STREAM: Le Castle Vania - Live At Escape From Wonderland

You gamers out there might remember the Nintendo game Castlevania where your mission was to slay vampires and other undead creatures. That was fun, wasn’t it? Well I’m not talking about that, but instead Atlanta native Dylan Eiland’s project, Le Castle Vania. What started off as a joke with some friends about creating a band after the video game stuck and now LCV is one of the most well-known electronic music producers in the game. Once upon a time Dylan might’ve been driving stakes through the hearts of the undead, but for the last twelve years he’s been destroying dance floors with his remixes and originals. I had the chance to talk to Dylan before he brings his energetic set to U Street Music Hall this Thursday for the tenth All Things Gold installment with Viceroy and Ghost Beach. Limited tickets available HERE. Full interview after the jump.

All Things Gold returns to its regularly scheduled programming on Thursday, May 17th with another line-up worthy of U Hall’s sound system. We’re going heavy on the DJ’s this time, enlisting the proven skills of ATL’s best, Le Castle Vania. Supporting this electro-dance heavyweight behind the decks is San Francisco’s Viceroy, who’s name has been plastered all over the Hype Machine charts these past few months. On stage, we’re welcoming back All Things Gold alums Ghost Beach, who after a string of successful SXSW dates are back with a brand new three-piece line-up, drummer included. Dust off those dancing shoes people. This is one you don’t want to miss.

Join us at U Street Music Hall Thursday, May 17th at 9PM. Tickets are available now for $12, or $15 at the door. Place is sure to be packed so get tickets while you can.

It’s monday y’all and we’ve got something special for you. Last week we dropped the third single off ATG Records — “Neon” by London-based Queen Of Hearts — and today we bring you the first official remix of the track by our boy Lightwaves. The budding producer puts a new spin on the original, turning the already catchy tune into a glittery electro-pop jam. Think RAC-style synths, groovin’ blissed-out beats, and a hook that’ll be with you for days. Be sure to catch Lightwaves on Friday, April 27th at ATG’s Water Street warehouse showcase with Penguin Prison (DJ) and Nicos Gun (live).

Yeah, you read that right. U Street Music Hall, All Things Go and Neon Gold Records are bringing 17 year old French DJ sensation Madeon (along with the District’s best, Lightwaves) to DC. Not much else to say here other than watch the YouTube video that started it all if you haven’t yet and buy your tickets to his DC debut now before the show sells out. This’ll probably be your only chance to catch him at this intimate of a venue.

Join us on May 16th at U Street Music Hall. Advance tickets are on sale now for $18. Limited tickets will be available the door for $20.

From April 19th – 29th, the No Kings Collective and Popal Group will host the Water St. Project, a pop-up space along the water in Georgetown that will showcase some of the best art, culture and music that DC and beyond has to offer. On Friday, April 27th we’ll be taking over the space and curating a night of fantastic music. On the decks we’re bringing in Penguin Prison — who aside from being an amazing live act opening for Miike Snow the next night at the 9:30 club has some impressive DJ chops — and resident ATG beatsmith Lightwaves. On stage we’ll have ATG first-timers Nicos Gun. If this Philly four-piece has proved anything, it’s that they know how to get electric real fast.

Join us Friday, April 27th at 9PM at the Water St. Warehouse (3401 Water St. NW, Washington, DC 20007). Tickets are only $10 and the venue is amazing, so get on it people.

ATG and Neon Gold Records are kicking spring off right with the April edition of All Things Gold. Headlining the night we’ve got a live set from one of the biggest talents coming out of Europe right now: Yuksek. The French electronic producer has long been tearing things up in the Fifth Republic and is set to take the States by storm. The latest from Yuksek is “Off The Wall,” an infectious electro-pop single off 2011′s Living On The Edge Of Time which also happens to have quite an impressive video. Supporting the talented Frenchman is French Horn Rebellion, who have already cemented themselves on the circuit as certified party starters. If you have yet to hear anything from this amazing duo, their SoundCloud page is rife with tracks that will get you pumped for next week.

This month’s All Things Gold has undergone a slight schedule change, so we’ll be seeing you at U Street Music Hall next Wednesday, April 4th at 8PM. Tickets are available now for $12 HERE, or $15 at the door.

It’s been more than a year since we last heard from Charlotte Gainsbourg, when she released her highly acclaimed Beck-produced album, IRM, back in 2010. But Charlotte isn’t one to stay off the radar for very long. She’s always been in the public eye in one way or another since making her acting debut at the age of 13. Also the daughter of songwriter Serge Gainsbourg, Charlotte has just put out eight previously unreleased songs and live recordings and wrapped them into a double album called Stage Whisper. One of its singles, “Anna,” has gotten a nice remix treatment by Belgian disco producer Moonlight Matters. Moonlight Matters embraces Charlotte’s deep, breathy vocals and brings them down a bit further. The instrumentals, while completely different from the original, are bright and capture the melancholic vibe of the lyrics. Get ready to get lost in this one.

Bastille has yet to release a full record, but they’re developing a loyal following in their native London and, like so many great bands smashing down in the UK epicenter, the shock waves are quickly spreading across the seafloor to rumble our American homes. All kinds of big names are having their way with their first official single, “Overjoyed,” including my eternal crushes Yeasayer, who ensconce frontman Dan Smith’s dreamy vocals on a velvet throne draped with rare gems and exotic furs. Download the lavish remix below and check out the band’s Other People’s Heartache mixtape here.
