Search - ALL OF IT.Destroy - Jacques Lu Cont. He is no longer necessary.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 11 December 2008 10:45 (fifteen years ago) link
What I love about them as original producers - the sense that on every single occasion they're consciously trying to make the most enjoyable record imaginable. And their ability to mix pop-disco and e-transcendence and that sense of wide-eyed wonder without ever really coming over as twee or cloying or annoying. Whispers is my favourite single of this year by several light years.
What I love about them as remixers - they do what JLC *used* to do, which is to really understand the point of a song and just rearrange it to make it MORE so. The Grace Jones one is a case in point. The only side alley is the Friendly Fires one which takes the song in a different direction (mostly by replacing the vocal) but still somehow manages to keep the evocative feel of the original. The Cut Copy one is possibly the only one that doesn't quite work as well possibly because the original is going for a very similar vibe.

i think these guys are great, but i find it very difficult to articulate why. it's too easy to lob "80s" in their direction or like, happy-sad disco-pop. "aeroplane"/"caramellas" is a must if you have not heard it. their second single is "pacific air race", which is not as good, but still worth checking. and "whispers" (the third single) is great, but i like the h&la rmx the best. out of the remixes i think i would list my favorites as: cobra dukes, grace jones, shortwave set, low motion disco, lullabies in the dark, allez allez. i would love to hear an aeroplane rmx of h&la or of "west end girls" where they just looped the intro synths for 10 minutes.
xp, i can't believe i forgot about coyote. um, that's somewhere near the top of my list.

They are playing at Matter on Saturday, and I can't make it. Gah. I *really* want to see them live.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 11 December 2008 17:06 (fifteen years ago) link
producers of the year by a country mile, although dj international mag picking 'caramellas' as tune-of-the-year was a bit o_O. unlike tricky my favourite of their own tracks is 'pacific air race'. the key change has me welling up. favourite remixes are 1. low motion disco, 2. coyote and 3. grace jones. can't get into 'whispers' as much as everyone seems to have, just ain't feeling the vocal. and i have tried. the friendly fires remix is good but the justus kohncke one kills all.

"They are playing at Matter on Saturday, and I can't make it. Gah. I *really* want to see them live."
They are great, although mostly in the "yes it's really cool to hear ten Aeroplane productions in a DJ mix with everyone cheering each time" sense. But they choose appropriate stuff to go with it - when I saw them they dropped Tensnake remixing Sally Shapiro, Mungolian Jet Set remixing They Came From The Stars, I Saw Them etc. It was like the last outpost of maximal melodic dance. A very large, all-enveloping sound.
Best bit (and I'm repeating myself from the balearic thread but whatevs) was when one of them started to mix in Robin S's "Show Me Love", didn't get much of a reaction of recognition from the crowd as the bassline dropped (myself excluded), and looked at the crowd with confusion, consternation and something close to disgust.
"And their ability to mix pop-disco and e-transcendence and that sense of wide-eyed wonder without ever really coming over as twee or cloying or annoying. "
I think this is an excellent description of what they do. In many ways they're closer to a Ewan Pearson than a JLC, except that the JLC comparison works because with both Aeroplane 2008 and JLC 2005 there's this sense of expecting to get over the largesse of his emotionalism by the time the next remix comes around, only to be helplessly overcome once again. It seems unbelievable that Producers/Remixers could walk that tightrope of wonder/tweeness so long and so successfully.

Lindstrom & Solale : ‘Baby I Can’t Stop’ - Aeroplane Mix (Feedelity promo)
― ohhhh we pop champagne (deej), Thursday, 11 December 2008 23:06 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm only just now listening to Pacific Air Race for the first time. It rules, far more tracky and dancefloor-orientated than a lot of their other material, reminds me a bit of that Lullabies In The Dark record with the number that I can't be bothered to Google.
It strikes me that they're going under the radar a bit despite having remixed everything that wasn't nailed down over the last year or so. If they can keep up this workrate next year there's a lot to look forward to. And an album as well, right?

For some reason I didn't like the RA mix on first listen, but love it now. I think the MGMT one is the best I've heard, I think, as it transforms the original.

Actually, no it isn't. It's a mix called Take Off. I thought someone had just mislabelled it, but the second track on this one is Soft Rocks "Midnight Drive" or the song that that is an edit of.
Actually, just found a tracklist:
01. Château Flight : “GRN Aventurine” (Sonar Kollektiv)02. Soft Rocks : “Look East” (Soft Rocks)03. Enzo Ponzio : ” Italian Boy” (Pizzico)04. Discossesion : “Mahmoods Moon” (Crue-l Future)05. Peter Visti : “Tokyo By Night” (Eskimo promo)06. Toby Tobias Feat. Kathy Diamond : “The Feeling” (Rekids promo)07. Late Of The Pier : “The Bears Are Coming” - BTWS remix (Zarcorp)08. Jose Gonzales : “Killing For Love” - Todd Terje mix (promo)09. Lullabies In The Dark : “Song for M&E” - Aeroplane mix (Permanent Vacation)10. 40 Thieves : ” Theme From Nutrider” (Permanent Vacation promo)11. Hess Is More : “Would You Like to Disco” - Dub (Music For Dreams)12. Louis : “Pink Foothpath” - Instrumental Version (Max Music)
(I think they've mixed up the sides on that Soft Rocks record, though)
