Bio from The Festival Voice

Artist Biography by Daniel Karasek

Milky Chance is the German duo of singer/songwriter Clemens Rehbein and DJ Philipp Dausch. The pair met while in high school in Kassel, Germany, where they played together in a local band. After graduation, the band broke up, but Clemens and DJ continued as a duo. In 2013, they started to work on their debut album and uploaded several tracks to YouTube including “Stolen Dance” which became a viral hit that got them several sold-out tour dates. The full album Sadnecessary arrived later in the year, charting on the Billboard Top 200. The single “Stolen Dance” was reissued and made the charts across Europe and the U.S. Milky Chance didn’t release their next album Blossom until 2017, and their third album arrived in 2019 with the single “Daydreaming” featuring Tash Sultana. The next year they released the single “Don’t Let Me Down” as a collaboration with Jack Johnson. In 2021, the duo released Trip Tape which consisted of remixes of their own material in addition to covers of artists including Nirvana and the Kid LAROI. Part two of the project Trip Tape II arrived in 2022 with the single “Troubled Man.” Their next album and most recent release Living in a Haze came out in 2023.
