Vito De Luca, aka Aeroplane, the Italian-Belgian producer, has established himself as a party-starting DJ, a remixer du jour, and a leader of the nu-disco and Balearica music scene. His distinctive “analog house” sound sets him apart from the rest. Aeroplane has produced several popular and HypeMachine-charting remixes, including Justin Timberlake’s 'Suit and Tie, Mystery Skulls’ 'Paralyzed', Charli XCX’s 'Boom Clap', Mayer Hawthorne’s 'Wine Glass Woman' and Stromae’s 'Tous Les Memes'.
Aeroplane’s debut album We Can’t Fly, an in depth trip into Balearics with a large dose of AOR and Moroder-influenced disco, was released on Eskimo Recordings in 2010. Well ahead of its time, the album is an obvious precursor to many of the releases of similar genre in 2013 and 2014.
In 2012, Aeroplane was selected by Pete Tong as the 500th DJ to perform an Essential Mix which included his song 'We Can’t Fly' and his now world famous remix of Friendly Fires' 'Paris'. As a result, Aeroplane was named one of NME’s 20 Most Groundbreaking Dance Acts in the World. Following the success of 'We Can’t Fly' and the 'Paris' remix, Aeroplane has released several collaborative EP’s and produced countless successful remixes.
In the past few years Aeroplane has produced several Beatport-charting EP’s, started a sample-house project called FLUSH with Defected Records, launched an acclaimed collaborative group with Alex Metric (called Metroplane), and teamed up with Purple Disco Machine and Aloe Blacc for a single released on Spinnin’ Deep. Back on Eskimo Recordings, he had a series of singles including 'Let’s Get Slow' which featured a vocal performance by Benjamin Diamond of Stardust "Music Sounds Better With You" fame, the oldschool house oriented 'Page One Is Love' (with Jamie Principle) and the 2018 summer jam 'Body'.
