Christian Srigley and Leighton James, better known as Adventure Club, have been rapidly ascending the dance music scene since they first got together in 2011. Hailing from Montreal, the duo formed while attending high school as a hardcore pop-punk band, but later decided to move onto the more electronic sound of dubstep, or should we say, “clubstep.” The first song to put the duo on the map was their remix of the song “Daisy” from the studio album of the same title by alternative-rock band Brand New. The song was put on The Hype Machine, and the rest, as they say, is history.
With a studio session early after their initial debut, the boys released a handful of tracks, catapulting them to fame. Remixes of theirs like “Crave You” or “Youth” by Foxes showcase Adventure Club’s characteristic blend of syncopated rhythms, emotional melodies coupled with emotive vocals and smooth bass aligning each track. Some of their signature sound, or the coined, “clubstep,” can also be attributed to the program Cakewalk SONAR that they use to produce their music. Although it isn’t a very popular program, the duo credit it in separating them from the rest of the producing pack.
Currently, if they aren’t in the studio being anonymous superheroes, you can find the boys of Adventure Club touring around the world, delivering their infectious clubstep to the masses. Come get your dose of adventure this August 31st as Adventure Club make their way to the Sun City stage for the return of El Paso’s Sun City Music Festival.
