Pretty Lights
A living archive of light, rhythm, and motion.
Pretty Lights is the electronic project of Derek Vincent Smith - a sound built from chopped soul, warm analog textures, and live improvisation. This is my curated guide to the essential tracks and visuals, the ones that define its world.

The Songs
Nine tracks that carry the Pretty Lights sound - from the debut that started it all to the deep cuts that still glow. Each one has a direct watch or listen link.
02The 2023 era
A Trip Thru Time Fantastic
The expansive 2023-era release that brought Pretty Lights back in a big way. It arrived as a live, evolving body of work and stands as one of the project's richest statements - a journey through the full spectrum of its sound.
It contains 15 new Pretty Lights tracks, released directly through prettylightsmusic.com - a return to the raw, sample-rich, improvisational spirit that built the project.
