AirFunk Lounge Series Vol. 1 by Maxime dB

Excited to share AirFunk Lounge Series Vol. 1, a very special project that blends deep musical curation with a personal touch. This 18-track compilation brings together 20 international artists from diverse musical universes and has been carefully mixed into a smooth, cinematic listening journey. It’s an invitation to take a breath, unplug, and let the music carry you.

The inspiration for this release goes way back to my teenage years when I would listen endlessly to compilations like Buddha Bar, Hôtel Costes, and Café del Mar. Those compilations had this magical ability to transport you and create a journey. That same spirit of warmth, sensuality, and travel is exactly what I wanted to capture with this AirFunk lounge edition.

From ambient jazz to downtempo, trip hop grooves and dreamy textures, each track builds a narrative. You’ll hear contributions from artists like Sweely, Amine Laje, Paul Cut, Felipe Valenzuela & Argenis Brito, Adam Collins, Penelope and more…all coming from different generations and sonic backgrounds yet perfectly aligned in mood and intention.

It’s been a big honor to see the project featured on FIP Radio, which means a lot to me. FIP’s curation has always been top-tier, and having them support this compilation is truly special.

A mixed version will also be released very soon on different platforms to enjoy the full experience in one continuous flight.

To reflect that feeling visually, I designed the cover myself using AI tools, pushing for something soft, surreal, and a little otherworldly like the music itself.

The digital version is available now on Bandcamp, and a limited triple vinyl (3×12") will be released in middle August, through Yoyaku and more. It’s been carefully mastered and pressed to give the full physical experience !

This compilation is a love letter to chill-out culture, reimagined through the AirFunk lens. Whether you're floating at 30,000 feet or just lying on your couch. I hope it brings you a sense of calm, curiosity, and escape…

Thanks for listening and enjoy the flight ☁︎
