This is not a mind trip, this is a body journey!
This is not a mind trip, or is it?
The Intergalactic Research Institute for Sound is proud to present fresh music from the legendary german duo Air Liquide. Active since 1991, Dr Walker and Jammin Unit have released more than 50 records with their band Air Liquide.
This is their first official outing since 2004, but that does not mean that these two were hiding somewhere for 15 years. Jammin Unit stayed busy with his Jammin Masters – mastering studio and Dr Walker was heavily involved in the Liquid Sky artist collective and they kept making music sometimes undercover, or on remix duty/coproducing with Coldcut and Ninja Tune and other high profile artists.
“This is a Mind Trip” nods to the 94’s Love Parade, Dr. Motte, and things that could ring nostalgic for some. However there is no nostalgia in these three tracks. Air Liquide was always looking towards the future and this hasn’t changed despite the hiatus between the releases.
We’ll spare you more useless chatter about a new take on techno, because this is a mind trip and not a body journey!
And this trip is damn good!
Written & produced by Air Liquide

AIR LIQUIDE
Formed in 1991, Air Liquide is a “mythical” electronic music act composed of Ingmar Koch and Cem Oral. After meeting in Frankfurt during a jam session, they started to collaborate and released Neue Frankfurter Elektronik Schule, soon followed by their first LP Air Liquide. Throughout the 90’s their records explored many new themes in electronic music influencing the genre for the next decades. They notoriously performed with American poet Mary Susan Applegate who contributed with vocals on some of their songs. After Let Your Ears Be the Receiver in 2004, the duo separated and did not release any new music under their Air Liquide guise until 2018.
