Pretty Lights has just announced a 2-night New Years Eve run in New York City. From the man himself:

"I'm taking it back to a more intimate vibe for New Years Eve this year with two shows at New York City's Roseland Ballroom. It's been over two years since I've had my own proper show in NYC, so I wanted to make my return to a city that inspires me something special. Both nights will feature extended PL sets, so you'l get hours of classics, bangers and new, unreleased tracks in a more intimate setting in one of the world's most amazing cities. It's going to be two extraordinary exciting evenings of beautifully bangin' futuristic yet retro electro hip-hop and funky ass soul music.. with Pretty Lights!"

Special 2-day passes go on sale Wednesday, October 17th at 10:00AM EST on Pretty Lights' pre-sale ticketing site for $110. Individual night tickets go on sale Friday, October 19th at 10:00AM EST in the same place. 

For those of you who haven't heard it yet, here is Pretty Lights' newest single, "So Bright."

According to L D R U, the Queenscliff native aka Drew Carmody began his career very early, "at only 15 years old using fake id's to play in clubs."

The mixtape features numerous remixes, and several new tracks from his upcoming Freestyle EP, which will be available on October 16th on Amorphous Music. Today also marks the first day of BassNectar's Fall 2012 Tour, fresh on the heels of a Summer Festival circuit that had him headlining such festivals as Counterpoint, Electric Forest and Camp Bisco XI.

New Release: Pretty Lights - So Bright (Free Download)

Before so much as an announcement date for the new album (already a year and a half in the making), the track "So Bright" was leaked. Derek Vincent Smith aka Pretty Lights did the only logical thing and released the track as well on his own website along with the following statement:

"A new track from my upcoming record has leaked out unintentionally. The song is called So Bright. I was not ready to put this track out but some how it's now posted on multiple sites as well as for sale on multiple sites. I made it available for free download just now on the PL site because it has never been my intention to strictly sell any tracks off my new record. 

All the samples used in the track are from self composed one of a kind vinyl pressings. There is a short documentary to be released soon about the making of this upcoming PL album because it was a very unique and laborious process. I'm insanely excited to release the entire record but... I'd prefer to do it on my own terms:). Much love to all PL family, I hope you enjoy the track."

Obviously, I'm just another one of those sites sharing this, but since the cat's out of the bag, I couldn't help but share with you guys. Enjoy!
