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!

Enjoy!

Starting out throwing parties in east London in 2004, they quickly moved on to making music because there weren’t enough tunes around that sounded like what they wanted to hear at the time. Their first 12” came out in 2004 “Be You (Beep Beep)” on their own label Cassette Records which built up a great reputation & released a handful of 12”s by Simian Mobile Disco, Meatboys (now Jackpot), Elektrofant & Zongamin. All releases amazingly packaged with hand screen printed sleeves. Soon the releases and remixes started flowing including remixes for: Digitalism, Peter Bjorn & John, Yelle, Lykke Li, Robyn, Tiga, and Miike Snow.

PJU are currently in their studio in London, W10, working most of the time when they’re not touring, and finishing off new material for their first album and working on their Tshirt label Stiff Couture.

Punks Jump Up party in the house.

So Kaskade continues to say he is producing House but honestly this sounds more like slow Trance to me. It’s true, producing Trance tracks is what gets you to the top of the DJ Mag Top 100 list but he needs to just fully embrace it and come out and say “Ok fine, this is Trance.” I know all of your House music buddies will give you crap cause you’ve gone over to the dark side, but come on be a man. Of course this is all in good fun, Kaskade, I tease I tease! I’ve played Trance, among many other style, for over 10 years and I’ve taken a fair amount of crap for it from many a closed mind. So without further ado, get Kaskade’s newest track “Dynasty (iTunes)” from his forthcoming album of the same name.

Jody Wisternoff rose to fame in the dance music world as half of Way Out West with fellow DJ Producer Nick Warren in 1994 when their singles “The Gift”, “Mindcircus” and “Ajare” took the dance scene by storm. But at the tender age of 13 in 1986 he had already proved he was one cut above the rest when he reached the DMC Hip Hop finals. Jody has since been putting out some killer singles under his own name including his recent release on Anjunadeep, “Lassoo” and “No Longer Strangers” which can be found at Beatport and other online retailers. In addition, his latest release as Way Out West “We Love Machine
” is available now.

Here is Jody Wisternoff with a moving mix on the deeper side of Progressive House.

You may know the Utah Saints from their breakout single “Something Good” which took over the dancefloors of many raves and clubs in the early 90’s and again in 2008 when the single was re-released with new mixes from High Contrast and Van She. The track took a catchy vocal snippet from Kate Bush’s “Cloudbusting” and looped it until it became permanently embedded in your brain. Tim Utah and Jez Willis, which make up the group, have been doing some serious dancefloor destruction with their DJ sets as I’m sure you can tell by taking one look at the tracklisting below.

Utah Saints this week providing a live mix of Dirty Electro and Fidget House from a UK gig earlier this year.
