Summer's Thirst (Remix)

The great singer, activist and soul sister Sandra Izsadore is back in the mix. She graced the international music stage on 1976's 'Upside Down' and has worked with  legendary artists Fela, Osibisa, Ginger Baker and many more. She influenced Fela to write about and focus on cultural matters of Africa, the Afro-Diaspora and human rights. She helped Fela conceive of Afro-Beat in 1969 in Los Angeles. Pleasuremaker wrote this song channeling Fela Kuti, Sandra and the history that tied this moment together as we face the most blatant disregard for human lives, human rights and for the struggle all people of color and poor and working class folks face all around the world each day. A new day is dawning, we must recognize where we have been and where we are at to ever truly make a brighter world.
This track highlights what is happening on earth right now in 2015 and has been an ongoing struggle for justice world wide.

Please take the time to share this track, this IS what is going down right down.
We dedicate this song to Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Freddie Gray, Eric Garner, Treyvon Martin, and the countless other innocent victims of murder, police brutality, and racism.

Dear World Feat. Sandra Izsadore

Live It Up

A rewind back to the first annual Pretty Lights Festival in Telluride, Colorado in 2015. Was a great show and Derek was nice enough to post a bunch of hits live from the festival.  One Time.

Get Down On It

Twenty-Six timeless and dabbed-out instrumental vignettes exploring Lo-fi Jazz/Soul, minimal Hiphop, and abstract Beatwork all soaked in vintage palettes and woven into a seamless head-nodding flow.

Dab Records was created from the friendship of Doug Appling (better known as downtempo producer Emancipator and the creator of Loci Records) and Asher Fulero (session/touring keyboardist and multi-genre composer/producer).

During some early-2016 idea sessions for new Emancipator music, the pair discovered a working flow in the studio that carried it’s own identity and decided to curate a new project around it.

Over the course of the next four years between other albums and tours, Appling and Fulero spent countless hours in the studio together filling folder after folder with ideas and then patiently sculpting away, refining the vision and lovingly crafting a timeless piece of art that showcases some of the finest work from either.

Layers of vintage keyboards, jazzy samples, minimal beats and abstract synths get soaked in vinyl scratching and dirty atmospheres, all smoked and toked into a blissfully hypnotic masterpiece that is obsessively detail-oriented yet loosely off-the-cuff in captivating stoner perfection.
