Pretty Lights
Thanks to Uno De Waal I found my new favourite artist. Pretty Lights. Pretty Lights make Pretty Music and that’s a fact.
Colorado based producer Derek Vincent Smith’s music is light and ethereal yet at other times has a harder more electro and hip hop sound…
The band is made up of Derek, who is accompanied live by drummer, Cory Eberhard. The two have been said to “achieve a raw energy rarely reached in the realm of electronic music…giving the people what they want; electro organic cutting-edge party rocking beats that fill venues with energy and emotion, and send dance floors into frenzies.”
Derek’s latest album, “Filling Up The City Skies” is a two disc, 26 track journey where he “juxtaposes collages of beautiful vintage samples against backdrops of futuristic synthesis and dirty broken beats, creating a sound that can snap your neck while simultaneously shedding your tears.”
You can download the first PL full album Taking Up Your Precious Time for free. The album has been downloaded over 30,000 times from the Pretty Lights website in the short 3 months since its release…It’s been called “a collection of new school production tracks for the modern beat junkie. It’s electro, organic, soulful, dubby, glitchy, bangin, and everything a downtempo hiphop electronica album should be…” and that it is.
Download it here. Do it.

yours in musical madness
