It definitely has the potential to be the [...]

Derek Vincent Smith ( Pretty Lights ) wanted to make something special for New Years Eve. It was his first time headlining a NYE show and he wanted to go into 2010 with a bang. He did this by creating two midnight mixes. The first was based on "The Final Countdown;" the Europe song that has achieved new levels of fame thanks to Arrested Development. This would take his audience out of the double 00's and into the new decade. The second was made for when they got there and this is the one I want to share with you [...]

Pretty Lights played the Vic Theatre in Chicago on NYE and apparently debuted two "new" tracks for the countdown to midnight. Regarding the 2 new tracks, Pretty Lights said: "I worked on two tracks that I thought would make the moments up to and after midnight extra dope. The tracks are a sort of remix/mashup of older songs that touch on the theme of midnight combined with lots of original PL styles & sounds laced into, under, and on top of the original classics. The first track is [...]

A week ago today, I was just waking up on the MSC Poesia about to enjoy the final day of Jam Cruise 8 . Over the course of the trip's five days, I caught one outstanding musical performance after another. For this week's B List I've put together my thoughts on my ten favorite sets of Jam Cruise 8. Now, as a disclaimer, I didn't see every set so I can only comment on what I saw. I've heard wonderful things about the Sexual Chocolate set and the STS9 theater set, [...]
