Mild Minds merges nostalgia & modern emotion on upcoming album, ‘GEMINI,’ teasing new single ‘DNA ∞’

GRAMMY-nominated producer Mild Minds finishes foreshadowing the narrative of his highly anticipated sophomore album with ‘DNA ∞,’ the final single before ‘GEMINI’ arrives February 21st via Foreign Family Collective. Following a trio of singles, this last preview crystallizes the album’s vision of reimagining underground dance music through an emotional lens.

‘DNA ∞’ embodies the album’s core exploration of humanity within digital spaces, weaving breaks, early trance elements, and R&B samples into a contemporary electronic tapestry. The track represents the culmination of Benjamin David’s journey into turn-of-the-century club sounds, crafting a dialogue between nostalgic dance elements and modern emotional depth.

“This was all about the sonics for me. There isn’t a traditional vocal on this one, so the track was really about making a good dance tune and bringing together all the elements of the album into one song. It moves between a broken groove ending on 4/4.” – Mild Minds

As the final piece of the ‘GEMINI’ puzzle, ‘DNA ∞’ arrives amid growing anticipation for the album, which marks both an artistic evolution and personal triumph for David. “After years of navigating the pressures of the music industry I was hesitant to step too far into the spotlight,” he shares. “But taking the plunge into my own project—something I was often discouraged from pursuing—has been seriously transformative. The way a new venture starts from a blank slate is somewhat beautiful, all these possibilities suddenly open up.”

‘GEMINI’ has already garnered significant radio support across the UK and Ireland. The album campaign kicked off with a first play from Craig Charles on BBC 6 Music, who praised the record during its release day debut. Additional BBC support followed with Sian Eleri featuring the album on Radio 1’s Chillest Show, Pete Tong spotlighting it on his influential program, and plays from Nick Grimshaw, Chris Hawkins, and Don Letts. Lead single “I NEED U” has been added to Capital Chill’s playlist, while Jenny Greene has championed the record on RTÉ 2FM, where Mild Minds is set to contribute an exclusive mix for The Greene Room.
