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 electronica 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]
