Mild Minds

About

Mild Minds, the moniker of Australian-born, Los Angeles-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Benjamin David, is a sonic architect of emotive, genre-blurring electronica. With a sound that marries the warmth of analog synths with the precision of modern production, Mild Minds crafts immersive soundscapes that feel both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Drawing from influences like Caribou, Four Tet, and Bonobo, his music is a lush tapestry of downtempo grooves, house rhythms, and ambient textures, all anchored by his knack for melodic storytelling. David’s career took flight with his 2018 debut EP *SWIM*, which earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album—a rare feat for an independent artist. His breakout single “SWIM” became a global sensation, racking up millions of streams and solidifying his place in the electronic music scene. Since then, Mild Minds has collaborated with luminaries like ODESZA, Frameworks, and Boats, further expanding his sonic palette. Beyond his music, Mild Minds has carved out a unique artistic identity, blending visual art and sound into cohesive, multi-sensory experiences. His live performances are a testament to this, combining live instrumentation with hypnotic visuals. Recently, he released his sophomore album, *MOOD*, a deeply personal project that explores themes of mental health and self-discovery. With a growing global fanbase and a reputation for innovation, Mild Minds continues to push the boundaries of electronic music, proving that introspection and dance-floor energy can coexist.
