In something altogether less ranty than the previous post, (Robot officially 'went off on one') here is something more listenable and all-round more good natured. A new mixtape from amazing Belgium remix-types Aeroplane. In our eyes, their finest moment was with their incredible mix of Friendly Fires' super-sexy 'Paris'. Robot done 'it' with someone listening to it once. It was quite nice.Minds out of the gutter, ears in to the music: this Aeroplane mixtape is bloody brilliant and packed full of people WE HAVE NOT HEARD BEFORE*. It could therefore have served as a starting block for us to introduce ten incredible tracks to you one by one - but ten songs are better than one (as granny used to say). She didn't, she just used to bang on the window and yell at the kids on the grass outside :(
Here is the tracklisting:
Golden Bug 'Flamingo'
On The Prowl Presents OTP Party Breaks #1 'Lifetime Groove'
Black Van 'Yearning'
Bottin & Rodion 'Galli (Give It Up)'
Hannulelauri 'Injury Time'
The Holidays 'Moonllight Hours' (The Swiss Remix)
Burns 'So Many Nights'
Slice & Soda 'Year Of The Dragon' (Villa Remix)
DyE 'Nike'
Fern Kinney 'Baby Let Me Kiss You'
Aeroplane 'February Mixtape'
It's basically a brilliant collection of retro eighties and eighties-inspired tracks which show exactly where Aeroplane take their amazingly warm sound from. Don't let the likes of La Roux fool you - the eighties wasn't all harsh, ice-cold electro, there was a good deal of soulful, uplifting pop music to be heard as well. Highlights are: On The Prowl Presents OTP Party Breaks #1 'Lifetime Groove' for it's Goddamn soulfulness, The Holidays 'Moonllight Hours' (The Swiss Remix) for it's choruses and Slice & Soda'Year Of The Dragon' (Villa Remix) for the big violin bit running all the way through it. All thoroughly bloody marvellous.
*This is a lie as we have mentioned Burns before. We just didn't want to seem like know it all. We know a lot, just not 'it all'.
Here is the Aeroplane MySpace. FYI.
