Body & Soul Presents: Château Flight

Château Flight is the collaboration between Parisian DJs and producers Gilb’r and Nicolas Chaix, aka I:Cube, without whom the history of modern French electronic and dance music would look very different.

Gilb'r is a hip-hop-loving ex-radio jock, while I:Cube’s debut single "Disco Cubizm" propelled him into the premier league of French house producers when he was just a teenage schoolboy. The pair formed Château Flight in 1997 with an open agenda, and have since released a variety of remixes and albums on Gilb’r’s Versatile label. Their respective musical heritage echoes the sounds of Detroit techno soul, Chicago and their jackmasters, the warmth, boom boxes and mirror balls of New York as well as early European electronica, Italian disco, German krautrock as well as the delays and reverbs King Tubby or Lee “Scratch” Perry experimented with. I:Cube likes to describe the results of their collaborative efforts as pretty unpredictable: „No system, no formula, always a bit different…” The same words apply to their appearances as DJs or as a live act.

Instead of a boring and predictable textbook sets, they throw everything in the mix that influenced and inspired the Chateau Flight sound system.

Recon Warriors started as a pioneering techno label from Belgrade, Serbia. Founded by Marko Nastic in 2004, the label rounded up the best producers from the region and very soon became a well respected brand on the techno scene. In 2005 Recon Light and Traffica Records were formed as minimal and house counterparts of Recon Warriors. At first only vinyl pressings were available but from 2007 we started with digital releases too. As always the main goal behind Recon brand was releasing and promoting quality electronic music from talented producers around the world. Throughout the years, with uncompromising quality production and frequent label parties Recon became a well respected and influential brand in these regions. Now these labels coexist in creative symbiosis that complement each other with conceptual releases and interesting collaborations. Of course, it's not impossible for some releases to transcend labels genre classifications.

Music For Body And Soul is a radio show hosted by Marko Nastic, Dejan Milicevic and Marko Milosavljevic on Radio B92 every friday 22h. Every show features a guest mix from talented as well as upcoming DJs in addition to a mix by Marko Nastic featuring new music from around the world. The show also focuses on promotion of the labels' new releases and parties.
