delightful disco provided by Aeroplane in their "Late July Mix"
available from their Soundcloud page. Opening with a warm bass line
followed by a reminiscent of a Chic production, the mix begins with an
instrumental version of "Games People Play" by Sweet G which is close to
30 years old yet still works wonderfully today. The mix is laden with
funky guitar riffs, sing along vocals and at times shares some
similarities with acid house.
The highlight of the mix is personally four tunes in, with Grum's remix
of "My Kz Ur Bf" by indie band Everything Everything which will almost
certainly play an integral role in my next sub 120bpm mix. The way Grum
alters the rhythm of the vocal in the verses is exquisite and complex, turning the tune from what for me is a run of the mill indie track and creating a poppy dance floor filler.
The mix continues the route through gay arpeggios and flamboyance that Aeroplane have become renowned for. Their remix of Chromeo is a true example of the flamboyant nature the corny vocal style and 80s style sounds combined with the Aeroplane production works to create a full on dance around your man bags tune. The mix progresses nicely through to the epic Prins Thomas and Lindstrom remix of the new Chemical Brothers’ track “Swoon” not long after and you are transported back to the early 80s where the mix began as Yoko Ono sings us out of a thoroughly enjoyable how of aural entertainment.
