Belgian DJ/producer Vito DeLuca, aka Aeroplane, after recently teaming up with Alex Metric under the name Metroplane, has now teamed up with Purple Disco Machine for a new track on Spinnin’ Records featuring Aloe Blacc ‘Counting On Me’.
Earlier this year, the guys teamed up for the instant-anthem ‘Sambal’, a stunning piece of deep house with captivating steeldrum melody line. A classic at first hear, receiving lots of DJ support this summer, the record turned into a festival favourite.
And now, the guys have returned for an exciting continuation of their collab. ‘Counting On Me’ is the next step of their exploration of current deep house, with captivating piano chords and a soulful vibe, add to this the inspired vocals of Aloe Blacc and you’ve got the ultimate feel good dance tune
“We produced ‘Counting On Me’ in the same two-day session as ‘Sambal’. When we started we wanted to make two types of tracks, firstly a balearic disco track that we would both want to play during our sunset & pool party sets over the summer (‘Sambal’). And secondly a modern vocal disco house track that referred to both the classic house and to the indie disco scenes that we could play forever (‘Counting On Me’).” Aeroplane
“With this last track, we knew we had something really good going on, but left it for a few months to concentrate on ‘Sambal’. In the meantime Aeroplane’s manager played the ‘Counting On Me’ demo to his old buddy from the LA hip hop underground: Aloe Blacc. He loved it ! And here we are now…” – Purple Disco Machine
