Famed for their much-loved mixes, chock full of wonderfully sleazy disco house and an abundance of first rate remixes, Belgian duo Aeroplane were riding high when invited by “a panel of industry experts” – or perhaps just Pete Tong – to be Radio One’s 500th Essential Mix DJs. Strange then that at this stage they should choose to split…. or maybe not. For since then, Vito DeLuca – who retained the name – has been doing his best to make it look like he’s simply shed some excess baggage. Claiming that he “wrote and played every instrument” on the forthcoming album – of which the brilliant ‘We Can’t Fly’ is an enticing taster of – and continuing their trend for regular, and brilliant, mixes, it sounds like Vito is set to become one of dance music’s biggest names. Expect to hear lots of music journalists bandying around names like Giorgio Moroder and Studio 54. Expect to don some rather big shades and wig out…..
