Pretty Lights is the musical vision of the ultra-versatile Colorado based producer Derek Vincent Smith, accompanied
in the live setting by drummer, Cory Eberhard. Together these two achieve a raw energy rarely reached in the realm
of electronic music. At a time when music lovers from almost all subcultures and genres are finding common ground
in the basic form of bangin' beats, Pretty Lights is giving the people what they want; electro organic cutting-edge party
rocking beats that fill venues with energy and emotion and send dance floors into frenzies. What makes Pretty Lights
truly different though, is that these beats have serious soul. Derek's latest album, "Filling Up The City Skies" is a two
disc, 26 track journey through past, present, and future. He juxtaposes collages of beautiful vintage samples against
backdrops of futuristic synthesis and dirty broken beats, creating a sound that can snap your neck while
simultaneously shedding your tears. The album has been downloaded over 30,000 times from the Pretty Lights
website in the short 3 months since its release, proving that the PL sound is not only getting around, it's spreading like
a virus.
