LOVELY FLIGHT
DIDIER SINCLAIR

#House

2000.08.28

Released in 2000, Didier Sinclair's Lovely Flight EP is one of those rare records that transcends its era. Many years on, it remains a reference point in house music — the kind of release that DJs and producers keep returning to, generation after generation.

The EP's four tracks map a confident, wide-ranging vision. The title track Lovely Flight is the centrepiece: hypnotic, transporting, instantly recognisable, it carries an atmosphere that is simply its own. Few house tracks from that period have aged so gracefully, or earned such enduring status on dancefloors worldwide. Rush Hour and Take a Trip round out the original material, while a remix by DJ Chris Pi closes the package with a complementary reading of the lead track.

The measure of Lovely Flight's lasting impact can be heard in the number of artists who have felt compelled to revisit it. Over the years, the track has been remixed by Baron, Tom Bugs, Fein Cerra, Reda daRe, Mydoz and Mathieu Bouthier, among others — each bringing their own perspective to a record that somehow remains as vital as ever.

A timeless essential.
