Pretty Lights‘ catalog just received a jolt from the generation he helped inspire.During his recent three-night run at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York, the iconic electronic music producer played out an unreleased remix of his 2011 track ‘I Know The Truth’ produced by GRiZ and Tape B, sending the room into a frenzy as the ID dropped for the first time in a Pretty Lights set.
GRiZ previously debuted the remix this summer at Electric Forest.The video captures the track’s energetic buildup before GRiZ and Tape B’s production tags clue the crowd into what they’re hearing.
The dancefloor erupts under lasers and strobes as the remix twists Pretty Lights’ original into a funk-heavy DJ weapon, swapping the track’s old-school synths for wobbling bass and snarling sound-design.Sheeeesh by u/BassMartian710 in prettylights The crossover represents a big moment, considering Pretty Lights occupies a foundational place in the lineage this remix is tapping into.
In the late-2000s and early-2010s, he helped build a bridge between sample-heavy electronic production, jam culture, funk, hip-hop and the bass-forward festival scene that would eventually make room for artists like GRiZ and Tape B.Pretty Lights helped lay the groundwork.
GRiZ and Tape B are now bending that foundation through their own bass-heavy language.And for a moment in Port Chester, all three timelines blended into one.
Neither Pretty Lights, GRiZ nor Tape B has announced a release date for the remix as of this writing.Follow Pretty Lights: X: x.com/prettylightsInstagram: instagram.com/prettylightsFacebook: facebook.com/PrettyLightsSpotify: tinyurl.com/33pm28uv Scroll to continue more from edm EDM.com On-Deck Circle: Afrojack, deadmau5, Subtronics & More Follow GRiZ: X: x.com/grizInstagram: instagram.com/grizTikTok: tiktok.com/@mynameisgrizFacebook: facebook.com/mynameisgrizSpotify: tinyurl.com/yu3acyjh Follow T...
