We're all fools for this kind of love.

A mate of mine always hates the start of new years. He's not really into the whole New Year's Eve let's party till a new days dawns-thing. I however did want 2007 to end because I was kind of excited for January 2008 to start because in that month, Belgian nü-disco duo Aeroplane's remix for Das Pop's Fool for Love was to be released.

I already liked the by Soulwax produced original. That one came with some remixes by SebastiAn and Yuksek & Brodinski which I liked even better than the original, although they had the same Frenchy feeling over them. But the true masterpiece came from Aeroplane.


The beauty of this remix lies in its simplicity: they got rid of the verses and the guitars of the original and only kept the chorus, which kicks in late in the remix. They added some handclaps, a disco-tinged bassline and an extremely catchy melody. No wonder these guys are already hailed by Lindstrom and Prins Thomas.

Aeroplane's career is really taking off now. After their 2 EPs on Eskimo Recordings, they have 2 remixes coming up this month (check their magnificent take on Low Motion Disco's Love Love Love) and a third EP on Eskimo, featuring Kathy Diamond and no less than Hercules and Love Affair on remixing duty.
