Bacon and Cheese - (Super Gravity EP)

When We Were Young

STS9

This song is off the second disc of Pretty Lights' older album titled 'Filling up the City Skies.' this album will forever be a favorite of mine. 

Electro Cali -- Pretty Lights

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.

Slivers Of Light

Berlin-based producers Michael Ritter and Felix E team up for their debut full-length album 22:22, a project shaped by stories, emotion, and collaboration.

The ten-track album moves between slower listening tracks, emotional pieces, and more driving cuts, each created with patience and love. Contributions from Sister Sol and Paul Brenning add a unique layer to the album, bringing a human touch to the duo's otherwise electronic sound.

22:22 is a milestone release for both friends and their mothership label Reconsider Music.

Wika Chikana - LIVE - 09.06.2014

We thought what better way to showcase the first show of the tour, than with the first song of the tour.  Wika Chikana lifted First Avenue off the ground and it didn't come back down for nearly 4 hours.  What a start to tour!  #sts92015
We're coming to your town next! http://sts9.com/tour-dates-tickets

Beyond The Clouds (feat. Artifakts)

03-Pretty Lights-Looking for Love (But Not So Sure)

20 years before the emergence of STS9, NASA sent Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 on a mission to the farthest reaches of the solar system and beyond. Each of these probes was equipped with identical Golden Records, special messages attached to what Carl Sagan called “a bottle launched into the cosmic ocean.” They contained numerous images and sounds from throughout the world, pieces of music from various cultures, a map identifying the location of our planet, and other information for whomever, or whatever, might find them.

While the Golden Records included greetings in 59 languages, they made no mention of nations and borders, wars and rivalries, or anything else that divides us. What they did mention was life, love, peace, birth--the things that bind us to one another and to the planet we call home. 

The Universe Inside is a reflection of this message. It is a story about human identity and the magical truth of who we are, where we’re going, and our place in the Universe. It says we are one, made of stardust and the forces of nature that evolved over billions of years. Connected by the sun, moon and stars, we are the living, breathing conscience of the Universe. 

"We are one, made from dust of the stars / down here we bear the weight of the pain and the scars / just want to live with nothing to hide / every one of us a universe inside."
