Pretty Lights borrowing from Tired Eyes?

[PeterWojnar]

Is it just me, or does Pretty Lights seem to have "borrowed" from Tired Eyes (Chris Stolz or H-mob Productions, circa Idea) a few times?

For example:

 

[panojibber]

Pretty Lights borrows from a LOT of different artists - its how he makes his music.

Its all based around sampling, I guarantee you most of his tracks are made up of chunks of other music. This is actually a super common music industry practise, ESPECIALLY in hip hop and electronic music.

This.

Its called a sample. Pretty light samples many different songs in every song they make, you must not listen to much music. This is why their music is free to download because they can't make money off of it because 50% of it isn't their original work.
