Eric Prydz Enters a New Era with Mark Gillespie / Three Six Zero As Management
Eric Prydz has officially aligned with Mark Gillespie and the powerhouse management firm Three Six Zero. The confirmed move places the famously elusive Swedish producer under the umbrella of one of the most influential management companies in the global entertainment industry, signalling a major shift in his behind the scenes operations.
Mark Gillespie has built Three Six Zero into a colossal cross industry empire. The firm is renowned for handling monumental deals and managing global titans. Most notably, Gillespie manages Calvin Harris and brokered the nine-figure sale of his publishing catalogue, proving his ability to secure top tier financial windfalls for his artists. His reach extends far beyond the dance music realm. Over recent years, Three Six Zero has aggressively expanded into Hollywood. By acquiring Westbrook Entertainment, the company brought A-list names like Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith into the fold. Gillespie has also quietly become a formidable force in film production, serving as an executive producer on acclaimed features like Vox Lux and The Brutalist.
Outside of industry discussions, Prydz confirmed the news, commenting on Gillespie’s Instagram Birthday post with “Oh wow. Didn’t know. Happy birthday! My new MANAGER!! ❤️ I’ll do better next year.”
This transition naturally prompts questions about the status of Michael Sershall, Prydz’s long standing manager at Sershall Management. Sershall has been an integral part of the Prydz camp for years, helping navigate the immense logistical complexities of groundbreaking live concepts like HOLO and EPIC. It is entirely possible that Sershall is still deeply involved in the project. Three Six Zero has a well documented history of acquiring or partnering with existing management companies to integrate them into their wider ecosystem. Whether Sershall has quietly folded his efforts into the Three Six Zero machine or if Prydz has made a clean break is currently unknown.
The broader implications of this move are significant, particularly for fans hungry for new releases. Prydz recently relaunched his legendary EPIC Radio show after a lengthy hiatus and has been openly teasing that a wave of new music is coming soon. Aligning with a juggernaut like Three Six Zero could mean scaling his already colossal live shows to even larger, untapped international markets, but it also suggests his highly anticipated new material might arrive even sooner with a streamlined, global machine behind him. Pairing one of electronic music’s most revered minds with an executive known for global empire building suggests the next chapter for Eric Prydz will be his most ambitious yet.
