photo credit Morrison, CO - Pretty Lights has done it again. Two nights of back-to-back shows at Red Rocks Amphitheatre – completely sold out. (Is it any surprise?) Nearly every show in Colorado has been a full house since the debut of Derek Vincent Smith’s album, Filling Up The City Skies, in 2008, and our [...]
![[TSIS PREMIERE] SuperVision – Sound Science Vol. 1 (Mixtape) : Hour Long Bass Music Mix from Pretty Lights Music Artist](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4385584_lg.jpg)
Here's a new 70+ minute flowful electronic mix featuring some of the freshest bass heavy sounds. It's from the Pretty Lights Music DJ and producer SuperVision , who released Telescopic late last year on PLM . Blake Hensen aka SuperVision the true DJ on the Pretty Lights Music crew who scratches on turntables both live and on his recorded mixes. Well this is the first a of a new mix series from SuperVision called Sound Science Vol. 1 . It's got a mixture of more hard hitting BANGERS but also bouncing to [...]
Supervision will be performing at Yoshi's today along with Break Science and Paul Basic, put on by Euphonic Conceptions . You definitely don't want to miss this show. Awhile ago as I was writing a midterm paper, I pressed shuffle on my iTunes and Arcane by Supervision started blasting on my headphones. I don't know where or when I found this superb track but it made me nearly lose my shit and I put it on repeat for the rest of the night. Since then, I seem to find a new layer in [...]
I was under the impression that everyone knew about PLM's Supervision, but after just searching some of my frequented music blogs I'm taken aback: a mere few have posted this song. Houston's Supervision, a.k.a. Richard Hansen, has established himself as a prominent DJ even amongst the greats, playing alongside such acts as Steve Aoki, RJD2, and Ghostland Observatory. Now residing in Colorado, Supervision enters the prime of his music career with his first album, "Telescopic," which was well-received by audiences and critics when released this past September. The entire album is available for download here , but look below [...]
Wow we haven't done this in a while, mostly because on Saturday I'm busy doing something else. Anyways, the latest Sampled Saturday are songs from November 2011 but next week's Sampled Saturday are going to be new bangers! First we got a Red Hot Chili Peppers sample from Kid Riz. Kid Riz flips RHCP's "Can't Stop", utilizing the banging [...]
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 [...]
A couple new artists to BtB and a few that have been featured on the site multiple times and will get featured many more times with where it seems there music is heading. First we got a newbie on the site, Jay Fresh, who collaborated with the Pretty Lights record label, specifically producer/DJ SuperVision, to [...]
Here at SoundLogik we love those genre shattering sounds that Pretty Lights produces. With Pretty Lights Music record label slowly acquiring more and more talented artists we are excited to feature SuperVision 's first EP called Telescopic. SuperVision has officially hit the scene, bringing with him 10 glitch hop/dub tracks that are filled with plenty of bass and creativity, and now it's only a matter of time before he explodes. You can preview the entire EP below or download it here for free! [...]
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 [...]
Pretty Lights Music is about to launch the first official Pretty Lights Music Tour. Gramatik and Michal Menert with special guest SuperVision are the acts on the bill. The first run of tour dates kicks off at Boston's Paradise Theatre on November 2nd (full details below) with west coast dates promised to be announced shortly. We’ll bring them to you as soon as we have ‘em. We’ve yet to see Gramatik live with his MPC 40 on stage—a conductor’s baton? You might be able to call it that… if said baton [...]
A few days ago I posted up Paul Basic's The Mirror , which was a great release with 10 well done electronic tracks released on Pretty Lights Music. Well now I've got the release from the other new face to the Pretty Lights Music team, SuperVision. He's got that chilled out swag bass filled Pretty Lights Music style almost almost all the artists on the label have. Well SuperVision definitely has a more low key sound, not getting as bass heavy. But he's got a real unique sampling style. I couldn't decide on a single track, so download [...]

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 [...]
Today I'd like to introduce you all to SuperVision, the latest addition to the unstoppable Pretty Lights Music lineup. This single got released the same day as the filthy Paul Basic - Daydreamin' remix . This track 'Arcane' starts off pretty chill and calm with some intriuging acoustic picking. Then the drums softly kick in, just enough to get your head nodding. Some bass strumming comes in, then the whole song starts to get glitched out, then drops, but not to intensely. I love the blend of the chilled out vibes and sublte crunchy bass. Then a sample comes [...]

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 [...]
What do you get when you add blazing electronic synths to the beat of Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Otis" and enlist, genre-merging musician, Jay Fresh to jump on the track? A nasty concoction of Electronic and Hip Hop music that, dare I say, may even be better than the original? You heard that right. Pretty Lights' newest signee, SuperVision , absolutely killed this beat that Jay Fresh ripped to shreds. Definitely keep an eye for both of these up and comers. Download: Jay Fresh - Otis (Prod.

Jay Fresh is an emcee out of Seattle known both for his lyrical ability and his genre fusing music- often using electronic production to separate himself from the competition. Supervision is his partner in crime, as far as this track goes, cookin' up a nasty remix to the "Otis" instrumental. Is it possible for this to be better than the Yeezy's and Hov's? I'd hate to say it but I think I'm feelin the remix a lil bit more, Supervision's instrumental is just as awesome as the original and it brings a new sound that [...]
