Joy Orbison’s “flight fm” was Originally written while waiting for a ride to the Lost Village Festival in August 2023, and debuted that same night. Since the track’s arrival, “flight fm” has been described as a song of the people.

“flight fm” received numerous unofficial edits from the likes of Dom Dolla, Charli xcx, and Disclosure, alongside a host of Soundcloud producers and DJs. Today, Fred again.. arrives 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”. Described by Yachty himself as “like a thousand bees swarming”, “flex fm” (coincidentally also the name of Joy Orbison’s favourite London radio station) was originally created by Fred to play at his The Lot Radio and Knockdown Center shows with Little Yachty and Overmono in New York to celebrate the release of their “stayinit” collaboration in February. Since then, it’s become a highlight moment of Fred’s sets around the world, most recently at his sold-out debut stadium show at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in July.

Speaking about the track, Joy Orbison says: “I was thinking about dj narrows & mampi swift records when I made flight. Also, thinking about listening to flight and flex fm from my bedroom, back when you had to have that annoying plastic chord thing half way up the wall to listen to any radio station, let alone a pirate. I love that this track has reached so many people outside of any cultural or sonic ideas I had about it, that’s one of the most enjoyable things about making music. Basic channel’s ‘phylyps trak ii’ was garage to my ears, oizo’s ‘flat beat’ too. Flex was flight but now it’s something new, now atlanta’s involved :-)”
