Do Colorado, Estados Unidos, vem o produtor Derek Vincent Smith, de nome artístico Pretty Lights. Acabou de lançar o seu terceiro álbum de originais, Passing by behind your eyes, que à semelhança dos anteriores, vem carregado de boas batidas downtempo, hip-hop com elementos electro. Vozes só aparecem sampladas e os instrumentos são os mais diversos e também eles samplados. Guitarras pianos e sintetizadores são os mais presentes. Toda a sua discografia pode ser descarregada gratuitamente aqui, e toda ela altamente recomendada aqui pelo sítio. Do myspace, ficam as seguintes linhas:"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 tho, 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."
