Aeroplane - Superstar (The Krays Remix)


Aeroplane has been creeping up on my radar for a while now. They provide a unique view from above. And this remix from The Krays sharpens that view just a bit more. The Krays is a collaboration between french DJ superstars Yuksek and Brodinski. Yuksek has made appearances on the most definitely. Brodinski, however, has not. This tune is solid. It's got some legs and it takes its time getting to where it needs to be. When those keys come in at the 1:32 mark, it all makes sense. Get into it.

Here's a little history lesson for you: The Krays were the foremost perpetrators of organized crime in London's East End during the 1950s and 1960s. Ronald, commonly referred to as Ron or Ronnie, suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. The Krays were involved in armed robberies, arson, protection rackets, violent assaults including torture and the murders of Jack "The Hat" McVitie and George Cornell. As West End nightclub owners, they mixed with prominent entertainers including Diana Dors, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland and politicians. The Krays were highly feared within their social environment, and in the 1960s they became celebrities in their own right being photographed by David Bailey and interviewed on television.

Au Revoir Simone - Likely Story (Aeroplane Remix)



3 chicks from Williamsburg. So hip it makes my pants tight. Not in the dirty way. The guitar riff reminds me of some 80's Blondie type stuff, but I can't seem to place it. Regardless, it's simple and good.

Aeroplane - We Can't Fly


I'm not sure where to begin here. I've never quite heard anything like this before. Electro-Reggae? That's what it is I guess. If Toots & Daft Punk had a baby, it would be Aeroplane. With some soul sisters in the background. Whatever you want to call it, it's good. It's good for right now. Beach parties, boat parties, slip n slide parties. Anything that involves bathing suits and bikinis. I'm into it.
