Hey all you people giving your opinions on who is better than who, nobody asked you to compare them and nobody cares. Just appreciate the music and the talent of the artists.
@meadowautumn You people realize, most people wouldn't even put those two in the same category.... music wise. Anyway, needless to say it's all a matter of one's opinion
why does every fight over the same type of music they all have their different styles. Deadmau5 is not as chill as PL. Deadmau5 makes chill and fast tempo music.
FUCKIN' A! I have been searching for this tune FOREVER! It is on the Rossignol Avenger 74 Carbon ski commercial! THANK YOU SoundHound App! COOL tune by the way!
First off, it's hard enough just to keep the samples on the correct timing when you're producing music like this. Playing keyboards, while sampling five different pieces, often in different time scales, is fucking ridiculous. I mean, honestly if you don't appreciate how hard stuff like this is to produce you know literally nothing about production-side music, idgaf how good you are at guitar, drums, french horn you are, saying this doesn't take talent is ridick.
Second off, this isn't rap. This isn't even close. It's beat-based, production side electronica with dubstep elements and samples from traditional instruments. Often, these instruments are played by DVS, live, onstage, while he is running a light show and keeping fifteen different lines of sample tracks running in perfect key and on beat. Again, saying this doesn't take a tremendous amount of talent, musical ability, and general fucking awesomeness, is ridiculous.
In conclusion, not only does Derek have incredible proficiency with a small range of traditional instruments, he is a producer the likes of which is extremely rare in this world. His pieces flow from the carefree and groovy, to hard hitting, bass-heavy dubstep madness, and back again, with perfect transitions, and his mastery at track arrangement and timing often make for moments when you stare, awestruck, at your speakers and say "What the FUCK just happened?"
@blurpy11 everyone is entitled to their opinion on music. personally, i think that rap doesnt take much talent at all. but i give the people that do it props because they ENTERTAIN people. if it doesnt entertain you, then dont listen to it. but obviously you had some sort of interest in this song, or else you wouldnt take the time to come on here and bash it. n unless you are one of those people with no lives who just complains on others videos because you have no life.
The original is Message From A Black Man by The Whatnauts. The original is sick. The Temptations and Spinners also have versions of this song. Mos Def, Rza, Doom, and Nas have also sampled this. Worth checking out
when the most thumbs up a comment about a band is about how it would be easy to edit you have a problem. this is pretty bland super easily produced music, real music takes talent to produce.
@blurpy11 you're a dumbass/troll.. An edit's compiled footage of like snowboarding, skiing, skateboarding, etc. set to music.. Anyhow, go make something better then, and quit your bitching..
@Tomas1242 first of all if you know about mixing music, this is all done on a machine, he may live have someone playing the guitar but the guitar and the drums and everything were all done on the computer, mixing programs i sat next to a guy on a cheap vaio laptop and watched him create a beat a hell of a lot sicker than this is less than 5 minutes its not hard at all, music like this is extremely overrated it takes no playing talent, he doesnt play 1 intrument so how is it music?
my new CD will be out soon, titled: "Staring At The Lights: Welcome To Johnny TrentonVille" and it has 6 songs i recorded over Pretty Lights instrumentals. 10 Other songs. Add my channel, youtube UTICA BATTLE LEAGUE
@stockholm7x Leave deadmau5 out of this. Its not always a competetion. I love BOTH artists and cannot deny their broad scope of talents. He makes mostly house and whatnot, and PL doesn't, so cant really compare.
To all you fuckheads that complained about me calling them a band I know Derek and Adam personally you little aholes so go fuck yourselves!! You are more worried about starting shit than the music so you don't matter. Go play with your xbox
@ctrackv3 Hey go kill yourself faggot, how bout that? Just for the sole purpose that disliking this video wouldnt "annoy" me.. All it would do is let me know more about dumbass people like you that hitting a button would annoy someone ;) Piece of shit
@eatmintsblowdro24 gets you kinda aggressive, huh? if you didn't care, you'd not have answered. that you even care for how many people dislike this video is very telling. hope you think about how sad your life must be and turn it around soon. i mean that
@ctrackv3 I never once said I cared, me commenting saying 0 DISLIKES, or fuck all you bitch ass haters! That just means how damn good of a band pretty lights is.. I never said I cared, But you must care since your the one who said ur gonna dislike it to annoy me. Lmao your a waste of space homie... I mean that
the sample song is weary eyes by wu syndicate, he also uses the voice from the same weary eyes song on the new ep track; drift away which is really good too
