We have been looking forward to this Saturday night for quite some time. Why you ask? Oh, you didn't ask? Well I'm going to tell you anyway. Our favorite DJ duo from down under will be playing our favorite place for dance parties in DC. That's right, Flight Facilities will be hitting the decks at U-Street Music Hall this Saturday, October 20th. To say that we are excited would be quite an understatement. This show will be their third stop on their fourteen show "Frequently Flying" tour. We will be giving away a pair of tickets to this sure to be EPIC dance party to one lucky reader. Details on how to enter are at the bottom of this post.Flight Facilities is made up of Australian DJ/Producers Hugo Gruzman and Jimmy Lyell. The name (and logo) came from an old Australian airline that Hugo's grandfather started. FF burst onto the scene in 2010 with their debut single "Crave You" featuring Giselle. While this track helped the duo gain exposure and airtime, it wasn't until the release of their second single "Foreign Languages" featuring Jess, in 2011, that they really solidified themselves as producers. This past May they released another single, titled "With You" featuring Grovesnor. Also, Flight Facilities recently announced they will be releasing another single, "Clair De Lune" featuring Christine Hoberg on October 30. In addition to these original tracks, they have done remixes for the likes of Cut Copy, Bag Raiders, Holy Ghost, Sneaky Soundsystem, The C90's and others.
After the jump...
While these originals and remixes showcase their talent as producers, its their mixes that really show you what they can do as DJs. After hearing Maiden Voyage Mixtape and Mid-Flight Mixtape for the first time, I knew these guys were the real deal. One of my top five favorite mixes of all time is their 37,000 feet Mixtape. Not only are the songs they spin superb and unique, but so is the way that they seamlessly meld them together. They put a lot of time, thought, and effort into each mix, and for this reason, they generally only put out a couple per year. That is, up until now.
After waiting months and months for them to drop a new mixtape, Flight Facilities announced they would be releasing FOUR, all in the month of October! They are being featured as October residents on Triple J Mix-up Exclusives . This means that each Saturday of this month, Triple J is airing new, hour long Flight Facilities mixes. These aren't just any old mixes of random tracks squeezed into an hour time slot either. After all, this is Flight Facilities that we are talking about here. Due in part to the popularity of their Paris Social Club - 70s DJ Set, they decided each mix would be dedicated to one of the past 4 decades. Furthermore, the songs are placed chronologically in the order they came out. That's not all. Hugo and Jimmy took this process to another level completely and added in samples of news clips and pop culture from each decade throughout the mixes. The final products turned out more like musical and historical timelines than mix tapes. Read more about the level of detail that went into this process HERE.Each mix is available to stream for a week after it airs on Triple J's website (Week 2, 1982-1992 currently available to stream, see below). Flight Facilities has also said they will make these mixes available for download in the coming months.
