Artists: Wick-It the Instigator
An awesome new artist has crashed on the electronic scene. Going by the name Wick-It The Instigator, the Nashville native has just come out with an album comparable to the likes of Pretty Lights (consensus.)
This ingenius ensemble of mixes features music spanning genres and samples from notable Tarantino films, two of which lend their name to the album.
Featured hip-hop artists include the emerging Yelawolf and a veteran to the game Busta Rhymes, and many more!
Pulling from his roots in hip-hop/turntable music, Wick-It has fused some music from the recent developing electronic scene. He demonstrates his mixing skill in a remix of the the Motley Crue classic “Shout at The Devil”.
Wick-It The Instigator is definitely one to watch in the new year.
If you would like to download this album and anymore of his music check out his soundcloud.
Wick it has been on the scene for a while and i enjoy his/their music, but you gotta tke pretty lights over them.
Oh I agree wholeheartedly, I’d say Pretty Lights is about two floors up in comparison.
This is more like Girl Talk or Milkman to me, but less ADD. Almost nothing at all like Pretty Lights. This is only based on these 3 tracks, but there ya go.
Wick-It is a well known mashup DJ who only recently started producing dubstep tracks. Confused as to why you think this sounds anything like Pretty Lights, or whom this ‘consensus’ you speak of is among.
Other than that nice post, I would also recommend checking out his Big Boi/Black Keys mashup album from 2010 ‘The Brothers of Chico Dusty’
Never said Wick It sounded like Pretty Lights, I said comparable to him. Please read the article before you comment. Although I do apologize If i didn’t know about him before, a lot of my focus is on this dubstep scene, which is why I wrote the article now.

Far from being like PL. Just another mash-up artist (pretty good one though). PL focuses on the beat of the song and just uses a few samples here and there to give some pizzaz to the song. Honestly can’t compare the two because they are making completely different styles of music.
You got it Mike! Truly I the title was supposed to make you think about the article and the artist critically. I think in that respect I have succeed. (Though it was not originally phrased as a question, at first I had it as “Pretty Lights Contender” maybe a bit too brash for my editor, but it would have got the same job done.
