GRAMMY®-nominated producer and electronic music visionary Benjamin David, better known as Mild Minds, releases “I NEED U” on January 7th via ODESZA’s Foreign Family Collective. This emotionally rich track offers a preview of his sophomore album, GEMINI, set for release on February 21, 2025.
Building on the foundation of singles “GEMINI” and “TEAR DROPS,” “I NEED U” showcases Mild Minds’ evolved sound—interweaving contemporary club music with deeply personal sentiment. Characterized by luminous chord progressions and ethereal vocal elements, the track captures the album’s overarching theme of longing and emotional depth.
The forthcoming album draws inspiration from early 2000s underground club music, combining atmospheric textures, dynamic breaks, chopped R&B samples, and trance influences with emotive vocals. GEMINI contrasts digital and human elements, creating a narrative of humanity within dystopian themes, a concept extended into the album’s futuristic yet nature-infused visuals.
Launching his GEMINI album tour on February 7, 2025, in Washington, DC, Mild Minds will perform across major North American venues, including Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg, Los Angeles’ El Rey Theatre, and San Francisco’s Bimbo’s 365 Club, culminating in a UK debut at fabric London.
Beyond the album and tour, Mild Minds continues to shape the electronic music scene with projects like his label MOODS INTL. and the collaborative duo LUV HRTS. With over 300 million streams and a reputation for blending innovative soundscapes with emotive storytelling, GEMINI is set to solidify Mild Minds as one of electronic music’s most distinctive voices.
Tickets for the GEMINI album tour are available now via www.mildminds.com.
