Fay has curated a playlist that captures the feeling of being suspended in time, where every moment feels vivid and meaningful, as she shares with us what she feels during a concert back in November.
Love is in the air—that’s exactly how I felt during Air’s performance, the French electronic space-pop duo—at the Joyland Festival in November 2024. Their name couldn’t have been more fitting for how their music seemed to dance effortlessly in the night, creating a soundscape that felt at once close and boundless.
𝘈𝘴 𝘓𝘢 𝘍𝘦𝘮𝘮𝘦 𝘥’𝘈𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵 opened the set, a wave of calm washed over me. Each beat seemed to ease the tension I hadn’t realized I was carrying. When they played 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘐𝘵 𝘌𝘢𝘴𝘺 and transitioned seamlessly into 𝘊𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯‐𝘓à, I was completely unprepared for the emotions that followed. It wasn’t just nostalgia; it was something deeper, a feeling that blurred the line between memory and longing. For a moment, their songs seemed to stretch time itself, slowing everything until only the present remained.
I had secretly hoped they’d close with 𝘈𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘒𝘺𝘰𝘵𝘰, but isn’t that part of the magic of a live concert? You never know which song will take you by surprise and stir something hidden within.
Every track in their set was not just heard—it was felt. The way the sounds layered together pulled us into their dreamscape, turning the ordinary into something sublime. That night wasn’t just a concert; it was a journey.
Thank you, Air, for reminding me that love really is in the air.
