Mild Minds, the brainchild of GRAMMY®-nominated producer Benjamin David, has always been a conduit for exploring the intersection of human emotion and technological progress. With his sophomore album 'GEMINI', set for release early 2025 via ODESZA's Foreign Family Collective, David pushes this exploration to new heights, crafting a sonic landscape that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. This highly anticipated follow-up to his acclaimed 2020 debut 'MOOD' marks a bold evolution in David's artistic journey.

At the core of David's artistic identity is a belief in electronic music's power to express complex emotions. 'GEMINI' exemplifies this ethos, reimagining turn-of-the-century club sounds through a lens of introspection and melancholy. The album weaves breaks, airy pads, and chopped 2000's R&B samples with nods to early trance and UK garage, leaving a sonic fingerprint that is at once nostalgic and startlingly contemporary.

At the heart of 'GEMINI' lies a poignant reflection on humanity in a digital age. Benjamin David explains, "The album brings together sounds you would normally hear only in club genres and recontextualizes them, paired with melancholic emotions that one wouldn't usually hear transcribed by such sounds." This unique approach is evident in tracks like "LAST CHANCE", "EMPTY SPACE", and "GEMINI", where familiar club elements take on new emotional depth.

David's artistic vision extends beyond sound, encompassing a striking visual campaign that echoes the album's themes. Stark rooms with transparent screens displaying faded nature scenes create a multi-sensory experience, challenging listeners to find warmth and connection in an increasingly digital reality.

Since Mild Minds' emergence in 2018, David has consistently pushed boundaries and defied genre conventions. Drawing inspiration from human movement, patterns, and artificial intelligence, he crafts soundscapes that are as intellectually stimulating as they are emotionally evocative. His debut album 'MOOD' earned widespread acclaim, including a shortlist nomination for the Australian Music Prize, and has amassed over 200 million streams. The project has garnered remixes from visionary artists like Jacques Greene and DJ Boring, while a remix of "SWIM" by ford. earned Mild Minds a GRAMMY® nomination.

In the intervening years between 'MOOD' and 'GEMINI', David has expanded his artistic vision beyond Mild Minds. In 2024, he launched MOODS INTL., his own record label providing a platform for both emerging and established artists. This entrepreneurial spirit complements his continued relationship with Foreign Family Collective, allowing David to nurture new talent while pushing his own artistry to new heights.

As Mild Minds prepares to tour extensively in support of 'GEMINI', Benjamin David remains committed to his core artistic principles: emotional authenticity, sonic innovation, and a deep respect for electronic music's transformative power. The album stands as a testament to his unique ability to blend underground club culture with contemporary production, creating a sound that's both familiar and groundbreaking.

With each release, David invites listeners to join him on a journey of introspection and revelation. 'GEMINI' is no exception - it's a powerful reminder of the profound human connection that can be forged through sound, even in our increasingly digital world.
