As Tycho, Scott Hansen blends swirling melodies into vaguely triumphant arcs that crisscross between stuttering beats and vocal samples, creating rolling sonic landscapes that extend into the horizon. The San Francisco based Hansen began releasing music in the early 2000’s with The Science of Patterns EP. His first full-length, Sunrise Projector, came out in 2004, and the critical acclaim continued in 2006 with the release of Past Is Prologue. In 2011 with the addition of collaborator and guitarist Zac Brown, Hansen’s meticulous process saw the release of Dive, the first record in a trilogy that was followed by Awake in 2014 and the GRAMMY-Nominated Epoch in 2016, two albums that featured Rory O’Connor on drums. Hansen expanded the scope of his project with the addition of vocalist Saint Sinner on 2019’s Weather, Tycho’s second GRAMMY nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album. That release was quickly followed by its instrumental companion record Simulcast, a collaboration with alt-R&B artist rum.gold and the Weather Remixes project all in 2020.  In addition to his original works, Tycho has remixed Odesza & Leon Bridges, Maggie Rogers, Spoon, The Knocks & Muna, Little Dragon, Thievery Corporation and Death Cab For Cutie.

Over the course of the last fifteen years, Hansen has developed from a delicate solo performer into the iconic frontman of a powerful live band featuring Brown, O’Connor and multi-instrumentalist Billy Kim. Tycho has evolved from a singular to a plural, and from an electronic, ambient experiment to a multi-dimensional audio visual live experience that bring the compositions to life.

Although a seemingly new act, Mild Minds (real name Benjamin David) has quickly paved his path as an influential artist at the forefront of electronic music production worldwide. While the past decade has seen Benjamin David as the driving force behind several successful artist projects, he found himself birth Mild Minds while searching to find that child-like state of creation once again.

He introduced Mild Minds with “SWIM” and was immediately signed by international tastemaker label imprint ODESZA’s Foreign Family Collective on Ninja Tune and Counter Records.

Soon, the LA-based Australian was asked to remix ODESZA and Tycho, in addition to touring with everyone from Tycho,

Bob Moses, to Big Wild, before his first sold-out headline shows in Australia, the USA, and Mexico. As “SWIM” eclipsed over

20 million Spotify streams, its remix from ford. notably garnered a 2020 GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of “Best Remixed Recording.”

On its heels, his full-length debut MOOD, earned widespread acclaim including a short list nomination for the Australian Music Prize, 200+ million streams, while remixes poured in from such tastemaking producers as Jacques Greene, Laurence Guy, DJ Boring, and Throwing Snow.

2023 saw the release of the much-lauded IT WON’T DO EP (accompanied with remixes from the likes of Mansionair, MAFRO, Liam Mour among others) as well as a collaboration with friend and FFC labelmate edapollo on EVERYTHING.

Picking up where “Everything” left off, Mild Minds and edapollo make a hypnotic return with their latest offering “IN YOUR EYES” out June 26th on Foreign Family Collective.

Mild Minds defines his music as an exploration between the intersection of humanity and technology; an observational top down view of human progress. He finds inspiration in human movement, patterns, mathematics and artificial intelligence. As diverse as each track may be, he always extracts human emotion from electronic sounds in a search to define his own voice.
