Airborne (Remixes)

Cut Copy

High-energy club re-imaginings of a psych-pop standout. Filtered disco loops and deep house pulses transform a sunset anthem into a midnight floor-filler.

This remix package takes the breezy, psychedelic-tinged core of Airborne and drags it onto the dancefloor under the cover of darkness. While the original track from Haiku from Zero felt like a mid-afternoon festival set, these versions are built for the peak hours of a club night. Jacques Lu Cont brings his signature French Touch-inspired filtering, turning the vocal hooks into rhythmic elements that pulse with a disco-house heartbeat. It is a masterclass in how to preserve the emotional core of a song while completely altering its physical impact.

Moments Worth Listening For
The moment the filter opens up on the main synth hook in the Jacques Lu Cont remix, turning a subtle pulse into a full-blown disco explosion.
The way the bassline drops out in the Weiss remix for a long, tension-building snare roll before slamming back in with a deeper, more industrial kick.
The transition in the original version from the jangly, almost 60s-inspired guitar intro into the driving, motorik electronic beat.
