French electronic duo Air – the pairing of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel – broke through in 1998 with their album Moon Safari, and in the years since they've built up a discography of atmospheric pop albums, film soundtracks and collaborations.

Air's latest release is their first ever anthology TwentyYears. Trevor Reekie talks to Jean-Benoît Dunckel about the group's two-decade-strong recording career.
