Coachella Artist #5 - Pretty Lights

While I'm not the biggest fan of my last Coachella pick, I have a big man crush on the next artist and his uncanny ability to produce amazing tracks. Pretty Lights (Derek Vincent Smith on a monome) has been around for a while, but if you've been living under a rock and never heard of them, he offers his amazing music fo free! So go download the albums here

Pretty Lights makes me wanna dance with my hands (cause I'm quite white and can't dance normally). This first song, I Can See It In Your Face, is the first leak from one of his 3 upcoming EP's, Making Up a Changing Mind. The rest are "old" but still amazing. If I were only going to see one artist at Coachella, Pretty Lights would be it, hands down (or hands up if you dance like me).
