocktail Club.

5. He admits that he prefers remixing tracks that aren’t originally house music, because it’s a good challenge.

6. He is predicted to become the next big thing from Sweden.

7. He was requested by German duo Digitalism to remix their track β€˜Circles’ and Toronto-based Glenn Morrison for his track β€˜Mine & Yours’.

8. When he started out, he was listening to commercial music. He despised house music in the beginning and thought it sounded silly.

9. His love for dance music started when he heard some old Benny Bennasi on the radio.

10. Instead of branding himself with a single sound, Jeremy says he would rather float around all genres and build into a bigger picture.
