Back in 2013, Swedish DJ/producer Eric Prydz included a track in his BBC Radio 1 “Essential Mix” by Cory Lasser, a relatively unknown producer at the time. The obscure selection immediately sparked curiosity in the blogosphere, as fans wanted to know who Lasser was and how Prydz discovered him. It turned out that Lasser submitted an original to Prydz just weeks before the mix aired.
On January 3, Prydz and fellow Swede Jeremy Olander will deliver the first “Essential Mix” of 2015. Once again, producers will have a chance to be included in the mix, as Prydz announced yesterday that he’s now taking submissions of original tracks:
Me and @jeremyolander are doing the first @essentialmix of 2015! looking for original music! please send DL link to olanderprydz@gmail.com
