I was wondering if I could get some tips about making eric prydz style songs. Theres something about all of his songs that are just so "groovy" and progressive, and was wondering if someone could help me out with this, and maybe give me some good tips/tutorials on how to make some good leads for this

have you tried analyzing the song structure? open it in your sequencer, slice it into sections according to changes in the track and name slices with important events ("hihat added", "filter on sum", "new section")

What Prydz productions are you referring to?
IMO His Pryda stuff is the definition of progressive house.

Listen to his Essential mix and the Retrospective mix.
Pryda is all about the build. He uses sixteen bar phrases; an example would be he introduces a basic beat, bring in a pad or a bassline, add a bigger snare to the strong beats, then a syncopated open hat, etc.

Obviously all the tracks are different in structure and content but it's all about the groove and build.
Leads are usually found in the basslines or repeated riffs like arpeggios and whatnot.

He uses a lot of stock Logic plugs and the KORG legacy collection.
