Moon Age Release New Single “Feel It In The Air” — A Spring Soundtrack With Summer On The Horizon

Stockport electronic duo Moon Age return with their latest single “Feel It In The Air”, an uplifting groove-driven track that captures the emotional shift between winter and spring.

Blending shimmering synth-pop textures with nu-disco bounce and funk-laced rhythms, the new single leans into the duo’s growing reputation for crafting feel-good, melodic electronic music. Written across sessions in Bryn’s studio and Matt’s Stockport base, the track developed from its early chord progressions into a warm, layered production filled with arpeggiated acoustic guitars, melodic piano flourishes and a soaring outro.

Since forming in 2024, Moon Age — Matt Hanson and Bryn Shipperlee — have quickly built momentum, amassing hundreds of thousands of streams and selling out their first Manchester headline show. Drawing inspiration from groove-forward artists like Maribou State, Parcels, Jungle and Franc Moody, their sound blends nostalgic influences with modern electronic production.

Arriving just as the seasons begin to change, “Feel It In The Air” feels perfectly timed — a track built around anticipation, warmth and the promise of brighter days ahead.

Feel It In The Air” captures the moment when winter begins to give way to spring. What inspired you to turn that seasonal shift into the theme of a song?

Well it was actually written in the thick of winter, so it was more coming from a place of longing for what’s to come as apposed to writing in the present. The motive was to write a more positive track that could take us to a place rather than writing music that was appropriate to the season. The idea of the breaking of seasons was discussed early, and it played into all the elements that were added during the entirety of the writing process.

The track started in Bryn’s studio and was later developed in Matt’s studio in Stockport. How did that collaborative process shape the final sound of the song?

With this one, the back bone of the track was already recorded by Bryn, so we decided that we would have a session at my studio where Matt would basically improvise over the whole track freely and pick out the best bits. This resulted in the guitar solo & the piano twinkly bits in the second verse.

Matt was gifted this fender electro acoustic by his brother’s mates dad or something who played in a few bands back in the 80s. This happened on the same week we got in the studio to have a session on Feel It In The Air and Matt plugged in the new guitar for the first time. Channeling our love for the sounds of the 80s, we slapped on a load of chorus and reverb and couldn’t get enough of it. Arpeggiated acoustics weren’t by any means the obvious choice to lift the track, but after Matt came across a melody, we leaned into that and double tracked it to create an almost dream-like wall of sound.

This gave the outro the energy we didn’t even know it needed.

Your music blends synth-pop, nu-disco, and funk influences. Which artists or sounds played the biggest role in shaping the groove and feel of this new single?

We have quite a varied taste really, so it’s hard to pin down exactly where the inspiration came from - but recently we have been listening to a lot of Maribou State, Parcels, Jungle & Franc Moody. I think the bounciness of the track and feel good energy probably stems from us listening to summery feel good tunes that all of those bands have.

Since forming in 2024 you’ve quickly built strong momentum, including hundreds of thousands of streams and a sold-out Manchester headline show. How has the rapid growth affected your approach to making new music?

To be honest, it’s meant we are working more closely to deadlines and making a lot more music than before... which is great. Also having people appreciating our music is always nice, and we are very appreciative of that. It makes us motivated to keep progressing & building the fan base. Ultimately, we both just love making music and are constantly bouncing ideas, so to hear people are enjoying our music is just adding fuel to the fire for us.

With the sunny, groove-driven feel of “Feel It In The Air,” it seems tailor-made for live settings and festivals. How do you translate that energy when performing the track on stage?

We have a full live band which enables us to translate the recordings which contain quite a few different elements, into a live setting. We didn’t want to lose any of our sound and have always discussed the importance of our music being performed as live as possible, in order to hopefully connect with the fans and put on a great show. The tracks will have their own live spin too of course, with different session musicians adding their flavors - I think that’s important live, for people to see the tunes under a slightly different light to the recording. But this is our first ever gig as Moon Age in Manchester coming up, so it’s all new to us and I’m sure things will adapt and change along the way. We’re just buzzin to get out there now and see people move to our music, hoping to see some serious (and not so serious) shapes on the dance floor Friday 13th.
