Mildlife + Stevan | Tumbalong Nights

Demon groove kings Mildlife bring their “virtuoso space-jazz magic” (The Guardian) to the Tumbalong Nights stage. Think grooves that merrily go on forever. From oceanic waves layered with looping basslines and squiggly analogue synths to Krautrock excursions, the ARIA awarded Melbourne collective’s direction has become progressively more danceable. Float along their psych-laden experimental path and find yourselves in a heady disco-infused dreamstate.

“This is music you can dance to rather than ‘dance music’ and it’s all the better for it.” – Bill Brewster

“…stop, turn off auto-pilot and let your imagination set a course through the vast spaces between worlds.” – NME

Mildlife are supported by Stevan – 19-year-old musical powerhouse on the rise. This self-taught multi-instrumentalist, producer and singing-songwriting prodigy unites the grooves and rich percussion of hip-hop and RnB with gospel mannerisms and African roots. Seek out what underpins all the whirlwind success and you’ll discover Stevan’s music comes back to one thing – connection.

“His style of dreamy, RnB influenced pop music glides between genres, making it pleasantly indefinable—he makes the type of songs that reverberate around your head for days after that first listen. They’re unusual, spacey, and catchy.” – Acclaim Magazine
