PRETTY LIGHTS!! He mixes it all up so well! Don't he?! THIS GUY ROCKS!!!!!

[@Chicoisdrumming]

As a music lover and a drummer, djing is a talent ! Turn tables, cd controllers etc, are devices used to express one selves just as a guitar, key board etc. I crack up when I'm listening to the original song that some one has sampled and created another tune and some younger person thinks its the latest greatest from whom ever. The best part is “the old people music” has a chance to be heard even in a remix.

[@bb3909]

dude knows good music from back in the day. thats what they call knowing your craft and good music

[@theishlife]

I just discovered Pretty Lights. I don't know how they did it, but they mixed Clapton, Willie Nelson, and The Allman Brothers. I even hear a little Beck in there. I'm impressed!

[@ColoradoStreaming]

You do realize that Pretty Lights just spent two years travelling around the country recording samples which he cut onto actual vinyl and mixed the entire thing with vintage analogue effects with plug ins and will be releasing it on vinyl so it is a perfect representation of the music. Someone from your era should at least appreciate that and the fact I can add it to my vinyl collection to represent the best of my generation's music which I will hand down to my kids someday as my dad did for me.

DAMN J.J. Cale and the Allman Bros never sounded so groovy!

[@EnviralDesign]

Not only can Derek Vincent Smith, the genius BEHIND the Pretty Lights name play multiple real instruments (watch the making of for his newest album, color map of the sun) He knows how to keep the soul the original presented so well, in the modern twist of it. His newest album was created from content he IMPROVED ON THE SPOT with some of the biggest legends in blues and jazz. Which was pressed to vinyl, then remixed digitally the same way everything else he's done previously was. Amazing stuff

[@fleedermouse]

People say ‘he just pushes buttons’ when criticizing electronic music in general. Keyboards are just buttons. So the piano isn’t an instrument? Gimme a f$&@!’n break. Depeche Mode is my favorite band of all time. Alan Wilder and Martin Gore are synth masters. Fuck the haters. #monomeisaninstrument

One of those utterances of the word 'midnight' has to be from DJ Shadow - Midnight in a Perfect World.

Midnight rider! Ha one of my favs although I prefer Willie Nelson singing it. And then later that same sample Shadow used on Midnight in a perfect world, who could have imagined both samples on one track? Foresight....insight....the clock on the wall reads a quarter past midnight

Your kids obviously have bad taste lol, PL is one of the most talented proudcers/DJ's alive right now. Also, it's not dubstep and making Electronic music takes its own set of skills, who cares if they don't play an instrument? It's all music.

[@easybm4445]

Hes played bass since a young age, has been many bands with his friends in highschool, and now some of them have created a record label called PRETTY LIGHTS MUSIC, where each artist release there music.. Derek Vincent Smith uses vinyl samples as well as recording from live musicians, search Re-generation Project, Sampling has been around ever since weve have the technology capable of doing so, Hes not the first to sample but his style is unique and is what gets the credit.

[@kylelarson03]

its pretty cool that he can bring back old music and tweak it in a way that people love it. pretty lights is a musical genius and obviously knows what he is doing in the studio. derek vincent smith does not even consider is music as dubstep, he prefers electro hip-hop. finally to answer your question, he can slap the ol bass guitar and actually uses it in his music. quit disrespecting people's music, if you don't like it don't listen to it

If I were to put pretty lights in a section of edm I would say he's jazz because it's so smooth, got class but has that added pizzazz.

[@coryjarosz7663]

Future funk

[@jared0111]

DVS/PL is clearly very versatile....just as much funk as dubstep, just as much dnb as house, just as much hyphy club beats as lush organic downtempo electronica (remember 'an empty station'?). you're wasting your time arguing about genres -- he often blends them seamlessly, which makes his music especially accessible. if you like it, because of whichever influences, great. that's the point. if you don't, go find some artists you do like! the audio from his chicago NYE 2010 set brought me here!

Hey i'm looking for the version of after midnight that pretty lights uses to make their version of the song. Does anyone have an idea who sings it? I know its originally done by JJ Cale and then redone by eric Clapton which are both great versions but the one used in this pretty light song is played on the radio a lot but i can't seem to find it so again if anyone has an idea can you let me know? Thanks

I play the violin, guitar, and piano. I tried making electronic music, and it just baffled me. I couldn't do anything, it made no sense. Playing an instrument is WAY easier. People who don't respect electronic artists don't deserve a reply imo.

Wanting to dance to it isn't the only good thing. Some music you also want to fuck to! (This is not one of those songs). This song was played out on an After Midnight segment I used to hear all the time. I don't remember if it was on the radio or TV anymore. It's been too long. Pretty Lights did a good job of making it new and reviving it though :)
