Pretty Lights


Pretty Lights (Derek Vincent Smith) had yet another year steeped in a retro-future landscape. A recording session at Rick Rubin’s acclaimed Shangri La Studios early in 2014 dovetailed Pretty Lights into a full summer hitting the festival circuit in the UK and Europe, with stops at many major festivals including Sonar (Barcelona), Glastonbury (UK), Exit Festival (Serbia), Melt! Festival (Germany), and Tomorrowland (Netherlands). In addition to the festival shows, the GRAMMY-nominated artist also headlined shows in Paris and Ibiza. Derek Vincent Smith, a Colorado native, also celebrated his 5th season selling out two nights at Red Rocks, this time in under twelve hours. He performed an unprecedented 6 sets over the course of the 2 nights, with not a single repeat: 2 solo sets, 2 sets with the Analog Future Band, and 2 sensationally captivating sets featuring members of the Colorado Symphony. The Third Annual Basslights event featuring both Pretty Lights and Bassnectar, blasted off at Hampton Coliseum after Christmas, followed by ringing in 2015 headlining the beautiful Sea of Dreams event for New Year’s Eve in San Francisco. A heavy focus on sifting through the gold captured at Shangri La, as well as a few other recording sessions from the year, coupled with a handful of special appearances in 2015, will make our recap next year at this time worth the wait.
