Their latest remix, rubella a synth-heavy italo take on Crystal Castles’ “Vietnam” reached the #2 spot on Hype Machine’s most popular charts in it’s first week of release, making it the 4th time they’ve reached the #2 spot on Hype Machine, and their 5th time in the Top 5. The song joins the ever-growing list of Midnight Conspiracy’s other successful offerings, including a dreamy dubstep re-imagining of Esser’s pop anthem “Headlock”, which was featured on BBC Radio 1 on the Kissy Sell Out Show, a spacey update of Crystal Castles’ classic “Crimewave”, which was released in support of the band’s new album and HARD Summer Tour, and Midnight Conspiracy’s first release, an italo-electro version of Chromeo’s “Night By Night”.

They’re set to release heavier official remixes of Shinichi Osawa, Editors, Innerpartysystem, Crookers and fellow Chicagoan Gemini Club.
