Artist: Pretty Lights
Album: Misc Single from the 2011 Remixes Collection
Genre: Dubstep, Mash-Up
I know this is a single, but Pretty Lights is one of the few innovative electronic acts out there today and deserves some coverage. What makes Pretty Lights so innovative? His incredibly smooth mix of dubstep, hip-hop, funk, and soul elements. If you've never heard him all of his music can be found for free at the Pretty Lights website.
This song was posted by Pretty Lights some time yesterday and was immediately spread around the internet. It combines elements of Radiohead's "Everything in its Right Place," Nirvana's "All Apologies," and Nine Inch Nail's "Closer." Now many of you have probably heard Girl Talk's mash-ups, but this is nothing like that. This track seamlessly incorporates all of the tracks beautifully, weaving them in and out of each other without the listener noticing. The track overall has a very dopey feel to it, it is very mellow, the kind of music you close your eyes to and sway rather than dance. The bass comes in heavy and even has the typical dub-drop, but it's very subdued and designed to engross the listener even further into this track.
There's not much I can say about this that you can't hear, so go download Pretty Lights' music and go check out this remix.
