Nothing excites me more than knowing that, on February 10th, I will be seeing Aeroplane AND Morgan Geist (aka Storm Queen) play in LA. The city’s already buzzin’ over this one. Aeroplane’s new remix of Storm Queen epitomizes the deep, dark sweaty warehouse vibes that they both bring to every dancefloor they take over + destroy. It’s the kind of track that has the whole crowd dancing around with that same FUCK YEAH look on their face. You know the one…you can actually see people mouthing the words “fuck yeah” once that dirty, rubbery bassline comes in.
Storm Queen – Look Right Through (Part I) is out today on Defected. If a remix package that includes Aeroplane, Dimitri from Paris and Jamie Jones doesn’t thrill your pants off then you should check your pulse…you may not be alive.
If your newest remix appears on the latest mixtapes from The Magician AND Aeroplane, then by golly, you must be doing something right. Maxxi Soundsystem’s remix of “Shopping Cart” by Parallel Dance Ensemble is doing double duty this month on both The Magician’s Magic Tape Nineteen and Aeroplane’s January 2012 Mix (if it’s any consolation, Danny Daze beat them both when he dropped this track on this guest mix back in November). This deep groover is getting some heavyweight love and deservedly so. Take a listen and feel that bassline ooze through your veins and pulsate throughout your entire body and you’ll know understand why guys like The Magician, Aeroplane and Danny Daze want you to hear this track.
For all those that love getting a tan in the winter, thongs thinner than dental floss, and glistening bootay reflected off the Mediterranean Sea, this mix tape is for you. By our very own Tropicool, this tape will put the funk back in your step and make your day sparkle brighter than a disco ball at Studio 54. There are tons of exclusives littered in this mix tape and all for your aural pleasure. Enjoi, and let the Tropo-funk warm your soul.
Mickey is no stranger to dance music. Hailing from Belgium, he has residency at the infamous Libertine Supersport, surrounded by legends such as The Magician, Mustang, and Aeroplane. He’s definitely a contributing factor to Belgium’s musical excellence. I have seen his sets, and for lack of better words, I have been absolutely blown away. If you’re one of the lucky few that happens to catch one, be prepared to loose control of your extremities and burn holes in the soles of your Chuck Taylor’s. The sound mixes golden elements from the past, then spices them up into a perfect groove & funk, Mickey style. Flavours tease the pallet consisting of a strong drum kick, bouncy chords, and precision production. He’s done remixes for the likes of Tyson, Beni, Headman, Punks Jump Up, and Housse De Racket.
Mickey has graced us with his newest single from smile recordings ‘Love For Sale’ ft. vocals from Monarchy. It’s quite magical to say the least. Give her a listen! Mickey feat. Monarchy “Love For Sale” by Smile Recordings
GDD :Where are you from & How has that influenced your music? How do you self-describe your musical style / taste? I’m from Belgium more precisely from Brussels. Its where my studio is. The city influences me by feeling good and at home at the same time. We have a large musical culture over here.
When it comes to my music, i always try to combine big liner notes and a groove full of percussion, synth’s, piano’s and strings. Sometimes i even play extra guitar riffs on top. The goal for me is to make it the way i want to hear it myself on the radio.
GDD: How does your equipment differ from your onstage gear to what you use in the studio? Very different! My studio gears are all instruments. On stage i’m playing live with Record Effects and 2 x CDJ 1000 & Mixing table.
GDD: Describe your perfect venue down, setting, and vibe down to the littlest detail. I really enjoy playing close to the sea, what happened to me a couple of weeks ago in Australia, the response of the people is completely different. After your finished you can refresh yourself in the water en get a cool beer on top! These kind of venues are rare in Europe, especially in Belgium.
GDD: How do you go about picking tracks you’d like to remix? Until now, it was always on request. But i need to chase more the tracks i like, i will try my luck in the coming weeks : )
GDD: What are your 5 favorite tracks play out right now? Miguel Migs – Tonight (Fingerman Re-Poke) Todd Terje – Snooze 4 Love (Original Mix) Jonas Rathsman – Tobago Maceo Plex – Falling (Original Mix) Azealia Banks -212
GDD: What are 5 artists we need to keep our ears open for? ( all from Belgium ). Safari Montevideo ATTari Mustang Great Mountain fire
GDD: What does the year of 2012 hold for the great Mickey? My new single featuring Monarchy on Smile Recordings, the release of some unreleased remixes and a bunch of new tracks and collaborations!
GDD: And finally, because everyone wants to know, when will we finally see ‘Punks jump Up – Mr Overtime (Mickey Remix)’? They promised that it will see the daylight in march 2012 … But ask to the Punks buddy’s yourself : )
Sylvain Dalido AKA Popular Computer knows a bit about priorities and sacrifice. When his parental duties summoned him in 2009, he decided to take a hiatus from music production after signing with French label Kitsuné, where he had already become an original Kitsuné artist and staff producer. After 2 years of focusing on being a Dad, Popular Computer is back in a big way with a full length album titled LiTE slated for release on Chilly Gonzalez + Housse De Racket‘s label, Schmooze. Although we’re heading into winter, this album will definitely bring in some summery jams through the clouds with support from Aeroplane, Russ Chimes, The C90s, and more.
Aeroplane is releasing his groundbreaking new “In Flight Entertainment” compilation today. To say that this compilation is chock full of exclusives would be a massive understatement considering that 100% of the tracks are exclusives. As expected, Vito has booked an All-Star lineup for the in flight entertainment: Poolside, Bxentric, Herr Styler, Drop Out Orchestra, Martin Dubka, Kris Menace, Kolombo, Riptide, Cosmonauts, Oliver, James Curd and Moonlight Matters. It’s tough to top that lineup for a compilation, especially when every track is an exclusive. The artist lineup may be stellar but the one track that really stands out for me is the exclusive from Aeroplane himself called “Save Me Now”. The vocal hook in this track is absolutely UNSTOPPABLE.
Do yourself a solid and check out Aeroplane’s Facebook note HERE which lists the various links for the 2 Vinyl Samplers, the mixed CD and also the individual MP3s. Grab the vinyl, grab the mix, grab each individual track and TREAT YO SELF!
So far, early in his career, Moon Boots is 2 for 2. Perfect completion percentage, 1.000% batting average or 100% field goal percentage…however you look at it, Moon Boots hasn’t missed. First it was the Kenny Loggins sampling “Gopher It”, which made its way onto The Magician’s Magic Tape Thirteen. And now Moon Boots follows up with “Off My Mind”, a new track destined to be a massive hit. The track made its exclusive debut on my FallGaze 2011 Mix last month and today you can hear the full version in all of its glory. One listen to the track and you’re guaranteed to get hooked. Aeroplane put out a new mixtape yesterday, which also included “Off My Mind”. So Moon Boots’ first track made its way onto The Magician’s monthly mixtape series and his second track makes its way onto Aeroplane’s monthly mixtape series…not bad Mr. Moon Boots, not bad.
Take a listen to the original of “Off My Mind” below (coming soon on French Express) and get a FREE DOWNLOAD of the Chicago housed-up remix by Rogue Vogue. HUUUUUGE!
