Aeroplane been doing a lot of remixes recently. Some are great, some sound a little more confusing. But one thing they have and that is a distinctive mark. By paying a visit to the more obscure sounds of 80's balearic, they manage to always deliver something fresh, and thats what a remix should be about, something as much far away as possible from the original work.

A quick search "aeroplane remix" on the hype machine give us a lot of results, which seems to indicate these duo is reaching to a nice and solid fan base. I will leave some examples of their remixes bellow. I am currently in love with what they did to Friendly Fires ft Au Revoir Simone.

I once read this sentence in a Manic Street Preachers LP and still i think about it.

Recently I discovered an amazing track by Michael Shrieve, Kevin Shrieve and Klaus Schulze. A mixture of electronic and jazz music. I found out where Lindstrom is trying to go by listening to this 80's release. I still deeply admire Lindstrom's music. However his last LP is a clear homage to Transfer Blue Station.

The new mix from Max Essa. Wonderfull selection of the not so obvious disco and balearic gems. Like the tittle suggests, this one takes us in a journey, that starts in a calm and mellow way and evolves into this kinda of psychedelic funky party, filled with crescendos and epic celebration moments. Tracks like "Lady Midnight" will make the joy of any cosmic listener, (that lead synthesizer is just beautiful).
Thanks once again Max for showing such beauty to our ears. Keep that stuff coming please.

Last friday I had the luck to attend to the amazing gig Cut Copy gave here at Porto.
I felt they were a little bit tired, but their performance was excellent.
Watch a little medley i shot with my cell phone. Enjoy.
