since we can no longer rely on Aeroplane to produce guaranteed instant joy, TITTW we post remixes, summer jams, etc that recreate similar spirit

Instant bookmark for this thread.

I still listen to the monthly Aeroplane & Magician mixes but they never really seem to come close to those heady, early Aeroplane days.

I've been playing this old remix a lot lately:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6vfsj2BKGw

ya i have nothing to contribute but this thread is excellent

The Kolombo and the Yuzi Suzuki are both really doing it for me, make my earholes happy.

(though what *is* it with the soft porn imagery in the videos? makes it really quite hard to watch these at work.)

think it started off as unirony "shexy timesh mushic" and then got appropriated "ironically"

I automatically assume every house record has a pervy video attached unless proven otherwise. It's just safer that way.

I think it's the whole beach vibe, for which, lovely ladies in bikinis is ~totally~ appropriate and to be expected. Like, I should instantly get the vibe that I'm sitting on the deck of a yacht, drinking a pastel coloured cocktail and surrounded by beautiful women in bikinis and oversized sunglasses, like, I *completely* want to get that vibe from the music. But I'd just like to be able to view this thread at work without OMG NIPPLE DANGER. ;-)

I'll just keep the window minimised while I listen I guess ha ha.

Then again, I am holding an open spot on this thread for any new tunes Roisin Murphy wants to grace us with.

Features on the new Toddla T album
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brCcmpsq5xY

yeah MTV Dance was basically one long softcore movie until all the gumby d'n'b got popular

Ha ha, yeah, what was that video they used to show ALL THE TIME, I think it was Erik Prydz or someone really really naff, but it was just nothing but semi-nude ladies using POWER TOOLS and it was, in point of fact, the greatest video of all time.

Hey, there is exactly one Yuki Suzuki track on Spotify and it's the right vibe.

there are a couple of almunia tracks i want to post in this thread but they're not on youtube, i might have to u/l them myself when i get home

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5bYDhZBFLA

definitely top 3 greatest vids of all time

Almunia is on Spotify so I'll give it a whirl.

I'm actually trying to compile a Spotify playlist of my fave Aeroplane remixes and stuff I love that reminds me of Aeroplane remix vibes so if you've got spotify links, as well, that'd be great.

x-post ha ha that might be it, but there's no way in hell I'm watching that at work to find out!

it is that one karen altho the youtube is a lot shorter than the verzhion of the tune that i have

Ha ha oh god, I managed to watch about 30 seconds of it before my boss came back in and I've got tears of laughter in my eyes. So good. This is the thing, though, the originals of those kinds of videos really annoy me, but when they're subverted, like that Satisfaction video or very obviously the Windowlicker video, they make me laugh SO HARD and they are the best thing ever.

Lex, I've found the album New Moon by Almunia on Spotify, which tracks do you recommend?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s0q-cVvCHU

Not strictly relevant to this thread seeing as everyone knows the song but it's the right vibe and probably a Top 10 moment of my life.

It doesn't have to be new, DC, it can be anything that fits the vibe described here.

And I really don't think I have the right Almunia because this is just flat out Spacerock and I can't imagine the Lex listening to anything that sounds this much like Pink Floyd?

http://soundcloud.com/leocekko/1-almunia-l-g-psychedelic

Ha ha, I hadn't actually watched DC's vid before posting that - YESSS. I want to listen to things that make me feel like I am on *that* yacht, wearing *those* sunglasses.

That's the right Almunia, I was surprised by the Lex love as well, maybe it's the lack of vocals.

I guess if it's, like, "Attack ships on fire off the Balearic Nebula..." style spacerock, it would belong on this thread?

I can always stand to hear this track again (and again and again and again...)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPg-qTGX3tI

(They also managed to work in I Can't Help It by Jacko and Enjoy The Silence and Stop Baijon and Nocturne by Kate Bush and Chime by Orbital and a load of awesome cosmic disco stuff I didn't know, it was probably the best DJ set I've ever seen. I'll shut up about it now.)

Lex, I've found the album New Moon by Almunia on Spotify, which tracks do you recommend?

― Aphex Twin … in my vagina? (Karen D. Tregaskin),

My favourite tracks from the album are probably Electric Blues and Travel although this one's lovely too:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmpzaDBrgEA

Bubble Club have been doing some really nice stuff in this vein as well - most of it's much slower Balearic stuff but this is pretty dancefloor-oriented:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahu2aaxlzOg

The original is the one I'm really thinking of but that's not on Youtube.

OMG NIPPLE DANGER

totally off-topic, but I've never understood why the nipple is always the censored part - I'm a man but I have them too, I know what they look like. It's the curve that I find more offensive and gratuitous than the nipple. See also: covering the gap when you can already see most of the ass.

Lex, I've found the album New Moon by Almunia on Spotify, which tracks do you recommend?

all of it really - "new moon" was the single that grabbed me, the vocal version of "travel" on the album and "until she comes" are really nice exampls of their ability to write ~songs~ as well

also

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMQtI7Dk_RE

This thread warms my heart <3

o_0 Lex, this (Almunia) is somewhere between mid-period Pink Floyd and an Emeralds album played at the wrong speed. IDGI?!?!?!

~~~~~WARNING: POSTS COMPLETELY OUT OF CHARACTER~~~~~

I mean, it's OK and all but I do not want wibbly wubbly spacerock in my Aeroplane-influenced Italo Jams compilation thank you very much.

I think this one fits the bill:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXCujKOlTWw

waaaaaaa, I'm falling behind, only up to Bubble Club (the orig is on Spotify and that's a HELL YEAH) but nice to see the suggestions keep coming, pls!

It's that ~shimmery~ wibbly wub noise that really gets me. I mean, this is years and years pre-Aeroplane, but it's the main synth sound in this track (also plus girly vocals and handclaps) that makes my ears sit up and say boy howdy:

http://open.spotify.com/track/5BYBWrug3wjqjChoMSsYJz

(Medicine - I M Yrs, if you don't have Spotify, but it's not on YouTube)

OK, the beautiful male falsetto vocals just kicked in on the roberto rodriguez track, with swishy synth sounds and yup, that's going on the playlist, extra bonus points for superfluous house piano chucked in on top, YESSSSS so happy.

(i assume you've heard john talabot & glasser "families" k8?)

I listened to the Talabot/Glasser track when someone posted and remember being curiously unimpressed by it.

(side note: basically, if someone would do a swishy Aeroplane style remix of Azari & III's Manic World, that would be my favourite thing in the world ever, but it's so not gonna happen, that would be a mutant.)

ooh i just got the remix promo cd of "manic", haven't listened yet (don't think i recognised remixers' names), will let this thread know if any are in that vein

YUP, the Max Essa remix has the handclaps, the swishiness and ghostly female vox, but man, I wish they'd left his vocals out of it, ha ha. Otherwise perfect.

Actually, that reminds me - there are definitely some BTWS remixes that fit this thread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXwkKuiZXcg

(suspect this is one of the ones where Richard said "Look, move over, Erol, let me drive...")

http://soundcloud.com/themagician

check out the magician (one half of aeroplane) mixes - the last two or three have been SPOT on

sweet thread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGeF2ysnn3w

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NDCzDylJu8

I've gone head over heels for that Yuki Suzuki track. Glorious.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmasc87IdPs

(Video also features lady wearing not many clothes btw)

I'm still trying to work out if I like Max Essa or if he just irritates me. If this is Aeroplane-Italo enough for me, or if it's just rubbitch 80s soft rock with a bit of disco added on. (see also: naked ladies as props on album art)

Actually I think it's crossed over from yacht-techno to yacht-rock and I'm not having it.

I danced on a yacht on four separate occasions the other week and I'm pretty sure it was played at at least three of them. #humblebrag

heyyyyyyyyyyy...

I hear a good deal Classixx / Aeroplane in this remix:

YT is down at the moment, so here's the SoundCloud:

Body Language - Social Studies (Plastic Plates Remix)

This is rlly old and I had completely forgotten about it, but really belongs on this thread, too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq6OIwcekPg

http://soundcloud.com/robbiedani/10-wolfram-pianopella-and

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbZcdEPXGl0

I added a bunch of these to a spotify playlist - not sure if the versions on spotify match up to the youtubes here, and there's a bunch missing, but hey it's free

http://open.spotify.com/user/danielyao/playlist/23baATWrrXM0D60xvw942u

Aw, thanks, that's awesome! v useful.

I had also been working on a playlist (which was the whole reason I started this thread, looking for new stuff to put on it) which has a lot of overlap with yours, obviously, but I filled in a couple of older tracks and actual Aeroplane remixes and stuff with the right voibe.

http://open.spotify.com/user/masonicboom/playlist/3onL7X7uPEcsdlhjvBztlb

Haha old-aeroplane should sue. The drop at 3:20 is ridic:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PHZ7sI9eOA

Toomy Disco - Static Friction (Mario Basanov Remix)

Wow, this flipped up on Spotify, and wow, amazed at how appropriately it would slip right into this thread:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbotxVn5JGU

I have also figured out what it is that distinguishes actual Aeroplane remixes from "things that sound like Aeroplane remixes", consistently.

most tracks listed here a bit too jammy for my tastes (Aeroplane remixes were always kinda songy, right?) but that KDMS 'tonight' song+video was totally worth dredging this thread for

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8HCbWlHFuo

Psychemagik - Carnaval De Trancoso, instant sunshine vibes from this. Matt DC, I read that Psychemagik DJ'd at one of the boat parties at Electric Elephant, were they who you caught in your video upthread?

that new flight facilities song is so so great, my song of the year so far

bump because the cold snap is making me long for sunkissed disco-house like the kind Aeroplane used to make

I really really really love the Aeroplane mix of the Rapture's "Sail Away"! sadly the one they did for Storm Queen & released last week is godawful but the Rapture one is probably my favorite Aeroplane mix since like 2009.

a link might help:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_af8E4yb9Q

Two more remixes from Plastic Plates worthy of mention:

Katy Perry - The One that Got Away (Plastic Plates Remix)
PP wrench more pathos out of KP than I thought she was capable of.

I Blame Coco - Turn Your Back On Love (Plastic Plates Remix). Sting's uncanny daughter can write a great chorus, though the rest is a bit rote

Hey guys, I love this thread. Thanks for all the great recommendations. By way of giving back, I'll just leave this here. Enjoy!

A year old, but Jeremy Glenn - New Life (Perseus "Summer of '83" Remix) really satisfied my need for a soul man crooning over Tangerine Dream's "Love on a Real Train" from the Risky Business soundtrack:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_3Vu5PiUVk

estelle - cold crush

manuel sahagun - tomorrow (phunktastike remix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hLxYwnWl_c

The French Express label (Perseus, Chris Malinchek, Jonas Rathsman, Moon Boots) has been the leading light of this stuff for a year now. Moon Boot's "Sugar" from earlier in the year is more or less a remix/edit of Janet's "If", and its still flawless.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lcl7fwnNR48

updates needed. will be DJ-ing in a sunny cheery setting. thanks!

The blog The Last Gas Station does decent work covering the sub-genre. Some pointers: The Magician's Magic Tape set lists (they're all on La.Ga.Sta), Surf Ambassador Hendo's setlists, every thing on the French Express label, most Kitsuné label compilations, and half of Youtube user Majestic Casual's uploads.

Of current note, French Express, just mentioned above, now have a UK #2 with Chris Malinchak's "So Good to Me". And early stalwarts Classixx finally brought out their debut album Hanging Gardens.

Tons of freebies on soundcloud from the standout names like Plastic Plates, Perseus, Gigamesh, Moon Boots, Villa, Moonlight Matters, Breakbot, Yuksek, Goldroom, Flight Facilities etc.

Have I mentioned how much I love Moon Boots? I LOVE Moon Boots:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0bdN4ZLAys

thank you. many of the stuff are too poppy for me but there are definitely some gems there.

Probably too poppy for Durrr cubed, but the Kitsuné Soleil Mix 2 sounds promising.

Not seen this posted on ilx anywhere, but the Todd Terje remix of Bryan Ferry is pretty great

https://soundcloud.com/toddterje/bryan-ferry-don-t-stop-the

For the price of a Facebook like, the fixie bike manufacturer Solé sponsors monthly hour-long mixes by sunshine disco producers. Classix, Gigamesh, Goldroom, Oliver, Plastic Plates, RAC, Treasure Fingers etc. each have an installment, with tracklists typically available at the artists' Soundcloud page.

Shall we begin our Summer Jams of 2014 countdown?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4z06GhDQxc

Ariana and the Rose – In Your Bed (Oliver Nelson Remix) on Soundcloud was quite nice too.

Seems a bit early, but with the strange weather these days, maybe summer starts in March now...

The new EP Romance by Darius follows the Aeroplane template to a 'T.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_YKbAWXp18

Sunshine disco from Minneapolis, recorded in the same studio as Janet Jackson's original.

Gigamesh - Control (feat. Caroline Smith)

is there an up-to-date thread for this sort of stuff these days?

Closest would be the rolling Tropical House thread.

there's this thread, too, maybe? synthpop / electro pop / nu disco 2015

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xtev3N2HQc0

Does anyone still listen to Vito's or The Magician's mixes? I see them come up on my feeds but don't think I've listened to one in over three or four years. Stephen's Magic Tape mixes are into the #60s now.

Vito's only doing one or two a year now; I'm sure I listen to them but they don't make any impact. Haven't listened to a Magic Tape since before I Dont Know What To Do came out.

Listened to (the song) We Can't Fly yesterday though, and it still holds up. Having not heard the album, I'm happy to think of the song as a culmination of the Aeroplane project

they don't make any impact

I've seen Vito DJ solo a couple of times since the split without really making an impact either tbf. but it was fine? crowd was dire the second time, so

I feel like songs from The Knocks and Classixx and Satin Jackets albums from this year all belong in this thread.

Do we still think the We Can Flay album is trash?

refer to my previous sentence on the matter
