Pretty Lights has been kind enough to bless us with another free download. This addition to the Pretty Lights arsenal consists of seven songs, all remixes, from 2010. Some of the songs are also exclusive remixes from the NYE shows that PL put on in Chicago on December 30th and 31st of last year.
The remixes pretty much run the gamut of music genres. Artists include, but are not limited to, the Notorious B.I.G., Kanye West, Jay-Z, The Steve Miller Band, James Brown, Pink Floyd, and… the Chicago Bulls intro song? Yes. It’s hard to say which track I enjoyed the most; they are all pretty sick bangers. It really depends on what you’re in the mood for.
Note: There are no individual track downloads here, but there is a link to the free download of the entire remix album at the bottom of the page.
I was a pretty huge fan of the “Empire State of Mind” remix, for sure. It just sounded too damn natural. Biggie’s flow goes perfect with Jay-Z’s hit.

The “Pink Floyd Time Remix” is sheer awesomeness. Derek managed to preserve the rock essence of the song, yet turn it into choppy electro banger. This track really symbolizes the versatility of Vincent’s talent. Great stuff.

I should preface this one by saying that I grew up in Chicago during the Bulls’ golden era. I watched Pippen, MJ, and Rodman run on court to this more than once, so it makes me a little nostalgic. After a gorgeous build, bow down to the funky drop around 2:00.
