D.D. Mirage - the new project from Josh Dives and Disky Dee of Yeah Nah Yeah - have cemented themselves as a key act in Australia’s Balearic New Wave.

Formed in Sydney during the pandemic, the longtime friends, both multi-instrumentalists, songwriters, producers, and DJs, transformed their love of travel and global music into songs that transport listeners across borders. If they couldn’t get to Ibiza, Naples, Lagos, London, or New York, the music could take them.

Their sound is equally at home under clear blue skies or on neon-lit nights, drawing on the drum-machine-and-synthesiser-driven dance music of the 1980s. Across their breakout singles and debut album Exotic Illusions, including ‘Night Time’ (featuring Private Joy) and ‘Feel It/So Hot’, disco, post-punk, synth-pop, street soul, and lovers rock swirl into a cosmopolitan mix. D.D. Mirage’s deep listening and digger sensibilities shine, and they’ve earned plays from DJ Bill Brewster, Bradley Zero, CC:Disco!, and Shy One.

Following radio support in Australia and the UK, D.D. Mirage expanded to a four-piece live band in 2025, launching Exotic Illusions at a sold-out Melbourne concert, and going on to play Dark Mofo, Strawberry Fields, and Wonder Mountain Festivals.

Their next release, the lovers rock single ‘Echoes’ featuring Teddy Bryant, arrived in December ahead of their second album Fata Morgana releasing late 2026 through Isle of Jura.
