Apparently, we aren’t just keeping this blog active for ourselves. Some of you guys actually are paying attention, checking out what we have to share, and keeping it reeeeeal bangin’ We truly appreciate it!

Take my man, Subvader, for example (woah, this guy makes some heavy a$$ stuff)… He hit us up a bit ago after following the blog for some time, to let us know he was out there and listening. In turn, he shared with us some of his music.

You will DEFINITELY be seeing more of his name around our blog, and RIS Labs.

Pretty Lights is the musical vision of Colorado based producer Derek Vincent Smith, accompanied in the live setting by drummer Cory Eberhard. His first two albums, Taking Up Your Precious Time and Filling Up The City Skies have been downloaded over 300,000 times from his website, which equates to over 6.15 million track downloads. Hot off his recent UK tour, Pretty Lights has announced plans to release three new EPs, the first of which, Making Up a Changing Mind, will be posted online on 2nd March, a week before the US spring tour kicks off.

In an effort to get his music directly to his fans as soon as it’s written, Derek will record the EPs only a few weeks before each release. It’s a pretty gutsy move to set release dates without finished material, but for Derek, who’s been recording albums and immediately releasing them for free on the internet since 2006, setting deadlines like this isn’t a big deal.

I Can See It In Your Face is a rolling number – glitched up soul vocals, brass hooks and electric guitars pave the way over a gritty bassline. When the track climaxes you get a tasty bit of dub wobble before it jumps back into the jazzy flow.

Something a bit different for you today in the form of some well-crafted electronica from Constant Drift. This guy is based in Dublin and has been in the production game for a while now – there’s a good number of TV soundtracks and ads that feature his work. Now he’s turned to producing his own progressive/electronica stuff and the results are great.
