FREE MUSIC: Check out pretty lights @ Rothbury Reminder - 2 Day Tickets available



INTRODUCING PRETTY LIGHTS....
AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW, NOW YOU KNOW!!

Pretty Lights is the musical vision of the ultra-versatile Colorado based producer Derek Vincent Smith, accompanied in the live setting by drummer, Cory Eberhard. Together these two achieve a raw energy rarely reached in the realm of electronic music.

At a time when music lovers from almost all subcultures and genres are finding common ground in the basic form of bangin' beats, Pretty Lights is 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. What makes Pretty Lights truly different though, is that these beats have serious soul.


Derek's most recent album, Filling Up The City Skies, is a two-disc, 26 track journey through past, present, and future. 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.
Check out two of the songs below from Filling Up The City Skies.
Filling Up The City Skies is available for

"Hot Like Sauce" MP3
"The Time Has Come" MP3
