Le Castle Vania is an electronic dance music project created by Atlanta-based DJ Dylan Eiland.[1]

Background

Eiland began DJing at warehouse parties and raves in Atlanta at age 16.[1] He adopted the name "Le Castle Vania" with the release of his remix for Snowden's song "Black Eyes" in 2006.[2] From 2007 to 2012, Le Castle Vania hosted the "Fuck Yesss" indie electronia dance parties at venues such as The Drunken Unicorn and Masquerade in Atlanta.[3]

Eiland uses a simple setup, including a laptop computer, a mixer, and two turntables.[4] He writes his songs on his laptop, often while traveling on airplanes, and prefers to play a larger number of his original work compared to his remixes.[4] At one point, his remix of Black Eyes by Snowden was the most requested song at a New Zealand radio station.[4] He has also remixed songs by Daft Punk, Kaskade, and Klaxons.[5]

The sound of Le Castle Vania is specifically intended to avoid the common southern influence of crunk, and focuses primarily on Euro-electro influences.[6]

In 2008, URB Magazine included Le Castle Vania in their list of "Next 100" artists to watch.[7]

In 2014, Eiland contributed to the soundtrack of the film John Wick with 4 original songs.

On October 21, 2015, Eiland contributed three new songs to the video game Payday 2 as a part of the game's yearly anniversary event, Crimefest.
