Mildlife at Phoenix Central Park

Since oozing onto the scene, Mildlife’s mellifluous mix of jazz, krautrock and demon grooves has fast become a word-of-mouth sensation among open-minded DJs and diggers searching for the perfect beat.

Their emergence was fortified by European tours, demonstrating a riotously loose-limbed performance approach that was every bit as thrilling as their album’s tantalizing promise. By the end of their breakout year, they’d been nominees for Best Album at the Worldwide FM Awards (Worldwide’s Gilles Peterson was a notable champion), won Best Electronic Act at The Music Victoria Awards back home in Melbourne, and were officially anointed by DJ Harvey who included ‘The Magnificent Moon’ on his Pikes compilation Mercury Rising Vol II.

2020’s follow-up album 'Automatic' saw the band elevate with more disciplined, directional and arguably more danceable synergy. With tightly structured arrangements making way for melodic improvisation and ethereal vocals, Mildlife effortlessly glid between live performance and studio songwriting like Kraftwerk and Herbie Hancock quarantined in Bob Moog’s Trumansburg workshop. Debuting Top 10 on the Australian charts, 'Automatic' snared a coveted ARIA Award for Best Jazz Album.

Mildlife will perform at Phoenix Central Park on Wed 25 October 2023.

Free tickets via ballot only.
