The Eric Prydz fraud lawsuit has sent shockwaves through the electronic music world as the DJ accuses former business manager Thomas St. John of stealing more than $269,000.

According to the complaint, St. John allegedly paid himself for unapproved work, withheld essential tax documents before a major deadline, and withdrew $50,000 after being told he was being terminated.

Prydz, who worked with St. John since 2012, claims the unauthorized payments totaled over $219,000. Coming months after Calvin Harris filed similar allegations, the case raises serious concerns about management misconduct. Prydz is now seeking repayment, damages, and legal fees.

As AI-generated music floods the industry with automated tools and virtual collaborators, Pelling’s buyback signals a return to human-driven creativity. His renewed leadership suggests a commitment to authenticity at a time when the production landscape is rapidly shifting, reinforcing that real artists and real sounds still matter.

Following the weather-related cancellation of Bonnaroo 2025, his headlining slot feels like a much-needed spark, promising an electric start to the festival’s new chapter.
