MICKEY KOJAK

Mickey Kojak is Australia’s favourite acid- taking, video-game playing producer/vocalist extraordinaire.

Mickey's music is a collision of new and old, digital and analogue instruments, bent and pushed to their limits. Mickey is constantly leading his fans down a seemingly endless road filled with bold stylistic choices and wild sounds – and we're happily along for the ride.

Bursting onto Aussie radios with the now house classic 'Feel My Pain'. In the years to follow he's dropped radio banger after banger with 'Move To Fast', 'Save You're Breath' 'All That Acid' and 'Video Games'. As well as collaborating on singles with Bag Raiders, Go Freek and with USA EDM act K?D's single Electronic Memories which has been streamed more than 15 million times. A fan highlight from Mickey's catalogue is his 2019 Triple J Like A Version of Art vs Science’s ‘Parlez-vous Francais’.

Coloured with warped guitars, mind-melting synths and gritty undertones, Mickey's 2022 debut album ULTRA, sends you into a vivid-trance as Mickey unpacks a whirlpool of themes from imposter syndrome and isolation to the twisted sides of materialism. Mickey talks through what inspired Ultra;

“The majority of the album was written in the months after our first lockdown in 2020. I had just finished playing the best shows of my life and was inspired to write a whole bunch of energetic, live-focused electronic music so that when things went back to “normal”, the band and I would be ready to shred across the country once more.”

Mickey is currently touring nationally in support of his album kicking it off with a packed Splendour In The Grass, Mix Up tent set before dates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Albury, Gold Coast and Townsville, including secret bush doof Shedfest, bringing his signature synth sorcery from Ultra to a stage near you.
