Milky CHANCE

Clemens Rehbein and Phillip Dausch are the creative duo behind German indie rock band Milky Chance. The pair grew up in Kassel, in central Germany, and decided to form a band after meeting in their school’s advanced music course. Their first single, ‘Stolen Dance’, was an instant hit, and they’ve been a fixture of the indie scene — and the global festival circuit — ever since. Now, nearly a decade on, the two have moved on from their hometown, and now live in Berlin. We spoke with the duo about the German capital’s influence on their music, how to keep the spark alive in a musical marriage, and their top recommendations for travelers in their Berlin Travel Playbook.
