Pretty Lights Launches Record Label, Announces First Two Releases of 2011

By drainu182 , Tags :

Fresh off an incredibly successful year, Derek Vincent Smith (aka Pretty Lights) is ready to give his fans a gift to start the New Year off right- the announcement of his own record label, Pretty Lights Music, which will release free new music in early 2011. Derek’s objectives are simple- he wants to supply his fans, and fans of electronic music at large, with free music from the artists he believes in and supports.

Today, he’s thrilled to announce two new digital releases (in addition to Michael Menert) on Pretty Lights Music, both due out January 25th. Break Science will be releasing their new EP, Further Than Our Eyes Can See, and Paper Diamond will be dropping his debut EP, Levitate.

Download Paper Diamond’s MP3 “From Now Till” HERE

Raised in the cultural hotbed of New York City, Break Science’s Adam Deitch and Borahm Lee fuse the city’s rich musical legacy- jazz, funk & soul, with a deep-rooted connection to its hip-hop heritage to create their own take on modern electronic music. Break Science’s EP, Further Than Our Eyes Can See, consists of thought-provoking, highly-textured, bass-pumping songs that include verses from some of today’s most conscious artists: Brooklyn’s Talib Kweli and Jahdan Blakkamoore, Sierra Leone’s Bajah and India’s Falu. In addition to Break Science, Adam Deitch also doubles as Pretty Lights’ touring drummer.

Download Break Science’s MP3 “Zion Station” HERE

Colorado based producer Alex B is rolling out big tunes under the new guise of Paper Diamond in 2011. The Paper Diamond sound has raw energy and the kind of dramatic anticipation only a seasoned producer can incite. Driving beats and bass grab on tight while deep, rich tones rumble under layers of spacey synthesizers, sweet melodies, and catchy vocals. Paper Diamond’s debut EP, Levitate, will be available for free download via Pretty Lights Music on January 25, 2011.

Another Planet Entertainment, Superfly Productions and Starr Hill Presents, in a partnership with the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department, are proud to announce the lineup for the third annual Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival. The multi-faceted festival will take place in San Francisco’s historic Golden Gate Park August 14 – 15, 2010.

To view the 2010 Outside Lands Lineup Remix video, click here:

In its two years, the Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival has set the standard for live music in Northern California. The 2010 lineup will once again bring unmatched creative programming that showcases the top artists in a large variety of scenes, including rock, pop, world music, soul, hip-hop and electronic. Like the first two years, major national headliners such as Kings of Leon, Furthur Featuring Phil Lesh and Bob Weir, The Strokes, My Morning Jacket, Phoenix, Social Distortion, Levon Helm and Al Green, will perform alongside the best emerging artists in the world, including Gogol Bordello, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Janelle Monáe, Tokyo Police Club, The Temper Trap, Pretty Lights, Dawes and more. The complete announced lineup is listed below. More acts will be announced soon.

Saturday’s headliners Phil Lesh and Bob Weir, both members of the Grateful Dead, played Golden Gate Park frequently in the late 60′s and early 70′s. Furthur’s headlining slot will mark the first time that Phil Lesh and Bob Weir will perform together again in the Park since Bill Graham’s memorial tribute, ‘Love, Laughter and Music’ in 1991. After three years of non-stop touring off their latest and hugely successful album, Grammy Award-winning band Kings of Leon will play on Sunday evening in Golden Gate Park for the first time ever.

From its inception, Outside Lands has celebrated the four pillars of Bay Area culture – music, food, wine and technology. There is no other festival that honors its home city to such an extent, making it one of the most unique and enjoyable events in the country. The eclectic nature of the music programming extends to the approach festival organizers take to bringing under one “roof” the best in wine and food the region has to offer. At no other festival can you dine on the delicacies of the city’s most famous top-tiered restaurants while sampling some of the best wine in the world.

Outside Lands is thrilled to have Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications as a partner for the 2010 event.
