Eric Prydz Launches "Holosphere" Docuseries About Development of Groundbreaking Production

Swedish dance music icon Eric Prydz is pulling back the curtain on one of the most ambitious live shows in electronic dance music history, chronicling the development of Holosphere 2.0 with the launch of a three-part docuseries.

Premiered earlier this month at Ibiza’s cavernous new superclub [UNVRS], Holosphere 2.0 is a reimagining of Prydz’s iconic spherical production that first debuted in 2019. Towering at a height of eight meters and weight of eight tons, the custom-built structure achieves what the DJ's team calls "a razor-thin balance between engineering-grade strength and near-total transparency."

"This show, the technology, and the size of it has never been done before, ever," Prydz says in the docuseries, the first episode of which released today.

Prydz collaborated with a team of visual artists, including celebrated VFX artist GMUNK, to capture 360° visuals using crystal orbs, plasma balls and burning glass. These high-resolution, holographic loops form standalone "digital sculptures" mapped perfectly onto the spherical structure, creating a subversive show at the bleeding edge of live electronic music production.

The three-part docuseries explores the six-years-long journey behind Holosphere 2.0, a project Prydz says could only be realized now due to technological advancements. "This is what we always dreamed of," he gushed in a statement.

Watch the first episode of the Holosphere docuseries below.
