Suicideyear AKA James Prudhomme hails from the home of No Limit records - Baton Rouge, Louisiana. His music is very much a product of his environment - the menacing sound of tuned 808 drums coupled with angst-ridden emotive synth work, inspired by listening to shoegaze and punk bands throughout his formative teenage years.
First coming to attention via his split single with Kaytranada on ‘Bromance’ in 2013, it led him to releasing the highly praised ‘Remembrance’ EP on Oneohtrix Point Never’s Software label alongside a vinyl reissue of his 2013 beat tape ‘Japan’.
LuckyMe first met him whilst on tour with S-Type in the South, leading to numerous collaborations including a stellar reworking of Jacques Greene’s ‘After Life After Party’ and joining the crew’s SXSW showcases and numerous other live events.
