  Flight Facilities

  Australia's Flight Facilities are an electronic music production duo featuring the talents of Hugo Gruzman and James Lyell. They broke through with their 2010 single "Crave You" before hitting number three on the ARIA Albums chart with their 2014 full-length Down to Earth. The pair have continued to release tracks like 2017's "Arty Boy" with Emma Louise, 2018's "Need You" with Nika, and 2021's "Lights Up" with Channel Tres. They returned to the ARIA Top Ten with their second studio album, 2021's Forever, followed by 2021's Lost Forever EP, and several collaborations with Owl Eyes in 2024. Formed in Sydney in 2009, Flight Facilities first gained notice for such singles as 2010's "Crave You" featuring Giselle Rosselli and 2011's J Award-winning "Foreign Language" with Jess Higgs. They garnered even more attention in 2013 with appearances at SXSW in Austin and Australia's Falls Festival. In 2014, Flight Facilities performed at Coachella in Palm Springs and released their debut full-length album, Down to Earth, which reached number three on the ARIA Albums chart and eventually went gold. In December 2015, the duo released Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, documenting their ambitious symphonic concert from earlier that year. Flight Facilities returned in 2017 with the singles "Arty Boy" featuring Emma Louise and "Stranded," a collaboration with Broods, Reggie Watts, and Saro. Two more non-album singles arrived in 2018 with the Nika collaboration "Need You" and "All Your Love" featuring Dustin Tebbutt. Flight Facilities next cracked the Top 100 in Australia with 2019's "Better Than Ever" featuring Aloe Blacc, and paired with Channel Tres for 2021's "Lights Up." The latter appeared on the full-length Forever, which also included guests such as Your Smith and Drama. The album reached number six in Australia where it also took home the AIR Award for Best Independent Dance or Electronica Album or EP. Following the 2022 companion EP, Lost Forever, they delivered several standalone collaborations with Owl Eyes in 2024, including "Trouble" and "Day of the Weeks." ~ Matt Collar

  Todd Terje

  Underpinned by a string of celebrated releases and must-see live performances leaning on everything from kitschy lounge music to disco, deep funk and latin jazz, Todd Terje has over the past decade+ become something of a cult figure within and beyond dance music circuits.

  Dubbed the "king of the summer jams" by Mixmag, listed at #17 in the Rolling Stone magazine list of "The 25 DJs That Rule the Earth" and lauded as "one-third of the Holy Trinity of Norwegian disco" by Spin magazine, Todd Terje first made his name with a string of remixes and edits in the mid-2000s that had the electronic music world anxiously anticipating the 2014 release of his debut album appropriately titled It's Album Time. Featuring favorites such as "Strandbar" and "Inspector Norse," the album was widely celebrated by critics and earned a Best New Music nod from Pitchfork who wrote, "Terje is a careful artist that's fluent in history, an expert with texture, and possessing a grasp on composition more akin to a 1960s film composer than a contemporary dance producer."

  Whether as a one-man DJ act or a live band, Terje went on to build a robust career as a live touring musician bouncing from clubs to performances at the prestigious Sonar festival in Barcelona which he headlined to performing at Coachella where he brought out Bryan Ferry for a rendition of their reimagined "Johnny and Mary" cover of Robert Palmer's original. While his own output of new music has slowed in recent years, that could be changing soon.
