![[Show Review] Supervision, Paul Basic and Break Science at Yoshi's](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4284150_lg.jpg)
It's not everyday that I get to witness a show at Yoshi's, the prestigious jazz club in the Fillmore of San Francisco. Consequently, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't suspicious about how the all ages crowd would react to an electronic show with massive amounts of bass. Luckily, the event wasn't in the illustrious club area (only accesible via the spiral staircase), but rather in the restaurant. Let me put it in perspective for those of you who don't know Yoshi's. When you walk in, you're immediately welcomed by a semi-optimistic bouncer checking IDs and giving out wristbands [...]

While school's been keeping me busy, I'm just now catching up on the site and I've got some long overdue photos to get up! YEAH! A week before Thanksgiving Michal Menert and Gramatik stopped in Boulder accompanied by Pretty Lights Music's newest additions Paul Basic and SuperVision. They brought with them a nasty LED light [...]
Gramatik is at it again, blending tracks and genres like it's nobody's business. Is this funk? Is it dubstep? Is it hip hop? We may never figure out the answer, but that's okay, because genre doesn't really matter when you're Gramatik. If you're curious about Gramatik's background, check out my interview with him from about a month ago . Download: Gramatik Vs. Gossip - Dimestore Diamond (Remix) Gramatik is also setting off soon on a Pretty Lights Music label tour, co-headlining with Michael Menert and supported by [...]
Earlier this week, the 27th, two huge albums were dropped by Pretty Lights Music; Supervision's Telescopic, and Paul Basic's The Mirror. When I first heard "Lost in Bass" off of Telescopic, it immediately reminded me of the classic Pretty Lights sound that Derek laid down for us five years ago. While The Mirror brings a [...]
This mixtape features the best music I've discovered all week. Or at least according to my shitty taste in music.

![[Electro/Hip Hop] Paul Basic – The Mirror](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3753533_lg.jpg)
A few weeks ago we posted a single by Colorado Producer Paul Basic . Ever since we heard that track, we've been waiting for the rest of the EP to drop. Well yesterday was that day, and The Mirror is officially here for us to enjoy. If you didn't already know, Paul is signed to Pretty Light's label, Pretty Lights Music . When you listen through his tracks, you can definitely get a feel of his influences. A lot of his tracks are rooted heavily in really old time, classic samples. This [...]
Today I've got the newest Pretty Lights Music label release. We posted the first single off it, a real crunchy bass filled Dream On remix . Well now the entire 8 song release is just as good. It's got some chiller tracks, then some more bass filled ones like. This is an album, not a mixtape. This could be sold, but is given away for free. These are the type of releases why I created the site. This artist, as well as the Pretty Lights Music label understands the potential of giving away free music. Watch Paul Basic blow [...]
Pretty Lights has become a household name over the past couple years, but Derek Smith might be sharing that spotlight after these two new releases from Pretty Lights Music . On September 27th 2011, Paul Basic and SuperVision delivered new EP's that are definitely worth checking out. If you fancy Pretty Lights' soul-plated, electronic hip-hop jams, then you will not be disappointed by The Mirror EP and Telescopic EP. You can listen through all their new tracks via soundcloud, but I threw a few on for you patrons out there. Support good music here and show [...]
Derek Vincent Smith, AKA Pretty lights , has been up to a lot more than just creating his own tunes recently. In the past 3 months, Derek's record label Pretty Lights Music (PLM) has added 3 excellent artists to it's roster on top of it's previous additions Paper Diamond and Michael Menert . Last night, Supervision and Paul Basic's first releases on PLM went live and, as usual, only cost what you are willing to donate. For fans of the sample based, beat-driven style that Pretty Lights himself is known [...]
Tweet This post is a "QuickPick". QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it's so awesome!), out into the dubya dots, picked quickly. Less for you to read, more for you to hear. Artist: Vico Ono [...]
Never heard of Paul Basic but he created an electro hip-hop remix to Lupe Fiasco's "Daydream" which reminds me of a Pretty Lights remix. Take a listen and let us know what you think. Paul Basic - Daydream
Hey there bugz, Its Labor Day Weekend so I hope you all are enjoying the extra day off like I am. I got a lovely foursome of songs here to blast at whatever day party you are throwing or attending. Leading off, Ludacris returns to the scene with a classic style jam featuring Wacka Flocka titled "Rich and Flexin". Its got a sick beat, and topped off with Luda's flow, makes it a real summer sizzler. Switching things up, Robotic Pirate Monkey turns on the swag with his track "Rio De Fuego". Its got a real funky sound that makes [...]
Paul Basic is the newest member of Pretty Lights' label and is currently prepping his upcoming album The Mirror . "Daydream" is the first single from the album and continues Pretty Lights' brand of music with their signature Electro infused Hip Hop sound. "Daydream" samples I, Monster's "Daydream in Blue" , which was sampled by Lupe Fiasco in his song "Daydreamin'" not too long ago. [Audio Clip: View Full Post To Listen] Download: Paul Basic - Daydream
Pretty Lights Music seems to be on a non-stop acquisition of sophisticated beat heavy artists. The newest additions to their arsenal are Paul Basic (Paul Brant) and Supervision (Richard Blake). As excepted, the two fit in like a key to the style and ambiance set previously by older additions to the growing label. Here are two tracks, one from each, that will give you a little taste of what they have to offer and how they will add their own niche to the Pretty Lights brand. Each of them will be releasing an album on PLM [...]
Today I'd like to introduce to you the newest member of the Pretty Lights Music label team, Paul Basic. This first single 'Daydream' off his upcoming album The Mirror samples a part from Lupe Fiasco's 'Daydreamin'. He does an amazing job taking the original song and completely reworking it, giving it a new crunchy electronic sound and pumping it full of bass. The small amount of the sample used so well throughout the track sounds spot on. It's got an even filthier second drop. Turn up the bass, enjoy the new PLM artist! Paul Basic - Daydream [...]

Once again we find ourselves listening to, and posting another Denver producer. Paul Basic , a Colorado native, was recently picked up by Pretty Lights Music has been working on developing his own brand of music. He has a electro infused hip hop feel, that does echo Pretty Lights a little bit, but only in the most complimentary way. The track below is a free download off his upcoming EP, The Mirror, which is due out this fall. Daydream has classic sounding samples that give it an authentic hip hop sound. Add in a dirty [...]
