Michal Menert

This album will be available for free download 12/10 at www.PrettyLightsMusic.com

The Remixes collection is a full-length re-imagination of "A Color Map of the Sun." Derek Vincent Smith – aka Pretty Lights – invited producers from a wide stylistic spectrum to remix the tracks from his latest album. Derek produced "A Color Map of the Sun" with no intention of having it be an album of dance floor bangers, but rather a collection of music that can be enjoyed anyplace, anytime, all the time.

These 'Remixes' are other artists’ interpretations of his compositions and self made vinyl samples. The tracks are mostly intended to be hard hitting, but they are also just very different. See the track list below for all artists involved in the Pretty Lights’ "A Color Map of the Sun Remixes."

Yellow Bird (Michal Menert Remix)

Elements is a tribute to alchemy, the transformation of matter. I always believed that sampling has the potential to transform a dusty, forgotten moment into a vibrant landscape of fantastic impossibilities. Music has an alchemic property, transforming silence into song, nothing into something. I chose Fire, Air, Water, and Earth, the four basic element of alchemy, as seeds for these songs. 
The first, Slivers of Light, represents fire, the sun, and the light given by both. Your Ghost, a song dedicated to the memory of my father Tadeusz Menert, signifies the element of air, and the unseen spirits therein. Eventide's two parts embody the duality of water: Part 1 is the turbulent high tide, water's destructive powers, crashing along the shores into Part 2, which sweeps through the lifegiving and cleansing properties, a low tide of sorts. The album closes with Quiet Earth, a song for my mother, Jolanta, as well as the earth that we chisel away at as a species. This song begins with the noise of humanity, with a lone voice cry out "Do you see, just what you mean to me" until the commotion calms, signifying the end of us, a finality, a quiet earth. 
I hope you enjoy what I consider my favorite work so far, remastered and released as a whole, digitally, for the first time ever.

Your Ghost

A magical collaboration conjured deep in the bowels of Electric Forest is now seeing its first release as perennial producers Manic Focus and Michal Menert present M​anic Menert.​The projects debut single “​Whatever You Want”​is etched with a gritty, glitch­hop foundation that provides a vibeful texture for spacy bass arrangements and warping synth effects to carry the synergetic original. In its purest form, Manic Menert is a labor of love and admiration between two elite connoisseurs of electro­soul who commingle their diverse backgrounds into a harmonious creation with plans to develop further in 2015. As a shared release on Griz’s ‘All Good’ and Michal Menert’s ‘Super Best’ Records, “Whatever You Want” receives an official premiere via ThisSongIsSick.com and is available for free download now!

Low Orbit (ft. SuperVision & Keeplove?)

This fall Michal Menert takes his renowned musical stylings to the next level as he drops the debut studio album from his six-piece live band, Michal Menert and the Pretty Fantastics. The lyrically-driven, electronic/indie LP is out NOW on Super Best Records.

The debut album for the sextet is like nothing you've ever heard from Menert, and will distinguish Michal Menert and the Pretty Fantastics as its own musical force with a uniquely indie-rock style. With beautiful melodic structure, vocals from Michal himself, and playfully inventive lyricism, this LP takes a leap in an exciting new direction while maintaining the uncompromising songwriting and production that we've come to expect.

Don't miss the band on tour accompanied by additional sets from fellow Super Best artists Marcelo Moxy and WillDaBeast, and support from StarRo (Soulection) and Russ Liquid.

All Good Radio, Ep. 07 --> Michal Menert

2/5 of a scrapped sample-free EP composed from 2010 to 2011. Through transferring/breaking laptops, losing files and drives, these flawed mixes have become the only remaining bits of an idea I wish was still alive. Enjoy!

Lost Pieces

“Characteristically smooth and funky with laid-back vocals and mellow horn accents, the tune is by all definitions blissful.” - Live for Live Music

See You Again

All You Get is an affirmation to take life (with a grain of salt) and make it yours. A mantra for a disillusioned world waiting for someone else to save it, a comforting reminder that much of what we prioritize isn't as valuable as love & purpose.

All You Get

This full version of 'From the Sea' begins by reflecting the violent nature of the lost coast’s currents, pulling mountains into the sea. The journey of the song implies life wearing sanity down, until at last you accept the insanity of your present reality. It stays teetering on the edge we all walk, heading back into the tranquility of the roaring waves that spawned us.

New Album 11.16.18!
"Electrofunk ensemble Michal Menert and the Pretty Fantastics quickly tap into a deep groove that emerges like a turbulent riptide swelling just below the surface of the sea."

From The Sea (extended)

Written as a way to embrace the often overwhelming struggles of today's chaotic world which leave us wondering whether the world is crazy, or we are. In the end, bittersweet acceptance that this broken paradise is where we deserve to be, where we belong. 

Our new album 'From the Sea' drops November 16th.

Where We Belong

“Summer's Gone” came from dealing with the realization that those closest to us may not be what they project. It’s about letting go of what you thought was real, but has revealed itself as the contrary. It’s facing the facts, both in yourself and others, and moving forward onto the next season of life.
