Cirez D is his alias for when releasing more monotone songs. Prydz is a member of the well known and worldwide dominating Swedish House Mafia with Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Axwell. The track "Teaser" was produced as a joke for some friends for a dj gig in Stockholm. The point of the joke was to show how uninteresting the progressive genre is.
