RJD2 has just premiered the video for the track “The Glow” which is from his newest album The Colossus. The video features the songs theme which is a douche of a guy(doll) that has “the glow” and parades around town in his convertible and his rich clothes and his smug attitude. Check out the video below:
RJD2 is a busy man now that his latest album has officially been released. The album, The Colossus, was just released on the 19th so it was a great pleasure for us to be able to speak with him after such a major release even though we only had a chance to ask some rather softball type questions. Check out the interview below and definitely go buy his latest album, especially considering the fact that RJ is in control of all aspects of his album release with his own label.
Here’s a track, from the new album, to ride on while you read the interview:

EM: How many records do you have in your collection?
RJD2: Never counted, but probably in the range of 5000. Not a huge collection by any standards, really.
This is your Daily 2% – Chilled and Ready to Serve. We will try to bring you one “chill” track every day. This is for when you get home and you are trying to unwind. You reach for that glass of wine or that unlit Black & Mild or maybe you reach for something more herbal. This track is for those times. We will try to bring you at least one a day. We are just your milkmen and I’m here to make a delivery. Chill…..
Today’s delivery is brought to you by RJD2. I can’t get enough of this guy and this is a perfect time to make a post about him considering the fact that his upcoming album The Colossus should be dropping in a few weeks. I would say since RJD2 first hit the scene there have been quite a few new artists that have tried to dabble in the same type of experimental electronica that RJD2 is famous for but I believe they come up short every time and I cant help but always going back to to some classic RJ tracks. The track I’m bringing to you today is from his album Deadringer and the track is called “The Proxy”. I’ve posted about this album before but I cant help it because almost every track on the album is truly amazing. The track is short but chill nonetheless. So check out the track and relax…

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.
RJD2 made a pretty big post on his Myspace yesterday about what he’s been up to and what’s coming forth. He explains that he recently just started his own record label called “RJ’s Electrical Connections” and now he represents himself. He says he say’s he’s been looking forward to this for a while and it has been a long time coming. He has already acquired the rights to 3 of his previous releases including: Deadringer, Since We Last Spoke & The Horror EP.
RJD2 also says that he will be releasing a box-set this October which will be commemorating almost 10 years in the game. He goes on to say:
A strictly vinyl affair, it will include full length LP versions of Dead Ringer, The Horror EP(first time on vinyl!), Since We Last Spoke, The Tin Foil Hat EP (a BRAND NEW EP of 7 unreleased songs!), a hand silk screened, signed and numbered poster, a download card for exclusive treats, plus a beautifully printed box.
Here is one of the first songs RJD2 has made under his new label. The song is called “Find You Out”. Check it out below:

Today’s delivery is brought to you by none-other than RJD2. I could probably pick almost any song from any album of RJ’s and come up with a chill song but today’s song is called “Seven Light Years”. The song is from his 2004 album entitled In Rare Form which included a lot of unreleased instrumental tracks. Check out the song below and just relax…
