Thanks to Smoke Machine’s “Flight of the Dead Grizzly (Smoke Machine Dub)”, we managed to find ourselves in on a dub site. Check it out as we are proud to cross into another genre.

Brooklyn’s dub and hip-hop producer, Smoke Machine, remixes a Destronaut favorite, ‘Flight of the Dead Grizzly’, in summertime fashion. We’re really digging this gem-sized, deep dub track. It starts the summer all over again. Download the remix at http://smokemachine.bandcamp.com/.

The Calm Before The Storm…

It may seem like that from the outside, but we’ve been busy writing new songs for our live shows. We’re hoping to deliver our audience 6-10 new tracks on top of our current 5. We’re very excited because we feel it’s a big evolution since ‘3 Moons’, yet (to put it simply) still very Destronauts.

See you all soon.

‘Luna Llena II’ by Ana Maria Velasco

Destronauts — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 21:07:32 +0000

With our EP set for delivery on February 2nd, we thought it’ll be proper to give a little insight on the artist of our cover. Here are a few words from the artist’s website and as you will see why we knew her art would merge with our sound so well:

The lines that run through Ana Maria Velasco’s art take inspiration from every corner of her life. Ana Maria was born in Bogotá, Colombia, to a family of political leaders, poets, writers, and rebellious figures; she grew up between a Nicaragua (her mother’s homeland) undergoing the throes of dictatorship and revolution and a Colombia ravaged by narco-terrorism. These turbulent, yet inspiring environments heightened Ana Maria’s sense of social awareness and, early on, solidified art as a path for bringing positive change into the world.

Her landscapes are populated by drastically diverse people and situations that are harmoniously tied together through line, color and form. Ana Maria’s paintings explore how a line can transform a helicopter into a river alchemize a quiet mountain top into a populated city; unify an intimate dinner with a loud soccer stadium spectacle. One element flows into another, effortlessly leaving behind a translucent trace of dreams, memories, and figures. The layered scenes often depict battlefields and sports arenas, yet the turmoil is surprisingly calm, wrapped tightly in a mysteriously peaceful poetic quality. The portraits and the Jungle series are driven by her love for people, animals and nature. She captures the spirit of her subjects, revealing a glimpse into another realm, leading the viewers through fantastic tales, inviting them to invent their own story.
