Eric Prydz - Call On Me

Despite unabashed repetition and a shameless music video, this track is still a catchy dance tune that’s a good warm up before the night moves on to bigger and harder beats. The original mix, credited to Prydz and Retarded Funk, is my highlight on this single because it has the best kick and that is what makes this track, especially with all the build up. The J.J. remix puts more emphasis on being uplifting as opposed to hammering the dance floor; a good listen. The Filterheadz remix sounds like a bootleg of their track Yimanya and Call On Me because it has the same bass and percussion. I’d rather just listen to Yimanya. The final mix on the disc is a darker house mix by Red Kult. It’s the least like the original, but is an interesting listen in comparison to the original mix in that it is just that different. The vocal cuts in this remix are the catchy part. Being a dance music junkie, I’m happy with this release.

"Call On Me" was first produced by Thomas Bangalter & DJ Falcon on the Roulé label. It is not known how this project came into the hands of Eric Prydz. There are many speculations at the moment.
When Steve Winwood heard the bootleg of this track, he thought it was so good, he not only gave the permission to use the samples of his track "Valerie", but he also re-recorded some of his vocals.
I personally like the track, even if very repetitive. However, I think the video is nothing else than a sexual ride to sell the record. The avalanche of clichés is sad. I think dance music should be over that.
