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

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

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.

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

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:

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

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:

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:

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.

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:

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

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?

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.

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

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
