Flight Facilities
Band Sydney Australia Formed 2010
Flight Facilities formed in 2010 in Sydney, Australia. Flight Facilities has 16 chart appearances on 13 radio countdowns from 2 stations on RockLists, spanning 2010–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Clair de Lune”, which appears on 3 lists with a best position of #17.

Flight Facilities is Hugo Gruzman and James Lyell, a Sydney production duo who also go by Hugo & Jimmy, and they started out remixing other artists' songs before making their own. What they make is glossy, late-night dance pop: nu-disco and house grooves slowed to a sway, with guest vocalists and a little heartache on top, the soundtrack to the last hour of a very good party.
"Crave You" set the tone in 2010, "Foreign Language" followed in 2011 and "Clair de Lune" in 2012, a lush, slow-motion epic that stretches out and takes its time. The debut album, Down to Earth, finally landed on Future Classic in October 2014, with a guest list that ran from Kylie Minogue and Reggie Watts to Emma Louise, Bishop Nehru, Christine Hoberg, Owl Eyes and Stee Downes, and it brought "Two Bodies", "Stand Still", "Sunshine", "Heart Attack" and the title track. "Arty Boy" in 2017 and "Need You" in 2018 kept the glitter ball turning.
