SMILK is the brainchild of Melbourne based multi-instrumentalist Nathaniel Hansen. Transgressing a cacophonous array of influences ranging from metal, acoustic, jazz and funk SMILK marries dreamy melodies with the glitch of electronica to produce effortless and dreamy psychedelic soundscapes.
A practicing musician from the age of eight, Nathaniel Hansen's interested in working amongst a broad range of genre's stems from a passion for provoking the listener to hear and see the familiar in a new light through his series of conceptually rigorous and coherent releases and DJ sets. His work is noted for its intricate percussive style and cross epoch smashing ingenuity, at once localised as a distinctive sound of the new generation of Melbourne electronic producers aswell as locatable within the global electro phenomena from Berlin to London to Tel Aviv.

6 years on and this still presents itself a glitchy, melodic masterpiece, warming the IDM soul on a wintery Sunday afternoon with playful percussion and sweet harmonics. Can't choose between Birth of Thoughts or Major MInors as my favourite. onelovellama
