BANNIE
LIVE MIX DJ • PRODUCER • SONGWRITER • MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST
Cinematic Dance Music for the Soul Bannie is one half of the dynamic duo Night Tales is the genre-defying Australian electronic music duo, whose rare chemistry births music that moves both body and soul. Melding hypnotic house rhythms, raw lyricism, and cinematic ambience, Night Tales stands boldly at the crossroads of club culture and emotional storytelling. Since launching the project, the duo has carved a unique lane in the global electronic landscape, amassing over 12.5 million Spotify streams, 4 million on Apple Music, and 2 million YouTube views—proving that emotionally charged dance music has a powerful audience. Their 2022 debut album via Ultra Music/Sony marked a creative turning point, drawing from deeply personal experiences including being stranded in the U.S. during COVID, which inspired tracks like “Thinking About You.” On stage, Night Tales transforms into a force of energy and intimacy. From commanding festival crowds at Pal Norte (Mexico) and Electric Forest (Michigan) to immersive live DJ sets where they sing, play instruments, and produce in real-time, the duo blurs the line between performance and catharsis. Every show is a release—a moment to connect, reflect, and feel. But Bannie isn’t just making dance music—they’re reshaping identity. As two black artists in a genre often dominated by white male figures, Kamaliza and Bannie are pioneering swag and soul in electronic music, determined to bridge the gap between urban culture and dance music. Their sound—a lush fusion of alt-electronic, emotional R&B, and deep house—is deeply intentional. “At the forefront of what we do is human emotion,” the duo explains. Whether it's the vulnerability of “Patient” or the euphoria of “Lovesong”, Night Tales invites listeners into intimate moments wrapped in powerful rhythms. Their music is both a celebration and surrender—giving space to heartbreak, love, longing, and the quiet chaos of being alive. Night Tales continues to push forward a narrative they’ve long believed in: that the future of electronic music is diverse, emotional, and boundaryless. With new music and global tours on the horizon, Night Tales is not just playing the game—they’re changing it.
