A New Track Off the Upcoming EP, Making Up A Changing Mind
 Pretty Lights |
Mark your calendars. On March 2, June 15, and October 12, Colorado-based producer Pretty Lights, a.k.a. Derek Vincent Smith, is set to release a trilogy of EPs. Now here's the fun part: in an effort to get his music directly to his fans as soon as it's written, Derek will record the EPs only a few weeks before each release. It's a pretty gutsy move to set release dates without finished material, but for Derek, who’' been recording albums and immediately releasing them for free on the internet since 2006, setting deadlines like this isn't a big deal.
Pretty Lights' last three albums, Taking Up Your Precious Time, Filling Up The City Skies, and Passing By Behind Your Eyes have been downloaded over 500,000 times from PrettyLightsMusic.com. These tracks juxtapose beautiful vintage samples against backdrops of futuristic synthesis and dirty broken beats. And as Pretty Lights looks ahead to his next three projects, his music could take him anywhere. The future is yet to be written for Pretty Lights.
Since he started touring in 2008, Pretty Lights' mix of electro beats, vintage samples, and DJ Shadow-esque throwbacks have earned a dedicated following across the country. With an ambitious live setup that includes the addition of Cory Eberhard on drums and stunning visuals, Pretty Lights' performances have become the stuff of legend. One year later, Pretty Lights sold out 65 venues across the country with many fans begging for extra tickets at the door. This spring, Derek will crisscross the country again, hitting up SXSW, Ultra Music Festival, and Coachella in the process. Already selling out dates, he'll also be stopping in on 20 cities he's yet to perform in, as a part of his never-ending quest to spread his music across the globe.
