Today, ARIA award winning duo Flight Facilities return with a loaded remix package of their two most recent releases, “The Ghost” and “Lights Up” feat. Channel Tres. The remix package sees five unique voices from the global electronic music scene put their own spins on the originals, including Honey Dijon, Gerd Janson, Myd, ABSOLUTE. and Mousse T..

Since launching onto the scene back in 2010, Flight Facilities returned in 2021 to delight fans globally with their first single of the year, “Lights Up” featuring West Coast selector Channel Tres. Now sitting at over four million cumulative streams and climbing, today the single receives a makeover from three international tastemakers. Queen of the underground and renowned performer Honey Dijon lets Channel Tres’ vocals shine as she serves up her minimal, piano-forward heater, while Paris-based Ed Banger Records producer Myd drenches it in his recognisable French-touch style. Lastly German house pioneer and mastermind behind tracks like “Horny 98” and “Sex Bomb”,  Mousse T., arrives with a double offering, sharing two dance-floor ready grooves.

Myd remarks, “I love the original so much that I didn’t want to transform the song too much, I’m the weird and funny neighbour who joins the party because he heard music upstairs ! Thanks for letting me in, guys!”

Mousse T. adds, “When I got the remix request it was a no brainer…I knew instantly I had to do something funky. My main mix is a beautiful piece of boogie consisting of a monster bassline and some 80s funk keys. While I was at it I also came up with a solid club mix which is a bit more stripped down and sped up… of course with a dope bassline too.”

“The Ghost” is another reminder of Flight Facilities’ ability to effortlessly pull inspiration from a wide range of musical genres while still making it evidently their own. The darker, heavily synthesised record lends itself to grittier reworks, allowing Gerd Janson, Running Back label boss and one of Germany’s best and most versatile producers; and ABSOLUTE., a formidable name from the queer club scene that stepped out of the London underground in the past few years, to add their signature touches.

On “The Ghost” remixes, Flight Facilities note, “In 2017 we slipped an unknown track into our Boiler Room show. Needless to say we were blown away by the amount of questions that came back after. ‘The Ghost’ was born and quickly a staple in all of our shows. Who could we trust to remix such a track you ask? None other than the greats Gerd Janson and ABSOLUTE. We’ve been fan boys of Gerd’s label and DJ sets for years so it’s a huge honour to have him turn the track into disco floor filler. ABSOLUTE. has been on fire of late, his mixtape earlier this year was reason enough to ask him to remix this one, it’s one of the best of 2021.”

Gerd Janson’s seven minute rendition of “The Ghost” sees him jack up the tempo as he transforms the track into a club-ready groove that demonstrates his widely-known mixing expertise, while ABSOLUTE. incorporates breaks with prominent 303 bass lines, transporting us back to the early days of the UK rave scene. Janson adds, “It would have been a sacrilege not to remix ‘The Ghost’. Flight Facilities‘ original has an almost irresistible vocoder vocal hook that seemed perfect for a dance-floor rod. It just needed some kick-snare and a choir…et voila!”

ABSOLUTE. comments, “It was such a pleasure to work on this remix as I’ve loved Flight Facilities and Future Classic forever. I wanted it to feel like an epic journey and for it to end in a completely different place to where it starts. I wrote this just after working on String Theory, towards the end of 2019 so I was experimenting a lot with orchestral sounds. I knew I wanted it to start with big dramatic strings and breaks then evolve into driving techno, while showcasing the best parts of the amazing original.”

The recent worldwide audio-visual event, NEVER FOREVER offered Flight Facilities fans a one-time opportunity to hear unreleased music, demos & edits as part of an hour long journey. Next, the duo prepare to bring their live show spectacle to For The Love in the Gold Coast, Perth and Melbourne, before heading to Darwin Festival in August, New Zealand’s Snow Machine Festival in September and a trip to the US to perform alongside RÜFÜS DU SOL at in November.

As they continue to keep the world guessing on whether more new Flight Facilities hits will grace speakers in 2021, today’s abundant remix package is a welcomed indicator of the duo’s caliber and tone of music that continues to be adored by fans everywhere.
