Lasers. Live instruments. Midtempo perfection. All of this embodies the unadulterated glory that is any Pretty Lights performance. He proved firsthand why he belongs on the shortlist for elite live performers when he melted our collective brains into a puddle at the ShoWare Center in Kent. Dropping everything from remixes to originals and everything in between, the Colorado native put on a show like nothing we’d ever seen.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a harder working producer in the business. Gathering together the best musicians New Orleans had to offer, he created his masterwork album, A Color Map of the Sun. Anyone who doubts his candidacy for a top 10 spot only needs to see him perform live once to understand why he’s in a class of his own. And if after that you still have doubts, there may very well be no hope for you.
Pretty Lights has never been voted into the DJ Mag Top 100.
