Jared K - fish.tanque


The kids at le.tanque asked me to do a guest mix of bumpin' underground house for the springtime. After playing strictly vinyl for the past 10 years, this is the first mix I've ever made with CDs. I feel like a bit of a whore...but a giggly one. Freak it!

Pretty Lights



Derek Vincent Smith aka Pretty Lights landed in Calgary last night for Snowblower, a free outdoor music festival made ice-hot by PK Events as part of High Performance Rodeo. Armed with a sack of samples and a Monome 128, the Colorado-based producer served 2,000 toqued-up souldiers a sonic sushi roll of soulful glitch-hop and grimey wobbles dripping with horns, funk and dubwise sublines. We'll be talking about this one for a while.

You can download Pretty Lights' latest album, Passing By Behind Your Eyes, along with a shovelfull of other free stuff at prettylightsmusic.com.

In the meantime, here's the man dropping Let Em Know It's Time to Go with drummer Cory Eberhard at Red Rocks last summer.
