EDM
American electronic music producer Derek Vincent Smith is better known by his stage name, Pretty Lights. Since founding the project in Fort Collins, Colo., in 2004 with Polish DJ Michal Menert, he’s been VIP at Burning Man decompression parties, hippie music festivals and EDM spirit journeys around the world. His music uses digital sampling from a broad range of genres to create an amalgam of glitchy hip-hop, buzzy synth, deep funk and vintage soul. Pretty Lights performs with its four-piece touring band on Sept. 6 and 7 at 7 p.m. at Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena at Harvey’s in Stateline, Nev. | prettylightsmusic.com
