Mildlife, Wikipedia informs us matter of factly, are a 'Melbourne based, Australian psychedelic jazz fusion group'. They have a new album out- I haven't heard it yet but will report back when I have. Last year they released a single called Return To Centaurus, a nine minute voyage into psychedelic/ cosmic space music with echoes of Giorgio Morodor and Sun Ra, music for the birth of the universe. It's ridiculously good. I only heard it a few weeks ago. The EP with the original version and two remixes can be bought here. The remix here is by Lovefingers, a fourteen minute slow jam with cosmic surf guitar, bongos and timpani, spaced out vocals and a long growly spoken word section that is very much a bathhouse odyssey.

Psyched
I've posted a few odds and ends by Psychemagik previously though nothing since 2017. Back then I posted this track, Triumph Of The Gods, a piece of music first released in 2017, that is epic in scale, starting with piano, then drums and sweeping strings, and which has the feel of a major 1960s film soundtrack with undertones of David Axelrod.
In late 2021 there was a 12" release with two remixes of Triumph Of The Gods, one by Richard Norris and one by Prins Thomas- a 12" I found recently while going through my records and had forgotten I owned. Given everything that was going on then, there are probably quite a few things from late 2021 that I missed. Both remixes are very good and neither seem to be on the internet so you'll have to take my word for it for the time being.
A year ago Heavenly released volumes 5 and 6 of their remixes compilation series. On Volume 5 was the Psychemagik dub remix of Mildlife's Automatic, another huge sounding piece of music that is cinematic in scope and full of spine tingling and hair raising moments.
