SLOW BURN is a meditation on culling our desire and need
for extraneous possessions, burning down those things
that are not pure of heart, and warming the soul in the
embers left behind. Through loss and renewal, we may
realize that the fear of our possessions no longer being
within grasp is often larger than the fear of not having
them at all.

“Things burn down and then you watch the flowers grow
back out of the cracks,” Michal reflected in an interview
with BandWagon. “It’s about watching things burn, but
realizing that they’re just things,” he said. “And realizing
that the pain of losing them actually creates space.”

Someday Is Today is the latest installment of Derlee’s signature sample-based style. A nostalgic, yet forward-thinking celebration of familiarity amid unfamiliar times. This EP carries 6 new tracks, but much more just under the surface. The soundtrack to many days, months (years). The mundane, yet also the memorable. This time will remain unfinished, imperfect, but always complete. Someday Is Today serves as our gentle reminder.

Listen to the EP now on all music streaming platforms.

To celebrate the new season of the Episodic Festival series, premiering next week on August 4th and 5th at The Gorge Amphitheater in George, WA, Pretty Lights has released a collection of rare, and unreleased tunes into the hands of fans in the form of USB 2.0. As the “Pretty Lights Movement” project continues to evolve, the idea of getting old and rare tunes to the fans as a way to progressively collaborate, bring the entire community together, share art in a different format, and move these rare pieces of sound forward to the social media platform also continues to evolve.

The Pretty Lights team has big things in store for this years Episodic Festival Series and the rest of 2017, along with the growing #PLMovement project… The expansion of this idea, the ongoing collaboration within the PLF community, and the sharing of art from all the different artists involved in new progressive ways, are things to look forward to from the PL team and the family in the near future… Stay Tuned!

Biography

A path can be interpreted as a road, sidewalk, any physical thing that carries us in our direction. Or it can be something internal, like the electrical pathways in our mind that form thought, emotion, and embody the inner workings of human sense and experience. motifv is a young artist from Colorado driven by an inner call to sonically express and share his path to the world.

Known to friends and family as Joseph Kechter, motifv creates beautifully blunted beats that meander between futuristic synthesis and collages of gospel soul. He chases light anywhere that it may lead and leaves refreshing vibrations in his wake. In an effort to ask questions that inspire and have answers that resonate in resolve, motifv looks to the sun moon and stars for guidance.

Download A Color Map of the Sun, including 3 bonus tracks and the companion album Live Studio Sessions from A Color Map of the Sun, at prettylightsmusic.com

This is the first time I am releasing an album as a physical product at the same time as a digital version. The second disc of the double CD set contains 13 additional tracks straight off the vinyl acetates that I composed and created in order to make legit sounding samples for A Color Map of The Sun.

Like always, the album is available in its entirety as a free download via prettylightsmusic.com. For the first time however, I encourage you to purchase a copy of the album. There are two honest reasons for this. The main reason is that as an artist I have always reinvested any success I have directly back into the music, the show and the art that goes along with it. Secondly, this isn't just an album; it is a massive collection of music beyond what is on the CDs that I will continue to put out after the album release. There is an insightful documentary film on the making of this project to be released alongside the launch of the album, as well as a music video for every song. They are all beautiful and uniquely unusual pieces of art.

This "album" is a multi-medium map of my mind and my self. It is personal and honest and I put everything into it. I have stayed on the path of being a completely independent musician and with the help of every supporter and friend, we have transformed a simple idea into a movement, a cultural beacon of light. If you can, I encourage you to purchase a digital or physical copy of A Color Map of the Sun. If not simply support by sharing the music and sharing the idea. If there is any success to be had from this album, it will go back into my rule bending, never ending quest to channel beauty and taste through music and art.

Either way, I made this music for everyone. Support this release and let's show the world how we do. The time is now. - Derek Vincent Smith

Sweet Long Life (Bonus Track)

Pioneers of Colorado’s electronic music explosion, Break Science soars ahead of the curve, with a decade-plus trendsetting the game. Steeped in filial traditions of East Coast hip hop, and futuristic soundwaves of the now, the Denver-based duo continues to scale creative mountains. Comprised of keyboardist/producer/jazz pianist Borahm Lee (Pretty Lights Live Band) and funk/hip-hop drummer extraordinaire Adam Deitch (Lettuce), Break Science traces roots to the embryonic seeds that flowered the electro-soul movement. The pair have consistently ascended the cutting edge of live dance music culture with an array of blistering live performances in any number of settings or configurations.

Borahm Lee’s masterful use of Ableton Live and prowess atop an assortment of analog synths, Fender Rhodes, and digital plug-ins propel Break Science’s towards the new frontier. Lee has worked with cultural icons like Kanye West and The Fugees, he is well versed in reggae/dub vibrations. Adam Deitch keeps it thorough with classic boom-bap, and inventive patterns that employ his rhythmic wizardry, be it electronic drum programming or a traditional trap-kit. Deitch has worked with hip-hop legends like Redman, Pharoahe Monch and members of the Wu-Tang Clan, he’s manned the drum seat for jazz luminaries like John Scofield (Uberjam). Both members of Break Science bring classic hip-hop, dub, drum n’ bass, dancehall, jazz, funk, and genre-defying elements to coalesce in modern electronic soundscapes.

The sum of these parts has evolved Break Science into an amalgam of styles authentic, and an artistic aesthetic wholly their own, heard in the highest of definition on their titanic 2018 full-length LP Grid of Souls. For ever-further explorations in sound, the duo will form like Voltron, combining with several members of Lettuce for the wildly-kinetic Break Science Live Band. Whether the essential dynamic duo or a full-fledged ensemble, they continue to break down the science & move the arena, one gridlocked soul at a time.
