The tracks, mostly in minor keys, are bass heavy, unhurried and unexpectedly thoughtful. But where Daft Punk went on to build pop songs, Pretty Lights sticks to dance music.

This time, instead of sampling old vinyl, he worked with musicians, singers and rappers in Brooklyn and New Orleans to emulate 1960s and 1970s soul grooves, then pressed vinyl discs of his own tracks to be sampled and collaged. Derek Vincent Smith, the D.J.-producer from Denver who records as Pretty Lights, has worked his way up the electronic dance music circuit with tracks steeped in the midtempo stomp and distorted undertow of hip-hop he releases all of his music for free download from his Web site, though for “A Color Map of the Sun,” he’s also selling CDs and LPs. Daft Punk decided to trade samples and programming for live musicians, revisiting vintage funk styles in the studio, and released its album “Random Access Memories” just weeks before Pretty Lights revealed a similar metamorphosis on its new album, “A Color Map of the Sun” (Pretty Lights Music). The Music of India.Timing can be treacherous.
