Le Castle Vania /

Le Castle Vania is the alias of Dylan Eiland, an electronic dance music producer and DJ based in Atlanta, Georgia. Eiland began DJing drum and bass at warehouse parties and raves in Atlanta at age 15. After receiving some attention for his remix of Atlanta-based band Snowden, Le Castle Vania rose to success and has since gained a sense of notoriety in the electro dance scene. His sound is said to blend indie and punk rock sounds with electronic-based disco and electro sounds. Many of his original tracks include a distorted bassline and a heavy kick and snare sequence. Eiland uses a simple setup, including Serato, a mixer, and two turntables. 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. He has had many tour dates, including many well known American festivals such as Electric Daisy Carnival, SXSW, Ultra Music Festival, and more, alongside artists such as MSTRKRFT, Soulwax, ATB, Justice, Steve Aoki and many more. Eiland has performed across Europe, Asia, South and North America, Australia, and Africa.
