Footage taken from the 2011 Pretty Lights New Years Eve shows @ the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield, CO. These two shows were insane, and it was the first ever Pretty Lights NYE celebration in Derek Vincent Smith's (Pretty Lights) homestate of CO.

"You Get High is a new style hip-hop jam that incorporates what I think sounds like a slow-mo disco stomp. It's soulful and funky at the same time and it's all about the high you feel when listening to good music." - Derek Vincent Smith

Damon Albarn - Dr Dee Interactive Album Sampler

Dr Dee, a new studio album by Damon Albarn, will be released by Parlophone Records on 7th May 2012 - Pre-Order here

Dr Dee is 18 tracks of songs and music inspired by the life of John Dee, mathematician, polymath and advisor to Elizabeth I. Described by Albarn as 'strange pastoral folk', Dr Dee is a fitting companion to the end of another Elizabethan age. The album combines Albarn's voice with early English choral and instrumentation alongside modern, West African and Renaissance sounds.

Dr Dee was recorded late last year in Albarn's West London studio and also in Salford with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. The album was mixed by Valgeir Sigursson in Reykjavik.

Damon Albarn Dr Dee Live at One Fest, UK 14th April

Watch Damon Albarn's Dr Dee Opera Live at the London Coliseum June 25 -- July 7, tickets from £15 Details here
