Pretty Lights is about to drop an album two years in the making. ‘A Color Map of the Sun‘ will further establish his reign of transcending the bounds of genre, reinventing the way we listen to electronic dance music. As he continues to rise as a tastemaker in the industry, WhiteRaverRafting decided to take a look back at his earlier work, a collection of rare and unreleased content from his earlier days including work with artists like Michal Menert and Corey Eberhard.

2.) Speaking of Happiness

Editor’s Note: We realize some of you PLM heads may have heard these before, but this is for the fans who haven’t had the same chance at discovering the sounds that define Derek. Please understand that some of these tracks are HD rips from live sets, but others are just works from many years past. Happy to share this with everyone. Much love to the PLF <3.
