Flight Facilities

Flight Facilities, the Sydney electronic duo of Hugo Gruzman and James Lyell, built their early profile by mixing songs by other artists before moving into original material in 2009. They also perform under the name Hugo & Jimmy.

The pair’s debut album, Down to Earth, arrived in October 2014. Released through Future Classic, it brought together a wide cast of vocalists and collaborators, including Kylie Minogue, Emma Louise, Reggie Watts, Bishop Nehru, Christine Hoberg, Owl Eyes and Stee Downes. The album placed Flight Facilities’ production work alongside voices from pop, indie and hip-hop rather than presenting the project as a fixed vocalist-led act.

Flight Facilities work across electronic, house, disco and funk-inflected sounds, with Gruzman and Lyell remaining the duo at the centre of the project.
