must go on

“…the creation of this track and video is also an artistic explanation as to why I chose the name “Pretty Lights” for my musical project. It embodies the essence of the artistic eye and the idea that almost any moment, anywhere, can be a moment of inspiration and beauty.”

can't stop

this is a banger right here. besides the instant crowd-pleasing beats, it kind of has a catchy tune. afrojack (david guetta's protégé) is really making his way through the mainstream audience-- skep-cityyyyy.  And he's also producing Paris Hilton's next album. ummmmmm. Anyway, I hope his "side project" doesn't get in the way of his bangin beats.

sexual lifestyle

i've been diggin these guys called strange talk for a while now. they have the vibe of their fellow aussies cutcopy, no?... this song is definitely an alternative to what they normally have out, but still gets the bloods flowin and the dancefloor packed. maybe not dancefloor, maybe just an apartment party?
