Alright folks, here's a rising electronic duo from Fort Collins, CO. Their called Pretty Lights. I didnt want to upload the music because its free on their site. Check it out, it will be the best free music you will ever lay your hands on. Assured.

Download the first two albums, Filling Up The City Skies Disk One and Disk Two.
The first one is good, the Taking Up Your Precious Time, but nothing comparable to the new albums by Derek Smith, the producer for Pretty Lights. Please, everyone, if you like to party, listen to electronic music, party music, whatever it might be, I urge you to check out this rising artist. You'll thank me later. :-)

The threads have aligned and conjoined to become one sickening frankenstein-esque monstrosity that will one day bring about our very destruction - MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Awesome.
Here's a face-rockingly rifftastic album from 1993.
Quicksand - "Slip"

Pretty much a post-hardcore masterpiece. Guys from various NYC hardcore bands, led by Walter Schreifels (previously of Gorrilla Biscuits, went on to form Rival Schools), playing a rhythmic blend of alt-metal and punk, not a world away from Helmet's "Meantime"-era material. It took a few listens for this to really sink in for me, but it's worth it - it's easy to see why it's considered a classic; the songwriting is top-notch, the riffs and vocal melodies are catchy, and it's gritty and unrelenting throughout. The album is incredibly influential, and it's influence can be heard in the vast majority of rock music that's come along since. In particular, the nu-metal movement seems to have been massively influenced by the lumbering metallic riffs that Quicksand and their peers dealt in. However, blaming nu-metal on Quicksand is like blaming NWA for Soulja Boy. There's a very slight sonic similarity, but inevitably the copyists entirely missed the point. Probably realising they'd never top "Slip", Quicksand released a good, but inferior, followup in the form of "Manic Compression" two years later, and promptly split up. Reunions gave rise to a tour and a failed studio session before a final breakup in 1998.
N.B. Download also contains the Japanese bonus track, a cover of The Smiths' "How Soon Is Now?"
