One of my favorite things to do (other than make music of course) is go on tour with my friends to play music and of course party with you guys, the fans every night! I’m so amped that I get to do that once again starting next week, this time I’m rolling out with my homies Dirtyphonics for the rest of their bus tour through April and May. Nerd Rage and Etc!Etc! will be joining as well on select dates, and I gotta say I’m so excited to blast it out with all of them!

The first city I’m hitting is Lubbock, TX next week, we’re also making a stop over at Euphoria Festival … and Atlanta don’t worry, I’m coming back for you May 18th and we’re going to get crazy together! I miss my home town but I’ve been putting in work here in Los Angeles wrapping up my album. By the way… I’ll have a ton of really awesome announcements to make about that soon. I’m so insanely stoked about it, can’t wait to share the news with you guys!

Below are all the venues I’m hitting over the next two months, for the most part you can find tickets to all of these shows here. I hope to see all of my friends and fans out there!

Woop woop! It’s time again to head to Austin for SXSW, one of my favorite music gatherings to be a part of. I’m really happy to be there again this year in a period where the scene is really bubbling and all of my friends and so many talented musicians are all in the same area.

I’ll be out there this weekend for two shows, the first of which I’ll be curating myself. I’ve partnered with Lose Control to present Le Castle Vania & Friends, where AC Slater, Audrey Napoleon, SLDGHMR, and my homie (and newest signee to my record label Always Never) Crywolf. The party will be over on 6th Street at Pure Ultra Lounge and is open to everyone, with or without a pass!

Next up is Saturday night over at the Madison, where I’ll be doing an official SXSW showcase with Sepalcure and Kid Simius. Priority goes to SXSW badgeholders but make your way over and come join me for the party!

For more info on SXSW, head over to their official website, and don’t forget to stay posted on my Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for all my Austin shenanigans!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to give you a heads up that I finished a new remix. This one’s for the legendary Vitalic‘s latest release on Different Recordings. Working on this for a producer I’ve always respected and a label I really like was really awesome and I’m really stoked on how it came out. I’ve tried this one out in the club a few times now and it’s gone off every time!

This release will be out on all major online music stores next week but we’ve made it available early as a FREE DOWNLOAD, all you have to do is post with a tweet or a Facebook post! This is a thank you to all the fans that help to spread the music so spread the word & enjoy! You know I love giving you guys free stuff!

Also if you haven’t already, be sure to grab my other free downloads, you can nab the summer banger “Play Loud” right here and check the rest of my downloads at here.

Happy Fall, friends! My label Always Never just dropped a new release today & I’m really proud of this one and super stoked to share it with you guys. It’s my homie Mad Owl‘s first release, Glacier. The release includes the original title track, which is a really cool seven-minute techno track that is a bold and energetic venture that evolves throughout to leave you with your body tingling! I had a lot of fun with my remix, it’s been a little bit since I’ve been able to work on a remix so it felt awesome to finish this! The second remix is from my friend Modek, he did a really dope job. All together I truly am excited about this EP and i hope you enjoy the tracks as much as I do!

You can stream my remix below, I’ve also included the purchase links and my social media links to click through as well!

I’m back from my second year on the Identity Festival tour, and I just gotta say I had an absolutely stellar time travelling across the states and visiting so many special cities. I’m so proud to be a part of something as special as Identity Festival. They’re really doing something original and awesome, it’s truly a pleasure to go on tour with them and visit some of the cities I don’t often get to hit on my tours. Watch the recap video from my buddy Mr.650 & see if you can find yourself!

The lineup was really cool again this year, a lot of artists I really respect, and a ton that I got the pleasure of hanging out with over the length of the tour! I gotta give a huge shout out to my boy Madeon, apart from him being so talented and killing it at such a young age, he’s a super cool dude and I had a blast hanging with him over the past few weeks. I also have to give a big thanks to Joel aka Deadmau5 for showing a few of us around his amazing home and studio. Big love to my bus mates as well!

It was really awesome to see the response to my new track “Play Loud” over the course of the tour, I have to give a huge thank you to everyone who shared and downloaded it! And a bigger thank you to everyone who did that and then came and raged with me at one of the Identity stops! Seriously, I love all of you and every single one of you going out and grabbing my song or dancing along with me is the exact reason that I make music and even more so why I want to share it for free with the world.

If you want to catch some recap photos of the tour, you can go to iHome’s facebook page by clicking here.

Hey guys! I know it’s been a minute since I’ve released any new jams for you guys. I have been locked up in the studio working on my forth coming album in between being out on tour. That’s why i decided to sit down in the studio with the specific intent of creating a new song to give away for free as a thank you to all of my fans and supporters! Here’s what i came up with, a monster banger that I have titled (appropriately in my opinion) “PLAY LOUD”! As i said this release is 100% free for you guys all i ask as that you click the pay with a Tweet or Facebook post link below to help spread the word! After posting about the song you can download the song and put it on blast!

Remember most importantly don’t forget to PLAY LOUD!

Hello everyone! My first release of 2012 is officially out today on ALWAYS NEVER Records and I’m so excited to finally share it with you guys. It’s called “The Light” and it’s full of disco goodness for your ears. This release has been a long time coming, as I’m sure many of you recognize the track from my Bulletproof Tiger mixtapes and my sets. I had a really great time making it, I love digging into the old-school disco vocals and putting my spin on it for the dancefloor. Danceable indie-disco grooves with and eerie twist… just how I like it!

Enjoy!

Le Castle Vania – The Light
