The very latest from Leon Boiler has arrived in the i:Vibes mailbag with a new exclusive monthly DJ mix, Streamlined club night, a quick Q&A and all the summer news...
The August Leon Boiler newsletter slotted into the i:Vibes mailbag this week and its always worth sharing for the latest goings on in the world of Leon Boiler:
Bolier’s Studio Sessions
Not showing the studio equipment a moment's mercy, Leon will continue to ply trance-floors with some proper speaker-quakers throughout August & September. Just released via Menno de Jong’s Intuition Recordings is the pair’s latest team effort... ‘Last Light Tonight’ has been super-heating dancefloors and radio waves with its hyper-infectious riffs over the last few months. You’re time to get your hands on it is right about now! He’s also just finished a new solo Bolier bomb-drop; a crafty preview of which can be heard by checking out Leon’s July YouTube update. Remix-side he just tied the bow on recalibrations on the title track from Push’s ‘Global Age’ album and the classic Space Brothers anthem/classic/delete-as-appropriate ‘Legacy’. Also lined up in pole position for September’s floors are ‘Lunar Diamond’ & ‘Seraphic’, which will hit that promo trail mighty soooon.
Gareth Turbo – EDM Tyrant
The stars have improbable names like Sue Lut, Freak Happymountain, Gilbert Griefyard and the titular, ultimate-evil, Gareth Turbo… aka the man who wants to banish dance music from the world. Welcome to the wholly demented, utterly brilliant puppet world of the Leon Bolier’s nutso Top 100 DJs 2009 video. We assure you, you’ve never seen anything quite like it. Check it out and remember: you can change the future!
Summer Flashback From Leon
“The last couple of weeks have been pretty hectic for me as I’ve been visiting 3 countries a weekend the last few weekends on the trot. That was all before I headed over to Intuition’s Summer Festival as a last minute stand in for Andy Moor. As always I.S.E. was amazing as were the gigs in Kiev, Gatecrasher, Leeds, Tomorrowland, Belgium and the Bee Free Festival in Slovakia. Unfortunately gigs in Egypt and Turkey got cancelled the day before I was due there (to circumstances out of my reach). I felt bad for all fans that were looking forward to the events. I will though be back in Egypt in September though and I'm sure I will be back in Turkey soon as well. I’m also really looking forward to making my debut in Canada. If you’re one of those that have been requesting to see me out there, I seriously hope to see you down the front at Circus Afterhours in Montreal on the 2nd of October!”
Streamlined: The Event
To finish off what’ll have been a heck of a year for Leon, ‘Streamlined’ the compilation album becomes Streamlined the event in December. Club Poema in Utrecht is the place, the 26th of December is the date, the time though is yet to be confirmed (!). Any which way Leon (in partnership with the Solarize Agency) and alongside an international cast of guest DJs will be giving the speakers Merry hell for an event that promises that "Christmas will never be the same again!" Full info (including that all-important start time!) in the next mailer.
Be in TOUCH with Leon!
Social networking! Where would the world be without it? Back in the flappin’ Jurassics, that’s where! A time where TVs were the size, shape and (approximate) weight of houses and such inventions were often considered to be the work of witches or even of alien origin. Anyway those days are gone... thank the heavens! Now you can stay up-to-the-nanosecond date with all of Leon’s 'info-bolts' through the marvellous organs below. Personally I suspect these to have been created by wizards but I've often been told to keep such opinions to myself.

Check out his roof-raiser now by clicking cheerily away here until you start hearing some sweet, sweet music!
N.S.F.A.Q. (Not So Frequently Asked Questions)
In our new LB news-mailer feature we want you to ask Leon a… N.S.F.A.Q.! The best 3 inquiries will get answered and each winner will take home a fetching bit of Bolier-belia. Think outside-the-box, step outside the envelope, in fact throw the envelope away. Pop it in the bin, you don't need it. If you nail an interesting question he’s never been asked before, you’re in with a GREAT shout of getting it answered! Send them to: info@solarize-agency.com
Sied van Riel, Spijkenisse, The Netherlands: Leon, how much is the fish mate? Leon Says: Check this link bud…
Sasha Lahijanian, Silicon Valley, CA Are you paying for the flight too, Leon? Leon Says: No.
Nick Smith, Charlotte, NC What country has the hottest Leon Bolier groupies?
Leon Says: Good question, it's actually Libya. The hottest place on earth ever recorded was El Azizia in Libya where the temperature reached a scorching 136 degrees Fahrenheit (that’s 57.8 Celsius) on Sept. 13, 1922. It was the hottest ever measured. Damn, the chicks were hot there.
Welcome To The BOLIER Room!
In this new feature we go into, through and back out the other side of Leon’s mind. The subject matter: anything and everything apart from EDM (which we think is pretty well serviced by the rest of the mailer!) The subject of Bolier’s Blog this month is: Jon Brion's theme for the movie 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind', an older one for sure, but for me one of the best films Jim Carey was involved in (the other two are The Truman Show and Man on the Moon). If you didn’t see this movie yet… go watch it! Usually when a movie starts playing it kicks off with a (part of) the main theme of the soundtrack and if that grabs my attention right away. The flick usually ends up very much the way (like I like a movie to be!). That's exactly what Jon Brion's theme did to me: grab my attention. A simple, yet beautiful masterpiece and a great compliment to the storytelling in ‘Eternal Sunshine’
