This Thursday Pretty Lights drops by The Fillmore to give New York City a dose of the future. Leading the jaunt into beats unknown is Colorado based producer Derek Vincent Smith who brilliantly fuses organic rhythms with robust, soulful samples. Accompanied by live drummer, Cory Eberhard, this ensemble conjures a diverse sound that infects dance floors across the country. Much like Break Science , Pretty Lights integrate improvised synthesis with live syncopated beats which traverse across genres. That being said, we promise a high octane party that [...]
Pretty Lights is broken beats, futuristic synths, hip hop and vintage soul samples brought together. The new album, Passing By Behind Your Eyes , has been downloaded over 60,000 times from PrettyLightsMusic.com since it was released October 6. Tonight Pretty Lights will be at the Cat's Cradle. sound: Sunday School City Of One dates: 11.17.09 – Cat's Cradle – Carrboro, NC [...]
Last night was a testament that you don't have to have a major blog presence to be able to draw a strong crowd. Granted, it wasn't a sold out crowd, but, the floor level was pretty packed most of the night as revelers danced around to the electronic beats provided by Pretty Lights and his touring drummer. Any apprehension I had about a live drummer being a part of the show was gone by the first song. He mixed in seemlessly with Derek Vincent Smith's glitchy melodies and brain-rattling bass. From [...]

Next Tuesday Colorado's own Pretty Lights will hit the stage at Granada Theater with sound/light/video spectacular. If you're a fan of DJ Shadow and have witnessed the spectacular feat that is his live show, then you will love this one as well. It's no secret that we here at BFD are BIG fans of Pretty Lights, so, the Granada has given us 3 pairs of tickets to give away.

Pretty Lights (aka Derek Vincent Smith) dropped a new album earlier this year called Passing By Behind Your Eyes . Like Pretty Lights' other albums, it's a mix of electro, old soul grooves and vintage hip hop cut up into something that can turn a party out just as well as it can resonate in your headphones. Here's a song from it called "Sunday School," featuring a killer sample of Biggie defiantly screaming out, "fuck em, I didn't want to go to heaven anyway." It's a good one, much like the band. If you want the whole album, [...]
We first caught wind of Pretty Lights through our buddy Lance and his Bona Fide gem of a blog. It's no secret they're big fans over there at BFD as the subject of Pretty Lights seems to pop up fairly frequently --and hey we can understand as we dig em too. Really it's hard not to like the soulful spin Colorado-based producer Derek Vincent Smith and his live drummer Cory Eberhard put on their brand of electronica. But you don't just have to take our word for it, you can download the new album for free HERE [...]

Pretty Lights - Cold Feeling Muusika juurde loe tõsist juttu DJ-de raskest elust .
Words and Images : Tim Hara As we exited our cab outside of the Park West in Chicago, we were immediately approached by a fan asking us if we had any extras for the sold out Pretty Lights show. Then another, then another, then another. Dozens of kids braved the miserable cold and rain with their fingers raised high in the air with hopes of scoring a ticket to what seemed like the hottest show in town. Sadly, almost all of them would get shut out. [...]
Guess what? If you were planning on buying tickets to see Pretty Lights at Exit/In tonight, you're S.O.L. The show is sold out, which means you're not going to get the opportunity to see the DJ/producer and live drummer duo that's been packing out venues on this latest tour. That is, UNLESS you win free tickets from me! Just shoot me an email - outtheother at gmail - before 11 a.m. (central!) this morning, with "Pretty Lights" in the subject line, and you'll be entered to win. [...]
Yes, it is a Tuesday. No, you have no better reason to go to Headliners this evening and dance your ass off. Pretty Lights blew many of us at Backseat Sandbar away at Forescastle this summer and the man behind the music Derek Vincent Smith is back for more tonight when Pretty Lights takes the stage at Headliners . National electronic act Dark Party will start things off at 8 pm so you can get some of that lame work energy out. And now for the details: - Show's gonna be 18+, so get your [...]

Why can't Sunday be a day of merriment? Seriously. Why can't we go into work, a bit achy but armed with anecdotes for the chipper people who decided to watch a movie? It was with this frame of logic as my guide that I decided to rechristen Sunday. And while the good boys and girls were at home, keeping their bodies safe from the night, I was at the Crystal Ballroom in the middle of a hot, sweaty dance party. But first, a history lesson. Pretty Lights came into my life through [...]

Lorn says: Some how this was Pretty Lights first LA performance, and what a shame. I wish they would have made it here earlier because they absolutely blew my mind. First off the light display was astonishing and sold me on the show immediately. I would have to say that it is probably the greatest visual display I have ever seen at a club show. On top of that the group was very cordial and interactive with the audience simply there to have a good time. The music its self was all so of the chain (so to speak). [...]

Audio from Metallica's performance at Minneapolis' Target Center, responses to Bob Dylan's new Christmas album & "This is Not For You."
Pretty Lights — the name under which Derek Vincent Smith creates his gnarly electro/hip-hop soundscapes — are not selling a lot of records. The Fort Collins, Colo.-based producer is filling rooms, however — all but a couple of the dozen or so dates on his current tour have been sold out. Pretty Lights' latest album, "Passing Behind Your Eyes," is the third in a row they've made available for free download on their website, and somebody must be clicking. And dancing to the pretty lights. ||| Download: "Sunday" School" or go here [...]
