Suicide Sundaes – stop your grinnin’ and drop your linen. Every Sunday electblake and jsully of Earmilk will bring you the weeks dirty servings, and some old favorites through a throwdown-throwback to simpler times. A time when bangers were big, remixes were bigger, the bassline bled, and we didn’t care about anything as long as came in kicking and left screaming. To hell with sketchy sunday, we want to shove another dragon down the hole.

We’re sorry it’s been so much time off. Not to make any excuses, but we’ve had a few technical difficulties the past few weeks, but we can promise, it’s only for the better. We thought this week we would pick up where we left off and bring you some hot ass tracks guaranteed to get you on the dance floor. Only me, JSully will be dropping tracks on you this week, as Electblake is away for a minute or two. (He’s probably bangin’ your mom right now…he’ll be back soon, so don’t fret.) Hopefully I can live up to the epic-ness of us together all alone!

Today we’re bringing you some new Vitalic, something I know everyone is loving right now. Also, some semi-new Munk and a bad ass A-Trak remix everyone will want to jam to. Oh, and a Animal Collective remix that should make you straight up get all indie-pop crunk. If that exisits. I think it does.

Keep Reading…

When Randolph Chabot, the 22-year-old auteur behind Deastro, is asked about the title of his new album, he recounts a dream about a prince, a kingdom, an evil King of Darkness, and a search for the mythical “Moondagger,” the bearer of which wields ultimate power. While Moondagger, Deastro’s astonishing new album, does contain traces of that dream—in all of its bittersweet, fantasy-novel glory—the record itself is infinitely more down-to-earth, containing the sort of unrelentingly earnest, inspirational pop music that could only come from a kid weaned on fiction but living desperately, joyously in the here-and-now.

Randolph Chabot Jr. started to make electronic music when he was 13 at his home in Sterling Heights, MI. He finished his first album that year despite the ecstatic, aural trauma it caused his mother. He studied youth development in college with the intent of becoming a social worker, dropping out to pursue music full time. He formed an electro band called Velociraptor, which inspired the ideas for his current synthesized projects: Our Brother The Megazord and Deastro, which try to blur the lines between electronic and acoustic music. All the music is made in Randolph’s Detroit basement with the help of sampled children’s toys and synthesizers.

This is definitely some wild music, and from what I understand it is a absolutely wonderful show live. I swear Ghostly International keeps putting out some great stuff. Now that I think about it, they released an iPhone app that’s about to get posted. Enjoy.
