Milky Chance is a German alternative pop folk-rock duo with reggae and electronic music influences made up of Clemens Rehbein as vocalist and musician and Philipp Dausch as DJ. Both originating from Kassel, they are signed to Kassel-based label Lichtdicht Records.
The duo finished their high school education at Jacob-Grimm-Schule. Clemens played in a jazz quartet known as Flown Tones, where he played bass guitar. Philipp was a DJ. The duo worked in 2012 launching some materials online, notably "Stolen Dance," that attracted attention. In 2013, they released their self-produced album "Sadnecessary" that was well received, which included the tracks "Stolen Dance" and "Down by the River." Both the album and the debut single "Stolen Dance" have charted in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
In May 2013, Milky Chance made a sold-out tour of Germany to promote the album and participated in several music festivals, including Dockville Festival in Hamburg. They embarked on a European tour in 2014.
