One of the hottest topics in dance music in recent years has been about the lack of bona-fide anthems; those certified, unifying tracks that transcend genres, audiences and even the artist who made them to take on a life and energy of their own. Undeniably bucking that trend in 2024 is Joy Orbison’s ‘Flight FM’.
‘Flight FM’ has spawned dozens – if not hundreds – of unofficial edits from the likes of Dom Dolla, Charli xcx, and Disclosure, alongside a host of Soundcloud producers and DJs in a prime example of 2024 bootleg culture. Now, Fred again.. steps up with the official release of ‘flex fm (freddit)’ featuring Playboi Carti, Future and Lil Yachty, as London and Atlanta unite on the track which melds ‘Flight FM’ with Lil Yachty’s ‘Flex Up’.
Speaking about the track, Joy Orbison says: “This edit embodies to me that Flight FM almost isn’t my track anymore. It’s become bigger than my part in it, it’s a song of the people. Fred’s edit has turned it into a stadium tune and really represents how the track has become something else, almost like a riddim. I love that this oddball piece of electronic music has become part of the culture and is now about to reach a whole new audience.”
