Gryffin, Excision & Julia Michaels Drop New Track “Air” Rocking Bass

Festival season always brings with it a handful of tracks that feel engineered for the exact moment night turns into morning — when arms are raised, hearts are open, and the beat feels like the only thing anchoring you to the earth. With “Air,” Gryffin, Excision, and Julia Michaels deliver exactly that kind of experience, a buoyant, emotionally-charged anthem that hits harder because it knows when to hold back.

Out now via 10K Projects, “Air” defies expectations from the jump. Instead of leaning into the pulverizing force Excision usually brings to the table, the track opts for restraint. Gryffin’s cinematic touch is front and center, building a rich, shimmering atmosphere with bright piano chords and tidal synths that carry an undeniable sense of lift-off. The production doesn’t overwhelm; it invites.

Julia Michaels, as always, knows how to make every word cut deeper. Her vocals are the emotional spine of the track, delivered with a rawness that gives “Air” its weight even as the production soars. Rather than drowning in bombast, the drop — while still tinged with Excision’s heavier bass fingerprints — feels like a surge of adrenaline that somehow stays intimate. It’s melodic bass with a progressive house soul, executed with remarkable finesse.

What’s most striking is how natural the collaboration feels. Gryffin, Excision, and Michaels don’t battle for space; they build it together. “Air” doesn’t just blend their styles — it finds a new center where emotional storytelling and dancefloor energy can coexist without compromise.

As Gryffin pushes further into genre-blending territory with his “PULSE: PHASE 2” tour, “Air” arrives as a declaration: this is not an artist interested in playing it safe. It’s a risk that pays off — not by chasing louder drops, but by chasing the feeling that keeps people coming back to dance floors and festival fields year after year.
