Esprit D'Air is a UK-based Japanese rock (J-rock) outfit that effortlessly blends traditional rock with electronic elements, creating expansive soundscapes and anthemic tracks that have earned them a dedicated global following. The brainchild of vocalist, composer, and producer Kai, Esprit D'Air reformed in 2016 as a solo project after initially disbanding in 2013. Since the revival, Kai has been at the helm, steering the project with a DIY ethos and a vision to craft music that transcends the boundaries of rock. Their sound is characterized by soaring melodies, intricate instrumental layers, and a seamless fusion of genres, from metal to electronic.

Through their recent releases like "雫 ('Shizuku')", both the original and its remix version, "Leviathan (Special Edition)", and "Grudge", Esprit D'Air showcases their versatility and evolution in sound. The singles "The Trooper" and "Guiding Light (SlYder Remix)" further highlight their ability to reinterpret and innovate within their musical niche. Collaborative efforts such as "Dead Zone" featuring Ben Christo and "The Abyss" featuring Ryo Kinoshita of Crystal Lake, underscore the band's reverence within the rock community and their openness to explore new sonic territories. With each release, Esprit D'Air continues to chart their unique path in the music world, blending emotive storytelling with groundbreaking sounds that captivate and inspire.
