About two weeks ago, Flight Facilities unleashed their debut album, Down To Earth, through powerhouse Australian record label Future Classic, and from the record, oneof our favorite songs was "Two Bodies", a single that's received some heavy remixing ever since its release. Our favorite interpretation so far has come from French producer Darius, but now he has some competition, because the Norwegian whiz kid, Lido, has decided to put his own dreamy and excellently minimalistic spin on it—making an absolutely stunning affair even more so. Lido caught us a bit off guard with this remix, but not by slamming us with the blindingly bright synth layers that he usually does; rather, he decided to give the original a beautifully soft, starlit twist that we don't usually hear from him. He makes use of some gorgeous piano chords, celestial soundscapes, downtempo percussion, and gentle synths, and all work together to engender a lovely affair. If you want to check out more work from Lido, be sure to listen to his spectacular remix of alt-J's "Left Hand Free", and if you haven't yet, you can grab a copy of Flight Facilities new album, Down To Earth, on iTunes. Also, Lido's very first live shows are coming up, and you can find the dates and locations for those below. 17th December – Perth, Gilkisons 18th December – Brisbane, Oh Hello! 19th December – Melbourne, 170 Russel 20th December – Sydney, Metro Theatre
