airhockey — Sebastian Hidalgo, Mel Sarria and Mike Diaz in Miami airhockey, miami

about

airhockey began in the summer of 2018 when Mel and Sebastian started writing songs in their bedroom in the Miami suburbs. What started as a two-person experiment became something bigger when Mike joined — whose parallel solo project felt like it was already coming from the same place.

The result is a sound that's big without being heavy: washy vocals layered over driving bass, infectious guitars, and faded synths. Lyrically, airhockey lives in the emotional gray area — not falling in love, not falling out, but the uncertain middle. Trust. Uncertainty. What comes after.

Made in Miami. Felt everywhere.

"The anchoring ethereal synth line emulates the pop-rock of The Cure, but when paired with woozy and muted vocals, it creates a sound that's markedly distinctive."
— High Clouds, June 2019
