He’s already working on brand new visuals and lighting for a show that will feature tracks that are now part of electronic music history. Melodic, progressive, and epic: we’re getting Eric Prydz in his purest form at this year’s edition of Sónar by Night.&nbsp;</span></span></p>

Yet dig a little deeper and you’ll hear uncanny similarities: both artists are sonic world-builders with a meticulous attention to detail, and a shared appreciation for transposing classical forms into electronic music. Sónar 2025 will be the perfect stage for a collaboration that few might have dreamed up, but which also makes perfect sense.</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">&nbsp;</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#222222;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><i><span style="font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">‘Concrète Waves’ is a co-commission by Sónar and&nbsp;</span></i></span><a style="text-decoration:none;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.barbican.org.uk/"><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#1155cc;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><i><span style="-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"><u>The Barbican</u></span></i></span></a><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#222222;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><i><span style="font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">, London.&nbsp;</span></i></span><a style="text-decoration:none;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.barbican.org.uk/sign-up"><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#1155cc;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><i><span style="-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"><u>Sign up here</u></span></i></span></a><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#222222;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><i><span style="font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> to The Barbican newsletter to be informed about forthcoming announcements.&nbsp;</span></i></span></p>

Although now based in London, his story starts with his humble beginnings in Edinburgh, where aged nine he learned to play the piano, on an instrument his grandfather rescued from a local charity shop. Obsessive by nature, his entire youth revolved around his passion for playing and collecting music, especially jazz, and it was only when he headed to university that he stumbled into electronic music. The rest, as they say,&nbsp; is history. In 2025, he debuts at Sónar with a DJ set that looks set to confirm his status as a global phenomenon.</span></span></p>
