It's quite hard to go wrong with a Pretty Lights track, particularly when it's available for free download. "We Must Go On" is the first release of the year for the Colorado-based trip-hop artist Derek Vincent Smith. The song provides all the element...

Another new track off Pretty Lights' upcoming remix EP, this time featuring Led Zeppelin. Actually...this time featuring samples of a whopping seven Led Zeppelin tracks collaged together. That's a lot of mashing, if you ask me, but who better equippe...

You might find yourself thinking this song is redundant. I know I did. That is, until Pretty Lights dropped some serious bass moves shortly after minute 2. Womp, womp, wobble, bitches!This is the second track we've featured off the upcoming Pretty Li...

I was all set to post a mash-up of Phoenix, Lil' Wayne and Pretty Lights, until I stumbled upon this track, "Finally Moving." You might say it moved me, because I've opted for a smoother, trip-hoppier Song of the Day. That's right: I'm not going to p...

When I saw Pretty Lights play at Outside Lands, I was surprised at how similar he sounded to Emancipator. I literally shouted to Indie Shuffle's Taylor Fife that "This is just like Emancipator, but funkier!" Then this morning, I bumped into the song ...

The problem with Outside Lands this year was that I couldn't decide which artists I was supposed to be excited for. Virtually all the acts have hit the festival circuit hard this year, or were no-brainer local picks. The biggest headliners didn't piq...
