Airline

**Airline** is a Los Angeles-based electronic music project known for its moody, atmospheric soundscapes that blend synthwave textures with cinematic tension. Formed by producers Alex Epton (aka XXXChange) and James Richardson, the duo crafts immersive tracks that often evoke sci-fi noir vibes, pairing pulsing basslines with haunting melodies. Their recent releases—like the brooding "Cassini," intense "Bloodspiller," hypnotic "Coma," and expansive "Magnify"—showcase their knack for merging analog synth experimentation with dark, driving rhythms.

Since emerging in the mid-2010s, Airline has collaborated with artists like Nosaj Thing and Hrishikesh Hirway (The One AM Radio), while releasing music through labels such as Innovative Leisure and Friends of Friends. Their live performances lean into their signature visual aesthetic, combining shadowy lighting and retro-futuristic visuals to heighten the otherworldly atmosphere of their music. Though shrouded in mystery, Airline’s work remains a go-to for listeners craving moody electronica with a cinematic edge.
