ATL come L.A. DJ/Producer Le Castle Vania has earned a reputation for whipping crowds into a frenzy, no doubt aided by this staple of his sets, the hard-as-fucking-nails electro track, ‘Zero Machine’ that samples (or remixes, if you prefer) the alternative gods, The Smashing Pumpkins, classic, ‘Zero’. If last year was all about Mr. Oizo’s RATM remix (or was it, Patrick Alavi’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ (here) remix instead?), this year is all about:

Also new in the Le Castle Vania repository is this collaboration with Birmingham (but soon to be L.A.) party monster, Computer Club. Computer Club shot this over to us before his recent string of L.A. dates, including Nocuturnal Wonderland (where he straight murdered it). Nod to event coordinators like Insomniac who have, in the last year, let this indie-electro-blog-house thing get a massive stage of their own and fill it with global players. It’s fun to be along for the ride as a genre goes from fledgling to full-fledged—But I digress… Here’s Le Castle Vania & Computer Club:

MP3: Le Castle Vania & Computer Club – The Messiah (Radio Edit)

Yo, so why’s it called ‘The Messiah’ (Besides the potentially obvious, it being a straight-up cover of Renegade Hardware junglist, Konflict’s 2000 track, ‘Messiah’), here’s one you might not know, from way back to 2003, when Le Castle Vania was Messiah-1, drum’n'bass producer and operator of his own short-lived label Negaverse Recordings. The release is a tune is ‘Relic’ which got a properly massive remix by L.A.’s Gridlok and the original ‘Red Dust’. Strictly jungle (the crazy bass drops are all about half-way in):

photek Photek favorites

Riding on the coattails of the last post, where we shared a remix from British producer Photek of electronic-punkers The Faint, I’d like to share another from the crates—A dusty 1996 gem known as ‘Single (Photek Remix)’ for archetypal electronic-pop group Everything But The Girl. Lead singer Tracy Thorn (perhaps known to our readership as the voice on Massive Attack’s 1994 single ‘Protection’), gives a heartwrenching delivery perfect for Photek’s moody producion.

Photek gained fans for his work in under the drum & bass banner—but with arms outreached into other areas, creating a career with not only d&b accolades, but numerous accomplishments in house, ambient, electronica, and film scoring. An active remixer through the ’90s, I consider Photek’s remix for EBTG his best—I come back to this song every time I get my heart broke (or at least I would if it weren’t for my stone cold pimpin’).

MP3: Everything But The Girl – Single (Photek Remix)

Digging deeper, sample some other variety of Photek. Different flavours of drum & bass: Serving up the ambient side on ‘Ni Ten Ichi Pyo’ (Two Swords Technique)’, which found a wide circulation on MTV’s original AMP compilation. Serving up a rare 2004 techy d&B B-side, ‘Baltimore’. Even a year 2000 Billboard Dance Chart topping house track, ‘Mine To Give’:

And just when you thought this post wouldn’t get all bloggy, we have a contemporary remix from Photek’s 2007 Drum & Bass album, ‘Form & Function Vol. 2′ from blogtown favorites, LA Riots—who, as drum & bass expatriates, make a logical and experienced pair to take on a Photek production for the official B-side.

steveaoki Steve Aoki: Pillowface and His Airplane Chronicles out today! Exclusives from Pase Rock, Uffie, Todd Fink of The Faint, Mickey Avalon & more

Steve Aoki (a.k.a Kid Millionaire)—the founder of Dim Mak Records and co-founder of Hollywood’s premier indie/dance weekly, Cinespace (Tuesdays)—is known the world over as a int’l party rocker and so-called celebrity DJ. Today, Steve Aoki droped his debut mix album, ‘Pillowface and His Airplane Chronicles’ on Thrive Records.

And what did I tell you? Aoki starts his record off with Refused’s hardcore punk classic ‘New Noise’ and from there on it, it’s three thick layers deep of partytime. Layer one: take a club hit: Justice’s ‘Waters of Nazereth’. Layer two: find the most balls-out remix from one of the biggest names in dance music, Erol Alkan. Layer three: (now here’s the tricky part) enlist your hip and talented friends, say, Spank Rock affiliate Pase Rock to put a special verse in the mix.

Now do that over and over again. You’ve got a pretty unique and phenomenal mix. Here are some layered excerpts pulled from the mix:

LA Riots: Justice, Scanners, Mystery Jets remixes

lariots LA Riots: Justice, Scanners, Mystery Jets remixes

LA Riots are (metaphorically speaking) burning L.A. down!

LA Riots is a recent formation of two well striped DJ/producers. One is Daniel LeDisko, who is known for his years of residencies at Hollywood’s 82, Moscow, and Le Disko. The other is Jo’B, who formerly DJ’d many-a jungle parties and raves under the name Orion and concurrently produces, the indie pop group Edison Gem.

With LA Riots, the sound is made for electro dance parties. Their stuttering vocal edits and four on the floor basslines are done with finesse and we all notice. Some of the right people certainly noticed the early unofficial remix of Justice with Uffie and recently have been busy doing commissioned remix work for EDM artists Ocelot, Hatiras, indie rock artists Scanners and Mystery Jets, d’n'b heavyweight Photek, pop superstars The Cure, and funky favorites Chromeo.

Nice resume for a band that is nearly fresh out of the gate, eh? Listen and learn:

MP3: LA Riots – Kill Bill

LA and OC heads can check out LA Riots this weekend at a new little multi-genre dance music club in Santa Ana called Trust. I’m favoring this place because I dig that they play breakbeat, garage and other sub-genres in with the electro, because it can’t all be electro/ electro/ electro all the time.

SF heads can see LA Riots play with us at Blow Up on Aug. 31st.

Errybody else sit tight and LA Riots will slowly glaze themselves across the earth. Keep checking LA Riots on MySpace for tour dates.
