Passing by Behind Your Eyes

Pretty Lights

Dusty soul samples and glitchy boom-bap beats collide in a hazy, neon-lit atmosphere. A masterclass in nostalgic downtempo for late-night city dwellers.

Find on Amazon

It's like finding a box of old soul records in a futuristic city and playing them all at once.

A nostalgic, neon-lit journey that balances heavy hip-hop rhythms with the fragile beauty of forgotten soul music.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the soul vocal in Sunday School stretches and breaks over the heavy bass drop
The transition into the shimmering, hopeful synth melody halfway through City of One
The rhythmic stutter of the drum break in Keep 'em Bouncin' that feels like a skipping record
The haunting, isolated piano motif that opens World of Illusion before the beat hits
