The Hidden Shades

Pretty Lights

A collection of b-sides and reimagined tracks that lean into the darker, more atmospheric corners of soul-infused downtempo and glitch-hop.

Find on Amazon

It's like a soul record from 1970 that was found in a dumpster in 2014 and put through a glitch machine.

A heavy, soul-drenched nocturnal meditation that feels both vintage and futuristic.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the ODESZA remix of Lost and Found introduces a shimmering, melodic brightness that contrasts with the original's darker weight.
The deep, resonant bass drop in New Moon Same Dark that feels like the floor falling away into a velvet void.
The intricate, clicking percussion layers in the Emancipator remix of Starlit Skies that mimic the sound of clockwork under a night sky.
