Pretty Lights – Shambhala 2012 Artist Feature0

A few days ago the Shambhala Music Festival team released the set times for all 6 stages so please have a look here and start planning which shows you want to see. PROTIP: If you are going bring a watch, it’s a little thing that goes on your watch and tells you the time (no, it’s not a cellphone). You can have a look at the set lists here – Shambhala 2012 Schedule.

At this point I am going to switch it up a bit, up until now we have been bringing you mixes from past Shambhala events but now I want to share some mixes that are not from the festival itself but are from some of the artists that are headlining this year. First up on the block we have Pretty Lights, the Denver based producer who makes ill electronic-hiphop-soul type beats. You can grab ALL of his albums from his site here (http://www.prettylightsmusic.com/) where he has generously put all of his albums, singles etc. up for free. Seriously, it’s all good so grab em all.

Pretty Lights has been garnering a lot of attention from his live show which is a spectacle to behold & for those of you who may have been thinking about attending any of the Full Flex stops over the next few weeks then take my word, the other headliners will be good but Pretty Lights will be amazing.

He was also one of the 5 DJ’s chosen to take part in the Re:Generation project which was a documentary where they take 5 DJ’s and have them work with famous musicians to make a song that has their flavor but is in a different style. In the case of Pretty Lights he had to make a country song and did so with spectacular results. Seriously this documentary is very cool and should be watched if you can find it.

Back to Shambhala, Pretty Lights will be playing twice this year – once at the Pagoda (Saturday, August 11th – 11:30PM) and then again at the Village (Monday, August 13th – 12:00AM). Be sure to check him out!

25 days until Shambhala 2012
