Electronic music producer nimino performs live at The Sound Del Mar as part of his Keep Me Awake Tour.
nimino plays The Sound on Saturday, December 19, as part of the Keep Me Awake tour. It's an all-ages show presented by Belly Up Presents, with doors opening at 7 PM and the set starting at 8 PM.
If you've come across the name recently, it's likely from "I Only Smoke When I Drink," the 2024 track that's passed 250 million streams, charted on the UK Singles Chart, and spent over 20 weeks on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Chart. That was followed by the Creek EP in March 2025. He's played Coachella, Lollapalooza, Leeds Fest, Boomtown, Field Day, Cercle, CRSSD, and Lightning in a Bottle, and he's signed to Counter Records, Ninja Tune's electronic imprint.
Behind the alias is Milo Evans, who started making music as a teenager in the UK to channel his ADHD, beginning with loop-stitching on an Asus laptop. His first release came in 2013—a slow-motion, bass-inflected take on the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind"—which earned him Huffington Post's "Artist of the Month." Later, he launched the series songs for people you may know, which produced the 2022 track "Opening Credits." He describes the nimino character as a symbol for the journey of his musical tastes.
