Adventure Club

They originally began as a hardcore pop-punk outfit, but got bored with analogue sounds and moved towards more electronic influences.

Their sound is perhaps most comparable to the geeky dubstep stylings of Skrillex. There is an affinity in dubstep for bratty, teenage gamer culture and DIY effects. Adventure Club pride themselves in using Cakewalk SONAR, a little-used production program, which they claim gives them a special edge over other electronic dance music artists.

Among their other influences are Flight Facilities, Greeley Estates, Bring Me the Horizon, Brand New, Tiësto and Flux Pavilion.

Also like Skrillex, they owe a great of their success to viral word of mouth marketing and video streaming platforms. Adventure Club gained notoriety when their remix of post-hardcore outfit Brand New’s track “Daisy”, the title track off their 2009 studio album, went viral with the help of a listing on The Hype Machine, an MP3 rating website.

Their reputation grew with the online release of their first music video, for their remix of “Everything To Me” by Lips (Peter Criss, the drummer of Kiss’s first band). It was featured on UKF Dubstep’s YouTube channel and gained the duo a critical mass of exposure, with two million views by November 2012.

Adventure Club are maybe best known for the viral remixes that they consistently release, a lot of them of pop-punk songs of their salad days. Among their remixes are “Put On” by Young Jeezy, featuring Kanye West, “Broken Lungs” by Thrice, “To A Friend” by Alexisonfire, “Youth” by Foxes, “Remember (Walking in the Sand) by The Shangri-las, “Till the World Ends” by Britney Spears and “Crave You” by Flight Facilities, which was used in an episode of the MTV series Teen Wolf.
