Cooley (Shuj Roswell) takes us on a journey of his distinct travels through sound and the paths of rhythm: from seeing Pretty Lights at Boulder’s Trilogy Wine Bar, to watching him outgrow Cervantes, to linking up with Michal Menert and Super Best Records, to collaborating with former STS9 bassist David Murphy.\n\nWe chat about his newest EP, Shuttlecock, which is his first project that features 100% original music, creating a beautiful blend of Lo-fi hip-hop that your ears are sure to love. As someone who has been there from this scene’s beginning, Mark offers an informed perspective on the different iterations of Pretty Lights, how we might mark the different eras, and the difference between labeling a song as a remix, a cover, a flip, or “vs.” This episode also contains a truly hilarious story of Mark’s first and only interaction with the one and only Derek Vincent Smith, whose surgical strategies might just be one of our favorite Derek stories we have heard yet on Almost Familiar.
