Vegyn & Air

Blue Moon Safari Vegyn & Air RSD 2025 edition

Vegyn revisits Air's Moon Safari from beginning to end.

In a daring crossover of genres and eras, British producer and electronic artist Joe Thornalley, known as Vegyn, reimagines Air's iconic 1998 debut album Moon Safari. Vegyn came to prominence thanks to his work with the likes of Frank Ocean and Travis Scott and has made a name for himself as a forward-thinking producer who blends lush, atmospheric soundscapes with experimental beats and a sense of unpredictability. By remixing Moon Safari, Vegyn brings his unique vision to the French duo's beloved ambient-pop masterpiece, infusing it with a fresh, contemporary energy.

Air's Moon Safari was groundbreaking in its marriage of dreamy synths, groovy bass lines, and lush melodies, setting the tone for late '90s electronic music and influencing countless artists in the years that followed. Tracks like "Sexy Boy," "All I Need," and "La Femme d'Argent" became synonymous with the smooth, chilled-out vibe of the era. In Vegyn's hands, these tracks retain the essence of the originals while pushing into new territories. Vegyn’s remix approach is less about recreating the past than about evolving it. The result - 'Blue Moon Safari’ feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking, a reimagining that gives this timeless record a contemporary twist.
