Bio: Le Castle Vania is the production alias of fist-pumping speaker squealer DJ Dylan, aka Dylan Eiland. Hailing from the Dirty South, Eiland was influenced more ... (more) by what he didn't want in his music from there-namely, prevalent crunk. Espousing, "Disco is the new disco," Eiland makes life-affirming Euro-electro-it's stroboscopic sleaze-pop "that sparkles and shines like Champagne at an orgy," says his boy Andrew. Le Castle Vania's melody- and mascara-streaked remixes have reshaped blog-rock champs including Snowden (Jade Tree) and 120 Days (Vice Records). Additionally, original collaborations with Brooklyn's Factory Aire plus upcoming vocoder-flecked work for indie labels including Dim Mak and iheartcomix stalk like a white tiger in old-school kicks.
