Show Notes
Hi kids! Do you know what the word of the day is? Well I'm going to tell you: today's word is "shamelessly". As in: I will be shamelessly reposting someone else's podcast episode today. But not just anyone! The maestro of dark, driving progressive house himself: Eric Prydz.
After an 8+ year hiatus, Eric has suddenly resurrected his podcast, EPIC Radio. I have fond memories of being in coworking spaces in Asia, pecking away on my laptop, listening to his radio show. Much more so than other producers, Eric would fill his show with deep cuts, unreleased tracks, and works in progress. It was always a fun and interesting listen, so I was disappointed when the podcast quietly stopped getting updates. But the man has clearly gotten a second wind and it sounds like he'll be posting new shows regularly this year.
Normally I wouldn't blindly repost another show's episode, but this feels like a momentous occasion worth celebrating and highlighting. I encourage all of you to subscribe to his show! Based on his commentary, it sounds like he'll be releasing a lot of new music this year too.
In true Eric Prydz fashion, literally every song in this episode is unreleased and/or unnamed. I present to you the most worthless tracklist ever:

More from Just The Music Please
Well, Group Therapy 700 (two weekends ago) was definitely one for the record books! In the midst of weeks of beautiful September weather, the skies decided to open up at 8:30 pm on Saturday night, unleashing enough rain and fierce winds to pause the show. The lower bowl at The Gorge had to be evacuated, the entire show was paused, and we lost at least 2 1/2 hours of music from Oliver Smith, J Ribbon, and Ilan Bluestone.
In honor of Group Therapy 700 happening next weekend — we'll be there! — I'd like to post a deep cut from the archives this week. The first Group Therapy show I ever went to was 300 (in Hong Kong) and Grum was one of the artists on the lineup I was really looking forward to. He's one of my favorite progressive producers and his set that night was right on the money; I can still remember being in the center front of the crowd and feeling the bass reverberate through my chest while he took all of us on a 1-hour voyage into space.
This week we're heading to a rock quarry in northern Portugal for two hours of big room melodic house from Arodes, a Spanish DJ and producer who's mostly new to me, but has been on the rise recently. In the last few years, he's played Tomorrowland, Coachella, Burning Man, and ADE, on top of residencies in Mykonos and Ibiza.
As promised at the end of my last episode, the Kyky's did indeed have a blast in Ibiza and Albania last month, and JTMP was indeed on a hiatus, though for much longer than I would like. Appropriately though, we're back with music from one of the highlights of our trip: Claptone at Chinois!
LP Giobbi has been making a name for herself more and more in recent years, from jazz-influenced dance music to her remixes and after parties for The Grateful Dead (yes, for real!) to her own brand of fun piano house music. She is a classically trained jazz pianist and studied classical piano at UC Berkeley, and this musicality is very evident in her music.
