Kish Mauve

Band, *2005
Electronic, Rock and Pop
A.k.a. Mima Stilwell & Jim Eliot

Kish Mauve released their debut extended play, the 'Kish Mauve EP', in July 2005 through Sunday Best Recordings during which time they were at times presented as a three girl electropop act. By 2006, with the 'Modern Love' single they were performing live as a 4-piece pop-rock act featuring noted alternative rock guitarist James Sedwards and drummer David Nock and had established working relationships with a number of noted remixers in a range of electro genres. Their final Sunday Best release came in 2007 when Kish Mauve and 4 other label acts contributed versions of Georgio Moroder / Phil Oakey classic 'Together In Electric Dreams' to the label's tribute EP of that name. Kish Mauve released their debut album, 'Black Heart', in March 2009 on their own label, YNYS Recordings, preceded by singles 'Lose Control' and 'Come On'. Kish Mauve's commercial relationships then included SolarManagement.co.uk and their music was published by Sony/ATV. Kish Mauve's music has been featured in multiple television shows and advertisements. Several of their songs appeared on the United States television series Dirty Sexy Money, the song "Can't Get Enough" was featured in a Rimmel commercial, and Dell used their version of "2 Hearts" in a computer advertisement. The group are particularly well known for their collaborations with Kylie Minogue. In 2007, the duo produced Minogue's cover version of their song "2 Hearts", which was released as the lead single to Kylie's album "X". It reached number one in Australia and number four in the United Kingdom. Minogue also co-wrote on "You Make Me Feel", a track recorded and released by Kish Mauve when it did not make it to the final cut for X. In 2010, they again wrote and co-produced a single for Minogue, "All the Lovers"; released as the first single from Minogue's eleventh studio album, Aphrodite, it peaked at number three in the UK. Stilwell and Eliot also contributed to Will Young's fifth studio album, Echoes, released in 2011. Six songs co-written with Young are featured on Echoes, including the lead single, "Jealousy"; also appearing on the album is a cover of their 2009 single "Come On". Kish Mauve worked with Sophie Ellis-Bextor on tracks to feature on her fourth studio album, Make a Scene (2011), but none of these tracks made the final cut. Jim Eliot worked with Ladyhawke and Rosie and the Goldbug on their respective debut albums, Ladyhawke and Rosie and the Goldbug (both 2008), and with Ellie Goulding on her second studio album, Halcyon (2012). He has written and produced material for Little Boots, Girls Aloud, Rae Morris, Rosanna Munter, and Olly Murs.
