Sometimes when you go searching for a favorite artist's newest album, you get a rude surprise.
We lost the best thing since Daft Punk. :(
Starcadian's music is available on Bandcamp, Spotify, Youtube, and Apple Music. For my money, very few synth albums past or present can keep up with Radio Galaxy. Infinite repeat material, but it's weird now, his passing completely changed the vibe of the album. All of his records were straight killer, no filler.
I'm sad we'll never get a Netflix series in the Stranger Things meets Star Wars vibe that came out of his head. He was a video producer by day and that fledgling cinematic universe was all over his music videos. I'm going to link them in release order.
He was one of the top artists in the very first r/listentothis bestof. Even popped by the bestof thread to thank us for promoting him, one of the few artists to ever do that. Still remember the name of his reddit account. From what I can gather, his next album was at least past the halfway point, he was starting to release singles. We may get one final posthumous release from him, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. His final reddit comment from 4 months back:
all recorded up, working on the magic layers right now, taking time because it's on another level, so head down and off the internet until it blows minds, prooobably this year?
There's a GoFundMe for his family. He was expecting his first child when this happened. This is the sort of thing that makes me want to pick a fight with God on an idle Tuesday afternoon. :/ Artists this exceptional remaining obscure while AI slop tops the charts still makes my blood boil.

Man, what a tragedy, and he was killed in one of the most preventable interactions between bicycles and cars: he was doored. It happens when cyclists are pushed to the edge of the lane by traffic that's too fast or trying to claim the lane, and it makes it far to easy for the cyclist to run into a car door when someone doesn't look before opening it. It's a tragedy, and a completely preventable one.
Many years ago in New York was the last time that I rode my bike. I was rolling slowly down a hill next to a like of cars, not lane splitting, and a car started to pull out in front of me. I...
Many years ago in New York was the last time that I rode my bike. I was rolling slowly down a hill next to a like of cars, not lane splitting, and a car started to pull out in front of me. I squeezed the breaks and went over the handle bars. The driver realized I was there and nosed back into their lane. I picked my self up, went into work, and got bandaged up there.
I enjoyed cycling, but I'm amazed that other people ride around on the streets in US cities. I'll probably never ride again.
That's horrible, poor guy. 44 is too young. I have some memories of listening to Chinatown back in early 2014 that I cherish dearly. May he rest in peace.
