Belgium disco mavens Aeroplane are heading to Australia in August for a rash of dates including Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide - sorry but no Perth dates.

I first got on the Aeroplane bandwagon (and it is fast becoming a bandwagon) last year when I picked up their remix of fellow Belgium duo Das Pop’s “Fool For Love” from Phase02.org. But I have to admit that I didn’t pay them a great deal of attention until I copped an early release of their May single “Whispers” with Kathy Diamond and fell in love.

I think I know better now. If it’s on Eskimo Records it is almost assured of being a great, well produced track or release. With label mates include the likes of Mylo, Joakim, Mike Simonetti and Lindstrom it’s hard to go wrong.

And most recently of course we’ve got their remix of Cut Copy’s “Hearts On Fire” which for me has been a creeper. While it’s not my personal favourite of the bunch, it’s charming nonetheless.

Anyway here are the dates and hope to see you at the Melbourne show. Good news for Luke because he will be living in Melbourne by then and Bec can catch them in Sydney I guess. Wooo!
