Live Review: Flight Facilities unveil remix package for 'Lights Up' & 'The Ghost' featuring Honey Dijon and Gerd Janson

ARIA award winning duo Flight Facilities return with a loaded remix package of their two most recent releases, “The Ghost” and “Lights Up” feat. Channel Tres. The remix package features some of the biggest names in global electronic music space put their own touch on the already near perfect originals. The remixes have been created by Honey Dijon, Gerd Janson, Myd, ABSOLUTE. and Mousse T.

The original of ‘Lights Up’ perfectly toes the line between 90s Detroit house and West-Coast hip hop. A ramming bass line, sexy ASMR like vocal delivery, and those god damn slick keys combine to create an undisputed dance floor filler. The single today's received a makeover from queen of the underground Honey Dijon, Paris Based, Ed Banger records producer Myd and German house pioneer, Mousse T.

On 'The Ghost', Gerd Janson has given the gritty record an uplifting makeover, lifting the tracks BPM into a club ready groove. ABSOLUTE. takes it into their own direction, providing a journey like, orchestral version of the track. It evolves into driving techno, bringing together the best parts of the original and his own knowledge in String Theory.

On 'The Ghost' remixes, Flight Facilities note, “In 2017 we slipped an unknown track into our Boiler Room show. Needless to say we were blown away by the amount of questions that came back after. 'The Ghost' was born and quickly a staple in all of our shows. Who could we trust to remix such a track you ask? None other than the greats Gerd Janson and ABSOLUTE. We’ve been fan boys of Gerd’s label and DJ sets for years so it's a huge honour to have him turn the track into disco floor filler. ABSOLUTE. has been on fire of late, his mixtape earlier this year was reason enough to ask him to remix this one, it's one of the best of 2021.”
