Christoph Caominh, aka DJ Caltrop continues to release excellent music on Nude Photo Music. “Good To See You” draws heavily from Caltrop’s influences – Italo, Synthpop, Kraftwerk, Moroder – but manages to put it all together in something that sounds new and relevant. From sweeping resonant strings, Juno squelches, and a solid analog bass, the driving rhythms coupled with lush melodies make this track suitable for the ipod as well as the dancefloor.

Atlanta based and internationally known, Le Castle Vania, commonly known as Dylan Eiland, quickly escaped the local trappings of his hometown in Georgia to play music around the world. Atlanta’s burgeoning music scene allowed him to develop his passion for music and nightlife, and he soon gained notoriety with his riotous DJ sets and penchant for production, which made him a household name in the dirty and distorted, indie-electro scene. He has DJed along side some of today’s hottest acts, such as Justice, MSTRKRFT, Simian Mobile Disco, Busy P, Uffie & Feadz, Kavinsky, Soulwax, Surkin, Para One, The Presets, Steve Aoki and Crystal Castles. However, Dylan prides himself on more than simply pushing vinyl for the masses. He’s also an avid producer and engineer; when not on the road he’s locked in the studio writing tracks from scratch and remixing his favorite bands. The attention he received from his remix of “Black Eyes” by Indie darlings Snowden (Jade Tree Records), quickly put Dylan on the map, the track continues to rock dance floors worldwide.
His signature sound blends grinding disco punk with strong electronic beats and catchy synth leads, resulting in banging electro music that is dark and dirty but somehow equally uplifting and dancey.
Two weeks in a row of great mixes coming from Atlanta boys. This week it’s a dirty filthy ElectroHouse Indie Dance monster!
