Flight Facilities Down To Earth Afterparty @ Jewel’s Catch One

Flight Facilities (DJ set)

Secret identities, aeronautical puns, mixtapes and releasing music in single format is what we know of Flight Facilities so far. Releasing 6 original tracks to date, ‘Crave you’, ‘Foreign Language’ ‘With You’, ‘Clair De Lune’ I Didn’t Believe & most recently the uptempo ‘Stand Still.’ The only similarity drawn from all Flight Facilities tracks is that each features a very talented guest: Giselle Roselli, Jessica Higgs, Rob Smoughton aka Grovesnor and Christine Hoberg, Elizabeth Rose & Micky Green.

While Flight Facilities don’t like to be pigeonholed by genre, they are vocal about their influences. They have drawn inspiration from acts, past and present, such as ELO, Jamiroquai, Daft Punk, Chic, Mylo and more.

Their YouTube page already has over 25 million views,. The first video is the New York-shot ‘Crave You’ directed by Moopjaw (Golden Filter, Neon Indian, Peaches), featuring the styling of Christian Joy (Yeah Yeah Yeah’s / Karen O’s costume designer). Flight Facilities’ second single brings fans to a Hawaii 5-0-esque throwback by French director, Dimitri Basil, shot amongst some of Sydney’s most iconic landmarks and venues. The animation for “With You” combines Astroboy, Megaman and Daft Punk-inspired anime from young animator Benjamin Drake (also known for his animated work with Gotye), and most recently, Flight Facilities worked with Foals main videographer Dave Ma to shoot the almost-8-minute short film for ‘Clair De Lune’ & ‘Stand Still; both shot in California.

Production wise, Flight Facilities are slowly building a reputation for delivery on every remix. With a selective approach to their remixes, they have tastefully retouched the likes of Jagwar Ma, Holy Ghost!, Cut Copy, Foals, The C90s, Miike Snow, Bag Raiders, The Lowbrows, Sneaky Sound System and Toecutter. In late 2012 they tackled 4 decades of music and historical moments through four one hour mixtapes. Chronologically placing everything in order of release and time of event.. Mixmag called it ‘one of the most ambitious mix series of all time,”

The journey is only just beginning; sit back, relax and enjoy your flight.

Daniel T. of Cosmic Kids

Ron Poznansky and Daniel Terndrup met in a high school classroom specially designed for kids who have trouble paying attention to boring stuff. They immediately joined forces in the pursuit of adventure, hiking through the Santa Monica Mountains to collect top secret data on benevolent wildlife, mycological oddities and abandoned earth stations. They soon parlayed their overactive minds into making music, drawing inspiration from post punk, house, funk and the vast cosmos. Their remix roll-call includes Holy Ghost!, The Rapture, Poolside, JOTS, Princeton, Superhumanoids, Harvard Bass, and many more. They currently have a single out on “Throne of Blood” which received praise from Resident Advisor and XLR8R, and radio play on KCRW, WXPN, and BBC Radio 1. Ron and Dan are always working on tons of cool stuff, so expect new remixes, and a full EP in the near future.

Cooper Saver

Cooper has been an avid music collector all his life and helps curate regular club nights in the LA area where he often DJs with both local and international guests. In his spare time Cooper likes writing his own music and spending time collaborating creatively with like-minded individuals of the cities he loves.

Favorite Fruit: I live my life akin to a cornucopia – bursting with seasonal treats that can be used both for practical reasons and for ornamentation. Although the pineapple has become the symbol of my work, a literal representation of my crazed hair to my long neck and childbearing hips, the pineapple has never been my go-to. I always fancied myself more of a papaya girl. Why? Who the hell knows.

Me & FruitFlyLife: As editor and founder of FruitFlyLife, my existence is driven by a need to understand the pop idiom by way of the underground, and to realize this understanding through fruitful collaborations. I never stop consuming, writing or talking about culture and the ways in which we thrive within contemporary culture. This is my obsession, my drug..and FruitFlyLife is the realization of this lifetime of passion.
