Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel burst onto the scene with their 1998 debut Moon Safari, a record packed with lush synths, breathy melodies, and chill-out vibes that still sound fresh over two decades later.
With hits like “Sexy Boy” and “All I Need,” Moon Safari became an instant classic - and laid the foundation for what would become the French downtempo aesthetic. From their acclaimed soundtrack for The Virgin Suicides to the slick, sci-fi-inspired grooves of 10 000 Hz Legend and the romantic tones of Talkie Walkie, Air’s discography is a journey through analog warmth and avant-garde pop.
As we count down to their much-anticipated show at Rockhal, Luxembourg in July, tune in to Today Radio at 8pm where our Artist Hour special will dive deep into Air’s signature sound - where vintage electronics meet cinematic elegance.
Their influence can be felt across genres, inspiring artists from Beck to Phoenix, and shaping the sonic DNA of chillwave, synth-pop, and indie-electronica.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering their catalogue, tune in for an hour of spacey serenity and retro-futuristic flair with the duo who made ambient cool again.
Air perform at Rokchal on Sunday 6th July... more info can be found here.
