Go BackChateau Flight
From: FRANCE
Chateau Flight

Château Flight shaped in 1995 for a remix from Pierre Henry, they just wanted to be a team of remixers
until they decide to produce their own extracts and their first album: "Puzzle" comes out in 2000.

Musical Path
This combo electro tune compounds of Gilb'r, the fonder of Versatile label in 1996,and famous for the diversity of his music as a DJ; and of I:Cube, the Genius of electro music. Chateau Flight is the real playground where both producers' fields face each other. A playground where I:Cube and Gilbert Cohen mix respectively their styles for the first : Kraftwerk, Maurizio, Steve Reich, Underground Resistance; and for Gilbert's part the urban sounds such as Hip hop, Black Music but also early electro, Krautrock, Psychedelic rock But they have a common point: that authentic taste for the absurd, the English nonsense and the experiment.

A real musical mix that bursts their 2 albums

Productions
On their first album "Puzzle" (2000), they decided to explore Jazz, Soul, 60's French OST but in an electro vein.

They tested a new direction in the album entitled "The Meal" (2004) where deep techno and pop songs pass each other. An album with several featuring: Shawn Lee, Bertrand Burgalat, Marie Daulne, Sebastien Martel…

Their permanent quests for vintage keyboard and effect combine with the use of the last studio technology and software give to Chateau Flight sound an authentic soul and a reel deep mood.
 This mix between vintage sounds en new technology appear in an unexpected way when Château Flight wrote an original soundtrack for the mute movie « Les Vampires » By Louis Feuillade (1916).
To achieve the original soundtrack of "Vampires", Chateau Flight decided to take up a real challenge staying in a studio to work for 3 weeks with the movie "Vampires" as a DVD, an organ linked to various effects and a computer fitted out with far developed software of sound creations.

As a consequence, you can feel a real musical harmony where the meeting between vintage tune and modern technology managed to give us a general survey of what a mute movies orchestra would sound in 2006, at the Show Live to the Cinémathèque Française.
It’s hard to find such complicity and complementarities between two producers. Behind the turntable, Gilb’r is one of the rare DJs to have tested many music fields and to have reached each time "excellence".
Now, playing in a club is a unique opportunity to show people his taste and respected producers: Maurice Fulton, Ame, Henrik Schwartz, Theo Parrish, Rekid (Quiet Village Project/Radio Slave), Emperor Machine… With his mate I:Cube, Chateau Flight DJ set turn dance floor into a craziness area. Both playing with the mixer, dropping underground techno with 80’s Italo sounds, House with old school Hip Hop and Electro with forgotten Disco track, people on the Floor never knows what expect!
