Pretty Lights and Dead Bob

Derek Vincent Smith, known as Pretty Lights, hails from Fort Collins, Colorado. He pioneered "Electro Hip-Hop Soul," blending glitchy beats, buzzing synths, and vintage funk/soul samples. His Grammy-nominated album "A Color Map of the Sun" showcased original recordings. Renowned for free music and immersive live shows, popular tracks include "Finally Moving" and "Hot Like Sauce."

Dead Bob is a Canadian punk rock supergroup from British Columbia, led by John Wright, co-founder and drummer of the influential band NoMeansNo. Known for its restless rhythmic intelligence, dark humor, and genre-defying blend of punk, jazz, and post-hardcore, the project features collaborators like Ford Pier and Kristy Lee Audette. Their albums include "Life Like" (2023) and "Nothing Changes Everything" (2026), showcasing original material and reimagined NoMeansNo tracks.
