Cabin Crew (other Alias' include Aviators, RobKAY [Rob Kittler] and Grafton Primary [Ben Garden and others]) are a Sydney duo of Ben Garden and Rob Kittler from Australia. They are known for their song, "Star To Fall" (also known as "Star2Fall"), which is a remix of the 1988 hit song "Waiting For A Star To Fall" by Boy Meets Girl, and was involved in a "sample battle" with Sunset Strippers. Cabin Crew originally remixed the track, but SonyBMG would not clear the sample for release. Instead, they enlisted Sunset Strippers to remix the track to try and block the Cabin Crew version. But when Boy Meets Girl's vocalist George Merrill heard the track, he re-recorded the vocals, allowing the Cabin Crew release to go ahead. In Australia, the single releases were almost simultaneous. Although Cabin Crew's version debuted higher, Sunset Strippers hung around the chart longer. The Sunset Strippers version also picked up more airplay.
On February 28 2008, Cabin Crew released their new song "Can't Stop It" On CD-Maxi (CDS/CDM), 12" Vinyl (EP), and Digital Formats under the Vicious Vinyl (Vicious Grooves) Record Label. The Mind Electric Mix is featured on the album Vicious Cuts Summer 2008. The song hit shelves on March 6 2008 but is still not widely available.
[edit] Unofficial releases
Cabin Crew's first song was "Waiting for a Star to Fall" in 2004, this is not to be confused with "Star2Fall", because this unofficial version was only a bootleg release and only a few copies were ever made onto a single sided 12" Vinyl, when it was recognized by George Merrill it was renamed "Star2Fall" and released under various record labels, making it onto radio (more info above). Their second unofficial song was called "Shine On 2004" which featured a repeated sample of John Lennon's "We all Shine On". This song was printed just like "Waiting for a Star to Fall" with the words TEST PRESSING on the right of the Vinyl, once again, very few were printed. Their third unofficial release was named "Finally In Calabria/She wants to House", this song was printed on double sided 12" Vinyl's, the song Finally In Calabria has a close resemblance to Alex Gaudino's Destination Calabria and She wants to House has close resemblance to N.E.R.D's She Want's to Move, however once again, this song had the words TEST PRESSING written on the right side and very few Vinyl's were printed. Some of these Vinyl's are still available second hand, but are extremely rare and expensive. It was also rumoured in 2005, and later confirmed by the duo, that they were working on a remix of "One Night In Bangkok", however it was canceled and the Vinylshakers mix was given permission to the sample, the Vinylshakers mix however didn't have much success and was later removed from the radio and all Vinyl's and CD's stopped production.
