Marbs, co-founder of Desert Hearts and visionary behind Desert Hearts Black, returns with a introspective yet club-ready release—‘Tidal Break EP'. Showcasing his signature blend of emotive storytelling and creative production, the two-track release explores the contrasts of light and dark, positivity and adversity, taking listeners on a trip into his own musical universe.

The opening track, ‘Toroidal', embodies the concept of duality. A soaring, uplifting vocal guides the listener through themes of self-discovery and optimism, only to be met with a curveball after the break—where the instrumental shifts and the vocal fractures into chopped elements, reflecting the unpredictable twists of life.

‘Breaking' ventures further into uncharted territory. Originally conceived as a personal, eclectic composition, the track seamlessly blends breakbeats with emotive textures, capturing the essence of pushing through life's toughest seasons. What began as an introspective listen evolved into a track perfectly suited for the dance floor, showcasing Marbs' fearless approach to sound composition.

With the Tidal Break EP, Marbs leans into contrast—light and dark, smooth and broken, familiar and unexpected.

Berlin’s first lady, Anja Schneider, remixes Marbs’ recent hit record, ‘Whitefence’ 

Everyone has their origin story, Anja’s begins with the legendary club, Tresor. After a magical first experience and an epiphany that Techno could be her life’s journey, Anja moved to Berlin and set out to make her dreams come true. Some 30 years later, she has achieved more than she could ever imagine. A DJ throughout the ‘90s, she opened her production portfolio in 2005 with a Sebo K collaboration on her new imprint, Mobilee, a label which would become seminal. After 12 years at the helm, she launched her new venture SoUs and continues to push a warm, richly musical, tech sound. 

For her remix, Anja strips the original back to basics and injects a a ton of funk. Opening with wonky fx and a tough kick, subtle disco bass and vocal ad libs keep it groovy, baby. Riding the automation, the bassline mutates and envigorates to the break where a moment of calm is broken by a dancefloor of happy clubbers dancing their troubles away.

Over the past seven years Desert Hearts has become one of North America’s strongest curatorial forces for underground shades of house and techno. Through their flagship festival, touring event concepts, and record label, the brand has fostered a community of music fans in search of peak dancefloor experiences. With a diverse range of taste offered from its founding members, the Desert Hearts sound embodies a spectrum of sonics fit for any time, from day time get-downs to the darkest hours just before daybreak. 

It is those otherworldly moments of early morning reflection that embody the sound and direction of the label’s newly founded subsidiary, Desert Hearts Black. The label has been announced today as a creative outlet for Desert Hearts founder Marbs and fellow venturer into the deeper and darker avenues of electronic music, Evan Casey. Those who have attended Desert Hearts’ flagship festival will know Marbs and Evan from their iconic late-night sets that have become an essential part of the event’s trajectory and avant-garde appeal. DH Black will keep course with the vibe that these performances have crafted, merging the connectivity of the brand’s core ethos with the melodic and psychedelic sounds of tomorrow. 

In Marbs’s own words on the launch of the label, “The primary intention of Desert Hearts Black is to open up more opportunities for the community to experience and participate in the late night and early morning music heard at the festival over the years. Currently, Desert Hearts Records has represented our house community to the fullest and we want to provide that same outlet for those in our family who enjoy heavier, darker, more journey driven sounds.  
   
Someone special to me once said, ‘We can easily find our way in the light, but in the darkness is where we can truly discover who we are.’ Those moments of self discovery, especially within music, have shaped who we are and how we see the world around us. This project is aimed at creating immersive experiences, of both sound and setting, to take people deeper and reach into the far corners of the genres we love so much.”

The new label will be minted by a collaborative three-track release from Marbs, Rinzen, and Evan Casey, ‘Torus’ EP, due out August 9. In celebration of the release, the trio of cosmonaut producers have released a stream of its title track, an ethereal and haunting journey into their shared cryptic psyche. Marbs and Evan have been joined by Rinzen on the debut release, a producer who has seen a momentous trajectory through his narrative based concept EPs on mau5trap and releases via key European labels like Berlin’s Steyoyoke and London’s Chapter 24 Records. 

Desert Hearts Black will host a release party for the EP on August 9 in Downtown Los Angeles’ warehouse district - a fitting locale for the dark trip in store. The event will feature label residents and special guests throughout the evening to be announced. More info here: https://deserthearts.us/black

It is with the abundant tools of space and abstraction that Desert Hearts Black aims to project the endless internal journey of the mind onto all of those willing to dig deeper. Strap in.
