An emotional progressive house gem that flew under the radar for most casual fans, Every Day is one of Eric Prydz’s most melodic and underrated releases. Built around a haunting vocal loop and euphoric synths, it shows Prydz’s unmatched ability to blend feeling with dancefloor energy.
When people mention Eric Prydz, the conversation often drifts to his global smash “Call on Me”, or his mind-bending HOLO live shows. But ask any true Prydz fan, and they’ll point you to “Every Day” — a 2012 progressive house anthem that never got the mainstream love it deserved, but remains one of his most emotionally rich and expertly crafted tracks.
The Sample: John Ciafone’s Everyday
Here’s where the deep heads know: “Every Day” samples John Ciafone’s 2001 deep house cut “Everyday”, released on NRK Recordings. Prydz took that obscure but soulful vocal and recontextualized it — not by speeding it up or distorting it, but by layering it with rich, modern production and evolving chords.
Where Ciafone’s original was jazzy and understated, Prydz turned it into something far more cinematic — the kind of track that feels just as at home in a club as it does blasting out of headphones during a late-night drive.
