JB Dunckel

Jean-Benoît Dunckel, founder of the legendary duo AIR, will be performing live at Berghain Kantine. Shortly before his second solo album H + is released, which continues its part of the AIR sound. His first album was released in 2006 under the pseudonym DARKEL. According to his own words, Dunckel's work on his new album has given great importance to cultivating his musical past in order to develop the future from it. His music is based on the electronic-melancholic sounds that made AIR so famous. Together with his congenial partner Nicolas Godin JB Dunckel had published in 1998 with Moon Safari one of the best-selling and respected debut albums of all time. From 1998 to 2012, AIR produced six more albums, including the soundtrack to Sophia Coppola's directorial debut, and collaborated with such greats as Charlotte Gainsbourg, Francoise Hardy, and Beck. Their work was crowned in 2005 with the Chevalier des Arts et Lettres, the French Order of Arts and Literature, awarded to only a few major artists by the French Minister of Culture.
