We could have chosen any of the big-name electronic DJ/producers playing New Year’s Eve to profile, but in our minds there was only one name. Well, one very talented Swede who goes by many names. In a rare interview, Eric Prydz (a.k.a. Pryda and Cirez D, among others) gives Vegas Seven an exclusive look into his world and dishes about his move to L.A., his Epic Radio podcast, and if he’ll be singing live anytime soon. Prydz, who just received his second Grammy nomination, promises to challenge the norm Dec. 31 at Surrender with a three hour-minimum set. Read more »

Las Vegas loves throwing parties to commemorate future parties, such as halfway to Halloween or Christmas in July. Tao Group and Insomniac Events are marking another midpoint milestone with Halfway to Electric Daisy Carnival parties all weekend.

Before his fight against Juan Manuel Marquez on Dec. 8 at MGM Grand Garden Arena, Manny Pacquiao reportedly met with a recently unemployed gentleman who told him, “Hi, Manny. I’m Mitt Romney.
