@@jamestyler8104 gonna wait to see how this whole resale thing plays out, waited first in line for all three sales and all the Tix were scalped 😤 aiming for the mission but will buy if I need to
Oh my good god !! I just stumbled across these guys by accident tonight ... They're amazing !! It's gone 2 am ... I can't sleep now ... I've got work tomorrow ... And I just don't care !! :-)) I can't stop listening ..... Awesome
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!
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.
This is word for word how I listen to music! I was also raised on classic rock, but if a song sounds good then I'm going to listen to it haha. Glad to know there are other people with my same philosophy!
This is awesome and for those who is asked the songs used were After Midnight by JJ Cale and Midnight Rider by the Allman Brothers or maybe by greg allman band. The PL website has a music download for this and the final countdown. Great stuff!!!
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.
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
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
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
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.
hi. just checked this song out. very good. nice flow. little beat mixes. straight through i think pretty lights produced a quality track. that could also be because I'm trip pin major balls. strongest acid in the midwest. still gotta hand it to them.
He mashes all your memories into a track(s). This is why he is good. He's that guy with every piece of vinyl living in a basement except he's fucking PL and comes to your ville and kicks your sonic-ass.
I'm dead serious. I never really got into pretty lights at first til I heard finally moving, hot like sauce and then this track. I'll be blaring this track tonight 😁
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
this is amazing. I dont give a fuck for all those people saying this is dubstep, this is trip whatever. they're arguing what colour the plane is. i love this
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!
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.
