Music

damn this is legendary. 

quick story!

Pretty Lights originally was 2 producers...and a drummer for the live stuff but mainly it was Derek and Michael. "taking up your precious time" was essentially the debut album, a 2 disc album that SHOOK up the electronic scene. we had never heard such a "pretty" sound, while also appealing to the bass native crowd...he did things with samples nobody else was doing. he was manipulating anything and everything, and blended all genres into his electronic sound. also the name pretty lights was a meme in itself, but maybe we'll touch on that another day.

around the time the music starts blowing up...Michael gets hospitalized after suffering an injury during a robbery, and has to deal with a few personal developments..among them probation, and house arrest for narcotics distribution, and a sick father. I have no idea who decided on what, but Derek continues Pretty Lights as a solo project...
