Australian Production Duo Flight Facilities Share Summer Anthem “Lights Up” Feat. Channel Tres
Hugo Gruzman and Jimmy Lyell, the pair that make up Australian production duo Flight Facilities were inspired by the earlier days of house, spanning back the ’80s and ’90’s Detroit scene for their latest summer anthem “Lights Up”. Bringing along West Coast hip-hop artist Channel Tres to round out the summertime track, the new song is an irresistible and dynamic cut that is supported by its timeless groove and breezy energy.
Speaking about the track and their collaboration with Channel Tres, Flight Facilities add, “We’ve always loved the sound of the early Detroit House scene that crossed over with the Paradise Garage era. Combined with our love for Channel’s voice, it seemed like a perfect fit. His voice has a magical ability to make songs that are made for strutting. We felt it was important to keep enough of our sound and influence in the track, to avoid it sounding too derivative, so we wanted to include some 90’s and 00’s elements to give the song its own character.”
Cruising over a soul-derived bass line, Channel Tres cooly raps with a smooth flow as crisp as iced tea. The crowd-pumping four-to-the-floor beat keeps things steady and charming, as Flight Facilities do what they do best on their latest cut.
