NDX have always had a knack for transforming existential themes into danceable, soul-soaked anthems. With FLIGHT, they take this principle to the extreme. The song feels like a brief, intense tear in the fabric of space-time: a moment of electric intimacy that vanishes just as quickly as it arrived. It is precisely this fleetingness that forms the emotional backbone of the track. The opening alone makes a statement. The multi-voiced, warmly shimmering chorus – led by Ian Whiteling and his new vocal partner Jami Nunes – feels like a collective breath-hold before take-off. No sooner does the funky verse kick in than the energy shifts: Jack Dawkins’ saxophone creeps in with a laid-back jazz flair, whilst Guilherme Dessuy, with his wah-wah guitar tapestry, and Amar Grover, with a bouncy bassline, set the ground beneath your feet in motion. Yet FLIGHT does not stay on the ground. The song works with a constant interplay of letting go and pulling back in. The chorus returns like an emotional updraft that grabs you again and lifts you up. “Rinse, funk, repeat” – here, this is not just a motto, but a dramatic principle. The instrumental climax is a mini-firework display: sax and guitar duel over Joshua Van Ness’s precise, driving drumming. It is the moment when the song truly soars – weightless, ecstatic, almost psychedelic. Then the sudden drop: a brief pause before FLIGHT takes off one last time and finally fades into thin air. What remains is an afterglow. A feeling as though you’ve experienced something significant that you can’t quite put your finger on – and that’s precisely why you want to feel it again.
