RUFUS DU SOL – Always Hustle

Flight Facilities Drop Remix Pack for ‘Lights Up’ and Announce USA Tour with RÜFÜS DU SOL

July 16, 2021July 16, 2021Rex Anderson

Australian producer duo and live act Flight Facilities return with a loaded remix package of their two most recent releases, ‘The Ghost’ and ‘Lights Up ft. Channel Tres’. The remix package sees five unique voices from the global electronic music scene put their own spins on the originals.

An industry driving force since 2010, Flight Facilities has thrilled their fans by ramping up new releases this year. Their first single of the year ‘Lights Up,’ featured West Coast selector Channel Tres, and sits at over two million cumulative streams and climbing. The ‘Lights Up’ remix package sees the track get a makeover from three international tastemakers.

‘The Ghost’ is another reminder of Flight Facilities’ ability to effortlessly pull inspiration from a wide range of musical genres while still making it recognizable as their own. The darker, heavily synthesized record lends itself to grittier reworks, released July 9, allowing Gerd Janson, Running Back label boss and one of Germany’s best and most versatile producers; and ABSOLUTE., a formidable name from the queer club scene that stepped out of the London underground in the past few years, to add their signature touches.

Gerd Janson’s seven minute rendition of ‘The Ghost’ sees him jack up the tempo as he transforms the track into a club-ready groove that demonstrates his widely-known mixing expertise, while ABSOLUTE. makes ‘The Ghost’ his own as he incorporates breaks with prominent 303 bass lines, transporting us back to the early days of the UK rave scene.

Three forthcoming sold out performances alongside RÜFÜS DU SOL at Los Angeles’ Banc of California this November plus a slew of US tour dates with the trio keep fans guessing whether they’ll be graced with more new Flight Facilities hits in 2021. Luckily, the abundant remix package acts as a welcomed indicator of the caliber and tone of music they may be able to expect as Flight Facilities return to the international stage.

‘The Ghost’ remixes are available on the usual spots here, ‘Lights Up ft. Channel Tres’ remixes available here

Colyn’s ‘Bridges In The Sky’ is Melodic Mastery

February 20, 2021February 20, 2021Rex Anderson

Melodic savant Colyn has been tapped once again by RÜFÜS DU SOL to forge his next introspective body of work for their now globally renowned Rose Avenue. The resulting ‘Bridges In The Sky’—a polished, double-sided composition—arrives today, serving as an idyllic opener to 2021 for the Dutch producer.

‘Bridges In The Sky’ exudes a sense of tenderness and cohesion. Its eponymous A-side features subdued, emotive analog chords that float over subtle licks of percussion. Colyn’s brother and frequent collaborator, Maurijts Colijn ties everything together, providing breathy vocals to complement the instrumentation, adding buoyancy to the finished product. “Caroussel” picks up where “Bridges In The Sky” left off, opening with a similar rhythm in its synths. Though more dynamically pronounced than its predecessor, the EP closer is softened by its piano accents and ethereal breakdown.

“‘Bridges In The Sky’ represents a hopeful look into the future. It has obviously been a really difficult year for all of us and with Bridges In The Sky I wanted to tell a story of opportunity, the story of recovery, and looking up. I am really happy with how the airy vocals and the emotional, yet uplifting synths, have come together. ‘Caroussel’ is a bit more of a deeper cut that slowly transforms from a more timid groove, towards a more melodic euphoric journey. Definitely a track that has been working well for me during the few opportunities I have had to play my music live in the last year. I think Rose Avenue is the perfect home for these two tracks, as they fit their philosophy and I love to work with their amazing team. So definitely a shout out to the boys from RÜFÜS DU SOL and the team that’s working on all things Rose Avenue.”
Colyn

With a decade of experience under his belt, Colyn is poised to take on a leading mantle in the melodic space. He enjoys constant support from an array of industry bellwethers, including Joris Voorn, Solomun, Artbat, Bedouin, Adriatique, Lane 8 and of course, Tale of Us—who fueled his break with constant play in their sets before signing him onto Afterlife for several releases. His distinctive live performances have landed him gigs at top venues spanning from São Paulo to Belgium for his first Tomorrowland set.

Colyn’s ear for forward-thinking electronic music caught the attention of RÜFÜS DU SOL in 2020, who promptly brought him into Rose Avenue family for his lauded ‘Concepts Of Love’ EP. His dedication to pushing the envelope in the melodic space that he sits in aligns with the label’s ethos, mirrored in fellow signees Township Rebellion, Cassian, and Yotto, to name a few. ‘Bridges In The Sky’ is yet another bold chapter of the collective’s ever-evolving story, setting the tone for a strong 2021.

Lastlings Debuts Track On RÜFÜS DU SOL’s New Label Rose Avenue Records

November 16, 2018Rex Anderson

The Australian brother-sister duo is back after almost a year of no releases, boasting a groundbreaking track titled ‘Deja Vu’ as their first release on RÜFÜS DU SOL’s new label Rose Avenue Records. It’s a track that will have you in a mental spin once you leave it on shuffle, trancing yourself into a true deja vu as its syths and layers take you into a deep whirlwind of emotions. A new and mystical dance floor anthem that is sure to kick up some dust and take dancefloors deep into the night.

The duo made up of both Amy and Josh lays out a new sound that they have been working on with Josh on synths and drums, while Amy calls out with deep and soothing vocals, best described by themselves saying:

“DEJA VU, is the first offering from our next project. The song is, for us, a new sound. A sound we have been working towards for over a year now. We’re fine tuning ideas every day, discovering more about ourselves & our music every time we step into the world we have been creating. DEJA VU is especially important to us as what feels like the beginning of a new chapter for LASTLINGS.” – Amy & Josh

This comes after a stretch of no releases from them, but boasts a notion that their time away has proven productive and a bright future ahead of them in the coming months and year. This is largely due to catching the attention of RÜFÜS DU SOL. The trio, recently starting their label ‘Rose Avenue Records,’ with the goal of giving the undiscovered and rising stars of the indie electronic world a platform to be heard, met with Lastlings and automatically connected with their emotion and sound. Lastlings has spent some time recording and writing with them in their Venice studio on Rose Avenue, giving us hope of more to come from them on the label.

RÜFÜS DU SOL on teaming up with Lastlings: “Taste is such a funny thing, when you find people who share your love of particular music it bonds you instantly, you don’t need anything else in common. We had that moment when we met Amy and Josh last year. They played us some of their new music they’d been writing and we were in. At that point we didn’t even have a label set up, we just knew we wanted to be a part of what they were working on and try to share the feeling their music evokes us with as many people as possible.”
