Pretty Lights (Derek Vincent Smith) is a producer.
He creates these tunes from scratch with his own synths ,bass and SFX (With sampling included) which is what a producer does. He is djing here BUT its all of his own originally produced material.
@InLucidityMusic You're completely right except for one thing. He's not a DJ. DJ's spin records by definition, but what Derek does is different. He triggers every sound in his music separately with each button he presses.
"A lot of people look at me behind a table and think that I’m a DJ, and to be honest, I’ve never spun a record in my life." - Direct quote from an interview with DVS
alotta people say that their video is this or that when it comes to remixing songs like this,,
but i got something new for yall, if you would just take one itsy bitsy click or like for this or my remix to this song your helping me get that much more closer to helpin me get noticed! :P
I was referring to the Guy who said all PL had to do was press play. I was saying one as a consumer only has to press play because PL did all the actual hard work. Mrpiehouse42. I was at that show and was as always impressed and know the work it takes.
@TheYakayuri I've been involved with music for years and this this is talent at it's finest. All these haters, frankly, have no idea what they're talking about. DJing has become digital but PL's production is far above anyone else's right now. I just laugh when people say "all he does is press play" because if that's their argument then they're really just saying "i don't know what i'm talking about" haha.
He's performing 100% of his OWN music live on a Midi Controller (used to use a Trigger Finger last time I saw him). He's NOT DJ'ing in any of the sense that you're stereotyping him. He's triggering all of the percussion and all of the individual parts of his songs and effects live on the fly.
@Spunjo1221 yeah im sure you could put something like that together - that why you get paid to have fun on stage right?? oh wait no one pays you to do that shit cause you probably cant
@Spunjo1221 i read the whole conversation. honey my bf spins and my brother-inlaw use to be a producer. my comment stands. i doubt you get paid to even dj let alone do anything like this. OH Your So Big And Bad Cause You Saw Them First - get real
@CrikeyAlexNick same thing applies to a band - once its recorded yeah all you really have to do is go press play on anything that will play recorded stuff but for someone like pretty lights to be able to re-creat the song live is the whole point about seeing music live whether its a dj or a band
I get more and more respect for this dude every day.

So you COULD call him a Producer/DJ

@rizdraver is absolutely correct. he could just prerecord a set, hit play, and stand there, but he doesn't do that. he's cuing it all up live.
