Eric Prydz dropped a bootleg of Prodigy’s ‘Breathe’ last Sunday at Eden superclub in Ibiza, during Pete Tong’s new Wonderland weekly.

Does revisiting it pay respect to the original or is it tantamount to sonic vandalism?

You decide, by watching the video after the jump.

If anyone has a right to experiment with old classics inside a dance music mold, it’s Eric Prydz.


Prydz’s ‘Proper Education’ remix of ‘Another Brick in the Wall’ is the first time Pink Floyd have given permission for another artist to use a sample from one of their songs.


Pink Floyd have sold over 200,000,000 albums worldwide and Prydz’s retouch has been nominated for the 2008 Grammy for Best Remixed Recording.

In many circumstances, remixers will sample a classic track and then dump the results into an intro connected to a completely alien, non-related production.


This doesn’t seem to be the case with either the ‘Breathe’ or ‘Proper Education’ remixes, which are both receiving big reactions across dancefloors worldwide.


By playing them in his sets, Prydz is giving “proper education” to a new generation of music producers about the songs that served as inspiration for the dance music scene.


Do you think The Prodigy like the ‘Breathe’ bootleg?
