Flight Facilities Release a Beautiful New Single – ‘Clair De Lune’ (feat. Christine Hoberg)

Posted by Jasmine McGee ⋅ November 5, 2012 ⋅ 1 Comment

After the release of “With You” by Flight Facilities featuring Grosvenor, I had been anxiously awaiting the next release from FF. I was curious if it was going to be a melodic house track or perhaps some fancy nu-disco production, but to my surprise, the new single is a beautiful, electronically melodic, 8-minute track called “Clair De Lune.”

“Claire De Lune” is a lovely track that lets the angelic vocals of Christine Hoberg shine, and the production is nothing but the best; Flight Facilities never disappoints.

The song is perfect for closing your eyes and getting lost in a storybook animation. Not sure about you, but that is what comes to mind. Beautiful whimsical animations of two characters journeying through a surrealism landscape. But one character, a man, is contemplating leaving the whimsical romanticism, and the other character, a woman, is pleading for them not to go. Amidst the cries…does he leave?

New Release | Flight Facilities Megatron/Astroboy Inspired Video – ‘With You’ ft. Grovesnor

Posted by Jasmine McGee ⋅ May 14, 2012 ⋅ 1 Comment

I’ve been waiting about two weeks for Flight Facilities to release their new song“With You” featuring Grovesnor.The duo gave us a teaser of the song and a short 30 second glimpse of an animated video reminiscent of Megatron, Daft Punk, and Astroboy. But the video just left fans (especially me) anxious to finally hear the full track; you can’t tease people with such a tantalizing sub bass.

Usually I don’t get overly excited about a track and it’s impending video release, but Flight Facilities never fails to amaze me. I’ve loved their high quality production skills which infuse hints of house, funk, and vibes of a little electropop. And their track “With You” featuring Grovesnor is oh so funky, yet still soulfully driven by that hint of house.

Not only is the track a delight, but the lyrics and video are pretty cool. Animator Ben Drake apparently spent almost four months working on the animation, which derives inspiration from Daft Punk, Astroboy, and Megatron. The video tells the story of a Cyborg that falls in love with a woman who is married (which is actually the wife of the scientist who created him,) and then the two must flee, going somewhere to get away because as the song says, “I just can’t be seen with you.”

If you’re a fan of Flight Facilities, then I’m sure you’ll love the video. Check out the official video below for “With You” featuring Grovesnor, as well as the following remixes: With You extended 12″, MAM remix , Danny Daze 5am Remix, and the David August Remix.

Epic Mixtape | Flight Facilities ’37,000 ft’ Mixtape [Free Download]

I’m dying to get my hands on Flight Facilities forthcoming track “With You” featuring Grovesnor. I watched the 30 second teaser for it, and I was just wishing I could speed up time to the May 14th release of the track on Future Classic Records. But in the meantime, I at least can rock out to perhaps one of the best mixtapes I’ve heard in quite some time, 37,000 ft.

Sometimes I wish I actually dated guys that believed in 80s romance and the art of making mixtapes. Of course, it’s not going to be an actual tape, but a cool CD is still nice here and there. I’ve actually made a few mixtapes for exes I’ve dated in the past, but I myself have never gotten one from anyone else. Yet, if anyone were ever going to give me a mixtape, I would honestly want it to be as epic as 37,ooo ft. The track listing is impeccable! If someone would have given me this mixtape at a gift, I would have probably fallen head over heels for them. I’m serious, this mixtape speaks to my soul!

The mixtape came out a little less than a year ago, but it’s still oh so timeless. If you haven’t noticed by now, this is like my 3rd or 4th time blogging about Flight Facilities. I’m a huge fan of Flight Facilities, and I always knew that there music taste was probably insane. So it’s nice to listen to 37,000 ft and get a sense of what inspires the duo to make epic tunes.

The mixtape does a nice job of bringing together electro pop, disco bravado, snazzy electro grooves, and that hint of pulsating house beats. The mixtape starts off with one of my favorite Talking Heads songs,”This Must Be The Place.”Following the first track, the mixtape is a non-stop show of just epic tunes that are essential to creating the perfect soundtrack of life.

Oh, and did I mention that this mixtape is a free download? Well, it is. So download it! Don’t miss out on the seamless mixing and snazzy tunes that will brighten up your day. This mixtape is a most for EDM lovers who enjoy disco, electro pop, dance, and hints of house. You need 37,000 ft in your life. I know I do.

Relativity | Lemâitre’s New EP

Posted by Jasmine McGee ⋅ January 11, 2012 ⋅ 5 Comments

If you love the sounds of Deadmau5, Daft Punk, Boys Noize, Justice (my favorite,) Flight Facilities, and Røyksopp, then you really ought to be dying with anticipation for the release of Lemâitre’s new EP Relativity.

Okay, perhaps not dying with anticipation (well, I am) but at least anxious to see whats on the new EP. The Norwegian indie-electronic duo has such a unique vibe to their music. Of course it has influences that could be compared to Daft Punk & Justice, but the aura is different. When I listen to their tracks, especially “Blue Shift,” I feel as if I’m floating on clouds and just zoning out to visions of colorful dreams, romance, and overall happiness. But then tracks like “Come Again” have this 80s electro-vibe, but then it also reminds of me of walking down a grungy street but wearing high fashion; a stark contrast.

Lemâitre has a lot of great tracks that have come out over the years, but their new track “The End” is proving to be a different treat. Different is good. Sometimes its bad, but in this situation it’s good. The track is different from their previous work, but I think fans will still like it (or not?) It all really depends on your musical taste and whether or not you want Lemâitre to keep doing the same thing which you’ve come to fall madly in love with, or try something innovative that you can still grow to love.

If “The End” is any indication the direction the new EP Relativity will take, then I’m anxious to download the new EP when it comes out on January 20th. It’s only 9 days away, so until then I’ll enjoy the exclusive free download of Lemâitre’s new single “The End.” You too can also enjoy this amazing new track. Click the download button the file below, or feel free to head over to Lemâitre’s official Facebook page & download it.

The track really picks up @ 1:00

Flight Facilities: I Crave You

Posted by Jasmine McGee ⋅ February 27, 2011 ⋅ 1 Comment

I don’t know much about Flight Facilities, but I know that I Crave You is a beautiful song and the lyrics are intoxicating. I heard this song a couple weeks ago on Music Choice’s Dance/Electronica channel and checked out the video last week.

After a few google searches, checking out their myspace page, and viewing the website, it seems this dj duo is known for working with Bag Raiders and Sneaky Sound System. If your a fan of both of those groups (I know I am!) then I’m sure you will find Flight Facilities to be up your musical alley.

Below are some lyrics of the song which I’m sure most girls can relate to. Well if not most girls, then I know that I can personally relate. Sometimes you have that guy you want so bad but he doesn’t seem to really notice. At the same time, it seems all the other men want you and you aren’t even interested. Some call it stubborn, but I say it’s a woman who knows what she wants. I mean of course if a guy just isn’t interested then don’t bother, but sometimes men are oblivious to the fact a woman likes them. I’ve had guys I’ve really liked but they never paid me attention, then one day we finally talked and come to find out they liked me but weren’t sure how I felt. I thought I was dropping some hints but I guess they weren’t obvious.

Whatever the case may be, we all have those moments in life when we crave something and want to make it a reality. It’s okay to crave something but don’t go getting all stalkerish and obessive. Keep that in mind and you wil be okay!

Check out the song and discover the musical delight of Flight Facilities. I’m not really feeling her outfit in the video, but it does add a quirky element to the tone.

Why can’t you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can’t I keep you safe as my own?
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
That boy’s got my heart in a silver cage
Why can’t you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I crave you
