Move your 'Body' to Aeroplane's feel-good latest after move to Australia

'The vocal has a classic quality to it that got stuck in my head instantly'

Italian-Belgian nu-disco king Vito De Luca, aka Aeroplane, has added another country to his bow after moving to Australia and returning with new track 'Body.'

His latest features vocals from Brazilian-Belgian singer Yves Paquet atop his trademark effervescent, sun-drenched energy, out June 8 on Eskimo Recordings.

"'Body' started when Yves got in touch with me, wondering if we could work together," De Luca told Mixmag.

"He had sent me a few bits to showcase his voice and songwriting ability, one of them was 'Body'. The vocal has a classic quality to it that got stuck in my head instantly. Within a few days, with some little tweaks, we had a song."

De Luca relocated to Melbourne a few months ago to work on music with local singer Owl Eyes alongside his own material.

"Although I had been to Australia many times over the last 10 years, doing Parklife or Future Music Festival (RIP), it is a different experience to actually get a place and live the Aussie lifestyle which, to be honest, was pretty easy to get into," he said.
