Aeroplane

Lush, slow-motion disco that feels like a permanent sunset. Warm analog synths and melancholic piano lines for rooftop parties and coastal drives.

Intro

Aeroplane crafts a sound that is essentially the sonic equivalent of the golden hour. It is disco, but slowed down to a luxurious, Balearic crawl that prioritizes atmosphere and melody over raw club aggression. The music feels expensive and sun-drenched, characterized by shimmering synth pads, crisp percussion, and a certain European sophistication that bridges the gap between a French house party and a lonely Mediterranean beach.

What sets Aeroplane apart is the deep vein of melancholy running through the grooves. While the rhythms are designed for movement, the harmonic choices and frequent use of emotive piano often evoke a sense of longing or nostalgia. It is 'cosmic disco' that feels grounded in human emotion, utilizing spacious production techniques to make every synth swell and vocal hook feel like a significant event.

For the uninitiated, the debut album 'We Can't Fly' is the definitive starting point. It perfectly encapsulates the project's transition from club-focused remixes to a fully realized, cinematic pop vision. It is the ideal soundtrack for moments that require both a pulse and a sense of grace.

Vito de Luca, better known as Aeroplane, is a Belgian nu disco music producer and DJ. Known for incorporating a mix of French house and balearic beat, Aeroplane made a name for himself as a club DJ. Aeroplane's music is disco-styled, often on the 1980s decade. Aeroplane's remixes are described by themselves as "spacious cosmic disco" tracks. Formerly Aeroplane was a duo, consisting of Vito de Luca and Stephen Fasano (currently known as The Magician), who left in 2010.
