A trip to the altar of 2000s dance music, “Trouble” was born during the pair’s 2023 run of Ibiza DJ sets when late nights (sometimes) evolved into missed flights. Be it the Chaka Khan hook of Stardust’s “Music Sounds Better With You,” the emotionally evocative collaboration that became Todd Terry’s edit of Everything But The Girl’s “Missing,” or the mirrorballed drumroll of Spiller’s “Groovejet,” “Trouble” is the collision of magical moments from a period that gave warm and ecstatic music for fans to escape into, with the inimitable freshness of a Flight Facilities anthem.
Following the success of their critically acclaimed 2021 sophomore album FOREVER, the new single marks a return to the duo’s roots as they extract the essence of Sydney’s club scene in the mid-to-late 2000s, where they met and played across the thriving scene in the midst of a DJ renaissance. Flight Facilities’ upcoming shows will be centered around filling dance floors as the duo play both intimate clubs and massive stages The Trouble Tour will begin with Miami Music Week parties alongside Claptone and Purple Disco Machine and conclude at Coachella with their debut at the heralded Yuma Tent stage across both weekends. The tour will also hit New York City, Denver, Chicago, Toronto, Mexico City, and more.
“Trouble, in many ways, is a return to our origins in taste, influence and collaboration. Working with Owl Eyes and Bag Raiders’ Jack Glass to reference some turn-of-the-century dance-pop was such a natural fit. We’ve always had a spatial nostalgia for the 2000s, so any excuse to inject its sound into today is one we’ll take.” — Flight Facilities
Having worked together for over a decade, Flight Facilities have refined their styles and perfected the art of creating genre-defying classics. Through their Decades Mixes and massive record collection, which came to life during their expansive, sold-out The Decades Tour last year, they’ve devoted themselves as dancefloor scholars. The result takes listeners on unsuspecting journeys through musical history to places and times they may have never visited, but that feel familiar nonetheless. Flight Facilities’ music bridges the gap between the vast spectrum of music enthusiasts and, in turn, creates a global community that comes together and finds a connection both on the dancefloor and off.
