Melbourne based hip-hop / electronic duo Milwaukee Banks have today announced a national tour in celebration of the release of their debut record Deep Into The Night out now via Dot Dash / Remote Control Records. On top of that, they have shared an incredible live video of the duo performing ‘Faded’, filmed at the most recent Remote Control Session at Newmarket Studios by Tobias Willis.
The duo will be hitting up Melbourne on Sunday 24 April, Brisbane on Friday 6 May, Perth on Friday 13 May, Sydney on Friday 27 May, Adelaide on Saturday 28 May and Ballarat on Saturday 11 June.
Milwaukee Banks is the project of Melbourne based Edo & Dyl Thomas. Combining their unique flow and detailed electronica with southern hip hop production; it’s a sound that continues to win fans.
Building upon the foundations of their acclaimed 2014 Rose Water EP, Deep Into The Night boasts a production style that resonates Australia’s rising underground of inventive electronica talent while utilising elements of Southern US and alternative UK hip-hop. The result is a resounding assertion of Milwaukee Banks’ unique voice.
Deep Into The Night incorporates dynamic atmosphere through forward-thinking beats and exploring deep introspection with incisive poetic flair. MC-producer Dyl and primary beat-maker Edo tie this in seamlessly with their experience in the hip-hop community and appreciation for electronic arrangements respectively.
Leading with singles ‘Faded’ and ‘Reincarnated’, Deep Into The Night shows Milwaukee Banks primed for the big leagues. The album showcases some on–point collaborations, with friends and rising acts including KUČKA and Stax Osset lending guest features, exemplifying both the album’s range and the quality of talent currently emerging from Australia.
It’s a showcase of experimentation that pays off. “We wanted to avoid just making 12 trap beats for an album,” Edo says. “We’re taking in different styles—R&B, house, electronica.” It’s a process that takes finesse and reverence, coming together to form a cohesive and commanding debut full-length salvo.
