'Clip-O-The-Week' followed by PortMac.News Playlist

PortMac.News continues it's trip down dream pop road with Australian duo Flight Facilities and their smooth new release 'Lights Up' featuring Compton rapper Channel Tres - Premiered May 21, 2021.

"We’ve always loved the sound of the early Detroit House scene that crossed over with the Paradise Garage era. Combined with our love for Channel’s voice, it seemed like a perfect fit. His voice has a magical ability to make songs that are made for strutting"

The Australian production duo’s new track draws on Tres’ key influences, 90s Detroit house and West Coast hip-hop, with a throbbing synth bassline and understated keys foregrounding the rapper’s smooth vocals.

“[Tres’] voice has a magical ability to make songs that are made for strutting,” said Flight Facilities in a statement.

“We felt it was important to keep enough of our sound and influence in the track, to avoid it sounding too derivative, so we wanted to include some 90’s and 00’s elements to give the song its own character.”

This video perfectly goes for the Detroit house theming. They smash it out of the park again!
